Anyone for ,,steam power?
Posted by Marty Cozad on Sunday, March 20, 2005 1:37 PM

Heading south through Neb jct.
(through tunnel to new Eastern Subdivison)
(to right is new revese loop for turning trains around)

i was out playing around this morning and thought I'd try DH my steamers.
Both have their own batt/RC. Pacific has sound and WOOW do i need sound for the mallet. just ain't the same.


Heading into Minersville at the Minersville crossing.


The trick was running them together on a different channels. I paced them for awhile then coupled and watched the couplers to keep track of my speed.
Bring them into station stops and stoping at the station was not always easy.


The pacific as sat for awhile thus the dust build up. I had a mixed fast frieght on it, which has not been seen for awhile.

Double tracked are by the shop.

Now , garden RRing is NOT just rains going around in circles. ;)

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Matt, you know how you can get something new and its OK. Then theres items like this mallet that you really enjoy.!!! The other evening I had my USAT passenger train coupled to this and they ran so go. I really enjoy that train. Lights on and everything.
