Hi Mark. Thanks for the view. Yes that's some train in O gauge even Pete Waterman would be pushed. I have now purchased all the Tesco containers so job done. See it on another video. You take care. Mick

Hi Mick, great video and you have a wonderful model railway. Regarding the long lenght of your trains yes they are very realistic but is there a danger that the weight of the trains are too much for the motors and they could burn out ?

@michaelsmith-hn1cn 2 жыл бұрын

Hi John. Good question. If the wheels slip I stop then double head or choose another loco. with the container train I have found I need to keep the wagons wheel oiled or it will start to slip and hope the motors are ok. All have coped so far. Thanks again. Mick

I have forgotten - don't remember you mentioning how many tracks are there and what is the total length for each line. Do the lines have double feeds to allow passing and storage of your long trains. Its good to know how many trains you can run at once and weather or not you mix them, passenger and freight at the same time. I did see a very long Pullman in a siding. Are you modelling an era or is the layout duilt for the trains you like best.

@michaelsmith-hn1cn 2 жыл бұрын

Hi George. I have 4 main running lines 2 in each direction which are 103 Ft in length . I can pass trains around in the platform area. I do have a storage pace in the platform area where I keep the Blue Pullmans so I don't have to keep taking them apart because I have already blown a sound decoder doing it. I do keep a couple of trains on the layout until I think they have been there long enough. I don't have room at the moment for a fiddle yard and yes I do mix freight and passenger some times. I don't model an era just run what I want. Thanks for the comment and hope I have answered all your questions. Take care. Mick
