Couldn't agree more. I'd sooner not have a loco, than an uncontrollable one. Looking forward to seeing what comes of your railway and zecar.Soar Valley Light wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 3:10 pm Achieving at least some sort of scale speed and 'controlability' is crucial to me gaining any sort of satisfaction from model railways of any scale or gauge. It will need to look right or I will get brassed off.
Incidentally, The original pair of Zecars I'd ordered from Kikkerland back in March 2020 never arrived, and after contacting them in August I'd still heard nothing. By November, I thought I'd make a last-ditch through the "contact us" page of their website. Not expecting a reply, I thought "dear this" then went to EvilBay, and bought another pair from someone else. Amazingly, a reply from Kikkerland was in my inbox the next day, and they promptly mailed out a replacement pair of Zecars free-of-charge - arriving from the US in a week, which was doubly impressive.
So, assuming the Evilbay pair actually arrive, (I'm a bit skeptical of this, as I've had several packages from the US go missing over 2020) my number of momentum wagons will in 2021, grow from one, to five! Assuming I can think of appropriate wagons in which to hide the Zecars.. So far, it's a tool wagon, a farmers' molasses tank wagon, and a small van from Swift16..
