I'll see your Turbine blade and raise you a donkey on a flat car.
Those turbine blades are so big when you're close up. We have seen them on semi's on I-80.
The flat car was my favorite rolling stock build.
Does anyone have any experience installing a coupler on the K27 tender? At 3mm wide I beginning to believe I need to cut/enlarge the existing hole. I'm hoping to confirm before I take the dremel to it. Thanks.
Larry's Creek trestle construction is nearly complete. I was anxious to see how a locomotive made the slight curve between the bridge and the trestle. So I temporarily set the trestle and gave the shay the first run. The shay being so short had no problems.
Living in the redwoods will always be my favorite experience. Saw my first banana slug in Rio Nido. If someone could market that slime that they are coated with, they could make a fortune. I didn't think I would ever get that stuff off my fingers after picking up a 6 incher.
16-22" radius curves. The shay/logging spur is the tightest with 16" radius on the two curves by Camp Meeker. I only plan to run Shays and a Heisler on that section and each worked fine on test runs. Back around Tyrone Mill where I connect the bridge/trestle/tunnel the radius is a tight 18"...
I've been working on the "non-engineered" trestle on the fictional logging spur between Occidental and Streeton's Mill. I found this old Benson Logging Co. switchback photo and wanted something, not identical but representative of what backwoods loggers may have built to get to their locomotives...
I really doubt it. And migalyto is absolutely correct. Using flame can be dangerous.
Maybe a small fan directed to it might help. Otherwise contact the manufacture, they may be able to answer the drying issue.
