Huh?.It ain't the Toonerville Trolley
Huh?.It ain't the Toonerville Trolley
The Toonerville Trolley is an old black and white 1930s animated cartoon..It's on YouTube. I believe they've been colorized. Not sure...Huh?
I totally agree. Our models (with rare exceptions) don't have working suspension in the trucks, which really makes a difference when our models travel over rough track or uneven joints. While the prototype can absorb some of the vertical motion caused by bad track or spongy subgrade our models tend to make abrupt vertical movements. Though there is often a prototype for mismatched coupler height for a number of reasons, it's best to keep our models as close to a standard coupler height as possible.Real railroads may have coupler mis-match, but on HO railroads, it's not a good thing to have trains separate, especially on a grade. Having good track work does help to minimize issues due to mis-match but it's always good to make adjustments to keep'em to the Kadee height guage.

So ok then, going back to the original topic you’ve abandoned the “real world" alignment and adopted the NMRA standard after all?
HA HA...so who says I have an HO railroad? That scale is too small for a serious model railroader like me who is from the Steam Days in the 1930s! Here's the scale I model in: O-Scale 2-Rail !
That little HO locomotive cluttering up my track is preventing my mighty O-Scale diesel from moving on.....
Outta the way, Squirt!
