Multiple views of the trains I set out for our open railroad on June 8, 2024, accompanied by my instrumental recording of "Wabash Cannonball."
A Chinese-made Lehmann Porter on the top layer pulls a string of HLW short gondolas.
On the middle layer, a Lionel Atlantic with an Aristocraft tender pulls an Aristocraft coach. I started with three coaches, but the track was so wet, the poor Atlantic was spinning its wheels in places.
On the bottom layer, an Aristocraft USRA heavy Pacific pulls a string of Aristocraft freights. I have pulled many more cars with that locomotive, but I was planning on running it for 7 hours straight, so I went conservative.
On the left end, an HLW rail truck circles the track. On the right end, an Eggliner.
