<p><img src="http://s168.photobucket.com/user/dcrane_2007/story" alt=" " />I don't know if these picuture files will help, but here is my 130' Walters installed some two or three years back. Never a problem. No problems with installation either. These are the units we all had to wait almost two years to arrive on backorder as the factory in China was low on production and fixing problems.</p> <p>Unit runs beautifully. I use the controller instead of programming cvs for TT track assignments. This installation is much faster and far more foolproof than fiddling with cv on a throttle to use the TT.</p> <p> </p> <p>Had left a bed of 2 in high density foam over 1/2" ply for the base. For the longest time it simply resembled a big pink lake in the layout until the unit arrived.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/5-1000_zpscbemnhb8.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Finally installed.</p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/4-1000_zpsrm5bqofs.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Used CN style bumpers.</p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/DSC04371_zpsea7c2be7.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Visiting valuable brass big loco.</p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/16da2e3f-55d2-4580-8c34-97d8a1a5ca7f_zpsc7e27f1a.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Worth a small fortune for this full set of GN brass collected by a friend's father in the '60s</p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/DSC03559-1000_zpsac32f4fb.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p> </p> <p>Who is more accurate....Brass loco or Walters round house.
