Progress on the Canadian Southern

EDIT: Luke, I see that you have not used our gallery to upload your pictures to but rather the gallery at Nscale.net. Upon visiting that site, I can not get your pictures to display from that location either. I've got a question in to some of the other mods to see if this is just me... or what.

I can't see the pictures in that post, either.

Here's a link to photobucket. It's free to join, you can post as many pictures as you wish, and they also give you some editing options. Just follow their simple instructions.
To post a picture from photobucket into this forum, click on the photo which you wish to post, then click on the line of data beginning with "IMG". This will automatically copy the data. Next, in your composition window here, place the cursor where you'd like the picture to appear, then click on "EDIT" on your browser's tool bar, then click on "PASTE". The line of data will appear in your composition window, but it will automatically appear as a photo as soon as you hit "POST".

Linking photos from another train site's gallery is frowned upon in most forums - something about using-up their bandwidth or some such horsefeathers.

lol, yea I figured that it might be frowned upon, but for some reason I can't figure out the gallery on Big Blue... which is why I linked from there.

I'll transfer over to Photobucket and repost said pictures this weekend.


I'm using Caulk as my way to keep the track down because track nails seem to still lift up in sections, and its letting the track spring at the joints. I'm also running into issues with flex track at curves, one section especially as one rail seems to have raised higher than the other rail... while I'm only getting stalls on my EMD E8A, GP9, and SD40. My steamers seem to be able to navigate it just fine (which is total opposite from what I'm used too!!!)

I have also found that the heavy mountain struggles at speed step 10 (outa 24) on the 2% grades hauling only 3 passenger cars... I must find a way to increase tractive effort on this loco...
