kabel Posted June 18, 2016 Well this is my first try at doing anything train, hope you will be gentle and not too harsh on a complete train noob ... Anyway, I've actually started the tender, a coach and a freight wagon as well, but so far the locomotive is the most advanced at this stage. Evenetually she'll be part of a larger Western layout and I hope that with your constructive criticism this will become a decent looking first experiment. So here's a first pic of the engine: Coach: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murdoch17 Posted June 19, 2016 I don't think it will round curves that well.... i tried that Toy Story inspired wheel set with this train and it only went on straight track. if you fixed that issue, kudos to you, cause i have up and went with this type instead: this is more Emerald Night styled, and runs better on even rough-laid 12v track on carpet.

kabel Posted June 19, 2016 Thanks for the welcome here guys! Gald you like what I've put together so far. But as I've said before, this is my first try at a train, so feel free to take apart what you don't like! I don't think it will round curves that well.. Well, I'm using the 79111 connection between main body and frontrunner, so at a decent speed it does move through curves. However, I can't run it in 1st or 2nd gear and it also looses speed when I run it in higher gears. Wonder why that is ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome models by the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeldaTheSwordsman Posted September 3, 2016 Both the loco and the coach are looking pretty good. Have you thought about adding a clerestory to the coach? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
