Future home of the Northern Pacific and Black Hills Ry.

So, I did some switching and a bit of fine tuning of the points for one switch.

And the video,

 

Nice switching...

I noticed the switch where that little white house is was making the cars 'jump' on the backup move. Just an observation.

 

Yup, it do! Being it is a need for "fine tuning" observation. And it always takes a while to get them all dialed in. Fun stuff!

 

Morning java and just running some li'l loco's. Two moguls and an 0-6-0.

 

Thanks for the wake-up run. Lifting my coffee cup to ya!

 

Mugs go 'klunk!'

 

And Sunday morning fun. I also spent a bit of time putting brake wheels and truss rods on some boxcars.

 

That's a great way to spend the morning. Some good looking trains on a cool layout. Nice work Alan!

 

Danger Will Robinson! We have a passenger car off the track! Thanks for sharing these videos, keeps me motivated while I put something together myself.

 

Good eye! That may be the reason I stopped the train when and where I did.........

 

An MDC 36' boxcar and the Fine-N-Scale one. Quite the difference.
A fun view of the 4,

And the nose of the 104,


A couple of fun time videos,

 

This morning was a switching puzzle...

 

Not getting much train time currently, but did have a bit of fun,

 

Those little Moguls always make me smile, thanks.

 

Any small steam is good for me! A ten-wheeler, mogul, connsol or American standard make my day!

 

Have made tiny bits of progress this week with the W3,

 

Haven't had much time to do anything out in the Trainshed for a few weeks, but just run a train now and then, which is good! And make some baby steps of progress on the W3. The speaker has been changed out and am currently fussing with the running gear and the backup light stuff. Fun!

A couple of nice comparison shots of the Bman K4s and BLI light pacific. Even though the Bman has a 'weak' sound card, it has performed flawlessly for years. The only thing I have had to do with it is clean, so I have zero complaints with them about this loco. The BLI has a much better sound, the P4 card is very good.


And some fun running three trains!

 

Thanks for the video. It's fun watching 3 trains running. That Pennsy passenger train is very far from home.

 

Yup, it is! The store is that a group of PRR exec's have invested in the oil fields that the NP&BH service, and thus need to come by occassionally!

 

That story works for me. It's a nice train and any excuse to run it is ducky.
