Newer production Rivarossi Heisler, (can motor, DCC ready) I went back and forth about buying one. I had read mostly ok reviews on these. Now I'm glad I got it, it runs very nicely. (please pardon the lack of a bell, I would rather not talk about it right now)
Oh dear, the missing bell! Been there, lost that!I don't want to talk about it either, but there may be someone out in Trainboard land who could help? Sympathies from here for too many lost bells, all of which ring in my head when I look at old Berkshires with no bells!
Actually, Bob, I've found them all, over time. I was just sympathizing, and I'm refraining from another pun about no bells. I do have a few brass bells to donate from my collection of dormant 0-8-0 Atlas engines.
Hope you don't mind I was having a little fun. That's what forums are for. Man, English is stranger, the more I write. Try parsing those last two sentences in German, for example. Glad you found the bell, so I can stop being cute and go to bed.
Of course not, I know you were just joking, thats why I use the smileys wink::tb-biggrin: Actually it came off while I was putting in a decoder, this thing was a pain to put back together, the handrails, lights and roof alignment all had to be in "sync". After 4 or 5 tries, put it down and walk away. Came back later, second try I did it. My fingers are just too fat.:mwink:
I seem to be hit and miss with posting images these weeks. I scrambled to get something a little different. Here, a J Class from the Norfolk & Western is pressed into service pulling an excursion on a Sunday. It is about to cross the Seneca River via the interchange.
In the 1:1 world, I can stare at aerial photos for hours. Here's a recent 1:160 aerial shot at the small town of Burt.
Nice photos guys. With having a show last weekend, I am currently in modelling overload phase this week, so not much from me. I did manage to snap a few piccies off showing the layout in its sectional state, while I was unpacking it. A week later and it still looks pretty much the same. First up, the layout at Wigan show last weekend - about 320 mile round trip, I don't get much time to take snaps at a busy show, so I usually take them before the show opens on the Sunday morning The sections fit together for transportation to and from the show. This means attaching end supports and protecting the backscene with packing foam. One of the boards seperated from its partner but with the end-divider and foam still in place Two of the boards unpacked and ready for joining together on the frame I use at home. The layout rests on the metal frame in the basement, rather than the exhibition legs, to lower the layout to a workable height. Jon
