Weekend Update 5/14/17

[Lemosteam]

Rerceived the stainless etch for the Keystone Details PRR 3768 kit and this happened:  Added embedded pics here: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=41921.msg525958#msg525958

For the first time in a while, I did some modeling worth while. I got a bunch of european N scale in a trade for my Z scale stuff I had that I never used anymore. In this lot, I got some passenger cars, a few freight cars, and a few locomotives. I got a fleischmann 2-10-0 that needed to be totally tore down and cleaned/oiled, as the freewheeling locomotive was seized. Another was a arnold BR212 that needed a new truck pin, An arnold 4-6-4 tank engine that didn't need any work, a fleishschmann BR614 that needed some wiring fixes and cleaning. But in the lot, was an old Lima FS E.424 locomotive, One of the REALLY old ones that were one wheel drive. I built a Scratchbuilt Mechanism for it, Using the trucks from a Fleischmann V212. It has the wrong trucks, but until I find a mechanism with the proper wheel spacing for the truck frames, this will work, and it looks convening. I need to find some longer worms for it, It aint pretty, but for now, it works.

Nice vintage Europen stuff - I like it!  Was that a coreless motor I saw?

No, I wish, It's just some generic Ebay 5 pole can motor, left over from a project where I bought a bag of 5 for cheap. I remotored one of the old lifelike 0-6-0T "Little Joe" locomotives, and a little atlas Davenport switcher with the same can motors. It took some modifying of the shells, but again, it looks convening, and I'm happy with them.

I did.  So did @Dave Vollmer and @LIRR.    I'm becoming very annoyed by the discussion that implies that TRW is an N scale club and others are not welcome.

...I'm becoming very annoyed by the discussion that implies that TRW is an N scale club and others are not welcome.

It seems to me only a few posters bemoaned the fact that N scalers were changing over to HO. That wouldn't be enough to bother me. Yes, some things get under my skin, but not everything...


Hmm... Kiz is taking so
much mood altering drugs
for his bipolar disorder that
very little bothers him...

Sorry but the majority of post this week are pretty boring .
It should not be the place for a discussion of N over HO .
I usually enjoy this thread looking at a great show with a good coffee , but not today , sorry .
