Oh No! Not another egg train!

After seeing what Jerry Barnes did with his eggs -  http://www.aristocraft.com/vbulletinforums/showthread.php?t=10710 , I couldn't help but steal his idea.
I created a couple of cars - an egg diner and egg coach and modified the egg critter loco. The cars use Sierra trucks and all the marker lights are lit with grain of wheat bulbs (what a pain in the butt that was!). The coach car has power pick ups with a new style Sierra truck. The cars are electrically interconnected with each other and the loco. The egg loco got new air tanks, smoke stack, bell, horn, headlight and front bumper. I trimmed down a pair of two axle truck side frames and glued them to the sides.



My egg train will be making its inaugural run at our club's January meeting tomorrow (Sunday, January 20th) where we run trains for the public from 1 to 4 pm at the Fairfax Station RR Museum (http://www.fairfax-station.org/).

Fun to see how the Egg trains cause so many chuck'ly comments.  I noticed, on a recent posting on ebay, they said you could use them to make coaches for your Eggliner, as I did. FUN! Jerry

Brian, do you know if your egg liner eggspress train handles 4 foot radius S curves??

 Got an idea for a elevated city tram line, and thinking the egg liner might work better than trolley or coaches.

 Thanks,

Yes it does. Both the eggliner and lil' critter starter sets come with four foot track. They have the same truck as the RS-3's, FA-1, etc. Even those will run on four foot curves.

I had one running just fine on this Bachmann track set up at Christmas time -
