It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today is about my latest Live Steam project, my raised layout. I picked this layout up from Florida over my Christmas Break on a whirlwind trip. We have been working on getting it installed since then and after some snow and bitter cold delays, it is finally usable! It needs some finishing work like trim but I did a test run with one of my battery locomotives and after that went well did my first Live Steam run which is what the layout was really designed for. The locomotive I am running is an Accucraft Forney that I purchased along with the track. It had some pretty bad scale buildup that took several vinegar soaks and some other soaks and rinses to get cleaned out but it seems to be running pretty well. I need to figure out the best settings for it but other than that it sounded good as it ran. It, like my other locomotives operates on Butane and water.
You can see a short video of the first run HERE.
QUite the set up. Must have been quite the set-up to haul back from Florida. I assume it is a gauge for which you can buy additional locomotives
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty nice, I am quite happy with it. It came apart way faster than we thought it would and stacked in the bed of our pickup without having to use a trailer which was nice for such a long drive. Yes, it is standard G Scale track so any G Scale locomotive will run on it. I have several yet to run on it. 😊
