A train as long as our bridge

Post by dewintondave » Sun May 27, 2012 10:08 am

I was doing some more steam trials today and added three extra vehicles to the end of our usual train.  I found that the train was as long as the removable bridge, which is about 2.6 metres.  The track is just about level here.  

These LGB trucks have been converted to chain couplings.  I've found they run better, and it helps in starting a heavy train.

Best wishes,
