Different power on the Anna Lines - tomustang - 02-14-2011

Epaw graciously allowed me to come visit and run some items on his work in progress layout. Had a great time and started some records on his rails Icon_lol like a 86 car train and 40+ car backup over 6 turnouts Eek Some of his locomotives have some serious pull to them!

I'm glad I was able to test out more than half of my rolling stock and so far so good, just some coupler changes and wheel adjustments (not bad for some scratchbuilding and a couple of hack jobs Goldth )

Wow! I am so envious of those big sweeping curves! A nice place to run trains and great equipment indeed!

Holy cow! Now how is it that I never realized E-Paw had such a huge layout? And based on that one area with the scenery, this is gonna be a great layout! Way to go, E-Paw!

Thanks for stopping Tom, I guess that little running session could be considered the layouts official opening Cheers . It really gave me a chance to test out my track work under some heavy use age. It also pointed out a few spots that need attention.

BTW I weighed the 90MAC to see just how much ballast I added to it,,she comes in at Eek 2.17 pounds Eek .
Thanks for stopping by.
