All,
Here is my first video from my new layout. http://youtu.be/699NBq3WCFA It was a real "shelf clearer". I drug them **all** out and is by far the longest train I have ever run in my house. I will let you count the cars. Some of the cars have probably never been run since I bought or finished them. There are another 15+ cars that could be and eventually will be in this train but they are not painted or needed some TLC I could not quickly provide to run it last night. You could also subtitle it "I finally made my EM-1 slip!" In reality the EM-1 DID pull this train alone but it was slipping a bit. The helpers just added a bit to the effect and the moving of the train. Now that I have the layout I should probably go through the cars and make sure **all** of the axles are oiled. In spite of a true helper operation nothing derailed. This train has at least 5 laps run without issue before I called it a night. There are only 2 cars in this train that are NOT brass & none are wood. Care to guess which ones? 1 car should be easy to spot. The other - one not as easy? When I say not brass -because it is really STEEL! It started out as an open hopper drag and I added other cars to it. I painted almost all of the cars so you are watching 20+ years of my painting roll past you. I would say that the train is 30 feet long. For those that think the 1 amp Tsunami is not up to the task I say poppycock! This is the Heavy used as a single decoder stuffed in the boiler with a RailMaster deep bass speaker pointed right up the stack. If this train does not turn a Tsunami into a smoke unit nothing will! Yes it is 4:20 AM.. I get my garage addition started today. This will create my permanent workshop in the old garage allowing more open space in the basement for possible future layout expansion! It is a win win win!
