If any one has had success in adding some weight to a New Bright or Scientific engine please share that with me. I've got it pulling 2 box cars, 2 gondolas, a caboose and that Dam heavy caboose full of "C" batteries. LocoAnnie are you there ?
Well through the power of flea markets I've ended up with (3) Cheap "G" scale sets. (2) Scientific and (1) New Bright. I do agree the new bright is made cheaper if thats possible. I plan to cull the best from all three, and dump the rest on Ebay. I noticed today to my surprise that New Bright and Scientific track have the couplers on opposite sides and are incompatible. Who's braniac idea was that ? Any way, can the joiners safely be removed and moved to the other side. That would give me 6 more straights. Thanks in advance for any answers. Dave in PABTW this is to scratch the "G" itch. If it works, I plan on getting some Hartland or Bachmann Annie equipment. If not and I sell it all, all I'm out is time. Dave
Also any reccomendations of a lighter rechargeable 9volt pack. I have an MRC Battery charger I picked up for a $1.00 Cheap is out there if you hit the flea markets.
Thanks again for any ideas, other than just give up while your ahead. Dave in PA
Have fun with your trains
