SP passenger train PM and test run.
All the wheels were clean with no gung on them. These cars are by MTH and BLI.
Used an AC-5 for motive power.
This is the longest passenger train I have at 18 cars. Someone had a 'fire sale' on the cars and, at 40 or 50 bucks per articulated set, might as well buy lots of them!
Lead truck came off a couple times to I wrapped some solder around the axles. Hopefully, that works.
Cab roof comes off showing the nice interior detail.
Both MTH and BLI cars roll extremely well with very little resistance in the trucks.
Also, they have lots of detail. Here's the center section of an articulated set.
The soft diaphragms make for scale close couplings.
Interiors are painted, even with white head rest towels. Need some paying customers in there!
I have one 3 car articulated set which, I believe, is the diner.
Drum head lighted.
Had one bad coupler. Interesting how the pocket is made to accept Kadee couplers.
The cover just snaps on each side.
I had a few derailments so I'll have to run the test on the mainline, again.
I lied: I thought I had 14 passenger trains; forgot about the two GN passenger trains in the original passenger yard!
Saw this light rail car on the highway on a semi trailer.
