Zephyr
Rocket Red
This is a true fun weekend for me! I started it out right by running trains at the club last night and will be taking an Amtrak trip this weekend. Only Denver to Omaha and back, but it will be nice to ride the rails!
I just finished an RDC project. I used old Athearn RDCs, which aren't scale size (72' instead of 85'). I rebuilt the engine in the powered unit with a gearing kit, but I don't think it will work. Here are a couple photos of just the dummy unit. In sum, I am going to redo this project with scale size RDCs, perhaps using Life Like.
The main event tonight was running my new Broadway Limited Santa Fe 4-8-4 Northern, #3751! This was a crowd pleaser.
My new executive fleet consists of 5 cars; I hope to get 2-4 more to stretch it out a bit.
Enjoy!
