I just looked through my snail mail from today and found that part I've been waiting for to complete my latest project has come in. That's to have two Proto 2000 locos driven by one decoder. The locos have already been rewired to pick up track power as a sixteen wheel unit and send it to the decoder which will be in the A unit (FA-1 chassis with a FT-A shell in this case) and the decoder will power the motors of the A and B units. The B unit is a FB-1 chassis with a F7-B shell. The stall tests say this should work.

Here is a little Suprise for you all. I just picked this one up. I would be sharing the SF 3751 as well but it has not arrived yet.

Here for you is the 844

Athearn, I assume, Don? It's one fine looking piece of equipment. I don't think it would like my 22" curves though.

 

[Boilerbuster]

I am running it on 15 inch but its a little stiff in the curves. According to the book it will do just fine on 22 but that is supposed to be the min for it. I do have some 22 inch curves on the way By the way it is Athearn

I guess since it's still Thursday, I'll go ahead and post my current progress picture of my layout. I'll be gone for the next six days, down in Florida with family, and headin up to Atmore/Flomaton Alabama for railfanning too!

Anywho, starting putting in a grade crossing, more sceniced area, along with a drainage ditch and whatnot - a little CSX freight set up for the photo shoot, passing a lone grain hopper on the siding.
