Sagami Can motor, NWSL components) with Gold Coast box car on my first 'finished' module.
|
November 12, 2011 - The display at Trains 2011. Despite the best efforts of Murphy to
sabotage the display we managed to have a good run.
|
The brown unfinished modules were a temporary expedient to eliminate a very bad reverse
curve between two corner modules. Had enough BG1 pieces (or BG2 , BG4 to make a BG1)
been available they would have been installed length wise.
|
November 2011 - The Southern Pacific GP7 has a Lok-n-Roll chassis under it. Sadly the
power chassis failed badly after a short run. A very poor design for location of motor and the
universal shaft. Fixed Saturday night. Failed again Sunday AM. Now in the process of trying
to relocate the motor.
|
August 15, 2011 - Another overview. Trees were added to the inside of the curves on the
right hand corner modules.
|
August 1, 2011 - Here is an overall shot of my current six modules with a bit of US
equipment running..
|
August 1, 2011 - The display needed a few signs.
|
August 1, 2011 - After mistakes were fixed today was equipment test day. I acquired a
collection of TT about a decade ago and have not been able to test them yet.
I appear to have the contents of two Berliner 'T' box sets. Neither of the locomotives are stellar
performers. I do have a third set in the original box.
Of the Tillig Steam engines this 2-8-0+T (three axle tender) is the best performer. A bit noisy, a
clean and lube should help.
This 2-8-2T also shows promise. It is also noisy. I hope a servicing will improve its
operation.
There are two of these 0-4-0Ts. Neither run. I am hoping a clean and lube will help
This diesel needs work.
as does this set of railcars.
This cute side rod diesel runs but is very noisy. I hope a servicing will calm it down as it
otherwise runs well.
I also acquired a bit of Traing Equipment (and a lot of Triang Track).:
A nice Castle Class 4-6-0+T:
Runs Noisy. Tender wheels do not like the new turnouts.
