Can't tell, since it looks pretty sealed. May well be 5, since my GP60s are pretty smooth, compared to the Blue Box GP7s I sometimes run.

Thanks for the info on the motors, fine tuning I don't mind it gives me something constructive I can do.
Kenedy the blue box locos will smooth out too, at least to an acceptable level, it does take some patience and study to see where the drive is binding.

Wild plans here.
Flak bunkers and anti aircraft gun positions are in progress......
Solid reinforced concrete.
I think I'll use them for a H0 module.
I need a safe place for hefty web discussions that exists here in Norway.
I'm thinking about anti aircraft protection in addition to sabotage protection for my trains too...
Some armoured cars would be nice for use against those red light runners. I already have 105mm artillery with transport units for self defense use.

Jon I hope you're not planning WWW3

Maximum module length: 1,2 meter.
You must remember that Norway was occupied for 5 years and that the germans left so much stuff here that the government made an own department to govern it all. When they left, they just went home. The module is planned with a couple of bunkers and maybe some foxholes and trenches as they were ten years on, in the fifties. But then again I'm no stranger to strange projects and lofty planning.

All locos benefit from break-in time. Obviously, if there's something dreadfully wrong, it needs fixing. Plus, tweaking does help. Still, if you're of the lazy type, that break-in period may well be sufficient.

New Book
I am working on a book project about American Model Railroads (in German) for a publisher here in Germany. I will have to deliver my material within the next few days, all the pictures and drawings will follow in early February. Naturally, there was no time for model building projects with the exception of stuff arranged for the book. I have traveled a lot in the US an have a good number of photos from the prototype, but still I had to depend on some of my friends for more stuff.
The book will be out in late April and there is still a lot of work to do...

The title page is very attractive Martin, good luck with your book
Well I guess I've been working on a few different things and this is the latest. I've put a lot of time in on this but I'm pleased enough with it now to leave it alone. I'll need a name for the area pretty soon, it's on a 45deg dog leg. The photo with the engine was how it looked before ( sorry this is the only before one I have)

Two days ago, one of my friends called to tell me he had seen my book in the bookstore. The same night, I had it in my hands.
Feeling very happy
