Forney Running!
Posted by altterrain on Saturday, November 7, 2009 8:41 PM

 I spent the afternoon at the club meeting at Peter Drymalski's most excellent Rock Creek Railroad.  Peter's layout is a long dogbone that make a big U around his backyard. It is all on dry stack stone raised beds from 2 to 3 feet tall. The towns at each end feature many of Peter's scratch and bashed structures. The track is Aristo and H&R stainless with a 27mHz TE for power. I brought the Forney and small consist over to run. It ran pretty well on sharper curves only getting hung up on an occasional switch frog.

My overton cars just had a reworking with new LED light strips inside, shortened couplers and relettering for the C&A -

Nice photos. Pretty locomotive! Do us a favour and let us know how you like the LED light strips. The Rock Creek viaduct looks fabulous! nice detail with the drains. Thanks for posting. /PhM
With so many mistakes out there waiting to be made, why bother repeating them?
