Train Day!
w/Rob Fair 6-8pm 2 hours
Jordan Osborn 6:15-7:15pm 1 hr.
 |
| Peace out! Let's get started! |
 |
| Tucking in the wires and taping down the lights for a test run to see where the lights end up. |
 |
| Another view. |
 |
| Once we put the shell back on we tested the lights and found they needed to be set up higher into the shell. |
 |
| We also wanted to add the fireman to the other side of the locomotive. Here Rob is filing down the frame where we'll use glue to keep him in place. |
 |
| Here's our solution to raising the lights up a bit so they will shine into the headlights (this picture)... |
 |
| ...and the rear lights (this picture). Both ends had to be adjusted. |
 |

Running Sequence Train 14 the Intermodal with much difficulty
 |
| I had problems with the containers tipping over on the inside curve so I took the top layer off |
 |
| I ran this train one lap at a very slow speed. I still need to figure out why the trucks derail at certain locations. No consistencies yet determined. |
 |
| I was only going to spend 30 minutes running this train, but I ended up spending a whole hour having fun. |
