Layout rearrangement.

With engines moved to the new cabinet I now had room to move some of the DCC engines off the Seattle's incoming tracks.

Now only 1 of the 3 incoming tracks have engines on them.

One table got organized by railroad...

GNRW 39

and the previously vacant table, also got engines by railroad.

Ross club Tuesday night meeting.

Videos:

Most of the freight cars are vintage metal Athearn/Varney and wood  Silver Streak/Ambroid kits.

Before the club arrived I ran a GN O-1 2-8-2 on the layout.

Obtained this last year as someone did a very nice job of painting it.

They installed a decoder (no sound) in the engine boiler.

New delivery.

GN, UP GE #1 diesel steam turbine 2-C + C-2 imported by Alco.

Been wanting one of these for a long time as they don't 'show up' very often.

Couldn't find when it was made but guessing in the 80's.

GE only made 2 of them in the late 30's.  Tested by UP and then GN operated for a short period.

History:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..._turbine_locomotives

Up had yellow/brown and GN had all black.

I plan on painted it in UP colors.

Video: yard test:

YUP, I'm the first to unwrap this engine.

Amazing that someone bought it but never 'opened it'!

Been sitting in the box for about 38 years!

GN, UP GE steam turbine updates:

Video:

Discovered that the roof fans and side vents move.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dkSLfGPqH8

Would be cool to motorize them!

A motor with a fan on it may work!

As trainmaster previously mentioned, the water is recycled.

The only difference that I see on the GN versus the UP is

GN has no raised silver strip along the sides.

GN, UP GE #1 2+C-C+2 diesel steam turbine Alco 32

Side vents move 'fore and aft'.

GN, UP GE #1 2+C-C+2 diesel steam turbine Alco 33

Have to drill out those dimples for lights.

GN, UP GE #1 2+C-C+2 diesel steam turbine Alco 34

A light goes in that big hole.

GN, UP GE #1 2+C-C+2 diesel steam turbine Alco 35

More lights on each side.

GN, UP GE #1 2+C-C+2 diesel steam turbine Alco 36

Just noticed more detail in the cockpit with the 'console controls'.

GN, UP GE #1 2+C-C+2 diesel steam turbine Alco 37

That large silver plate on each side of the nose is suppose to be lighted but that 'ain't happening'; beyond my 'skill set'.

Frank brought 'stuff' to the meeting to be sold.

I bought my 'share', mainly because these were owned by Allen McClelland.

These are all vintage metal, mostly Athearn, Varney, etc., freight cars.

Allen McClelland's cars 01

Some had original boxes.

Allen McClelland's cars 03

All metal superstructure with wood bases.

I really didn't 'need' them as I already have 7 trays of vintage metal and wood freight cars,

not counting the couple hundred, or so, that are, currently, on the layout,

and there is no room on the layout for them,

BUT, since Allen owned them, I figure I'll put them on a separate shelf for display purposes.

3 trays.

Allen McClelland's cars 25

4 more trays.

Allen McClelland's cars 26

Plus a few kits!!!

Allen McClelland's cars 27

This morning I was running one of the passenger trains on the layout to 'reverse the cars'

and the train shorted at a turnout in the laundry room.

GNRW 41

Turns out one of the 'switch point throw ties' broke so I had to make a new one,

drill and tap for screws, etc.

The old one ONLY lasted about 51 years; going back 3 layouts.

GNRW 42

All better!

GNRW 43

My 'stash' of 'stuff' needed to maintain the layout!

Visit to Bob's Southern railroad.       

Miles: 4

He held a clinic on building structures.

Afterword we saw his new layout since he moved a few years ago.

Needless to say Bob is the Michael Angelo of railroaders.

His amount of detail is unmatched in the 'railroad kingdom'!

videos:

Bob's first layout:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSEnFeVrblc

Bob's new layout, which fortunately, is only a few miles from me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpr8V59dEQ4

Buildings that you are seeing are mostly 'scratch build' and there are hundreds of them.

As Ralphy in 'Christmas story' comment: a true master.

It's always like a little treasure hunt finding all the named buildings & businesses.  Nice to see Bales Machine & Tool still there. Did you notice if Dad's businesses are on the new layout?

Pam,

I took pictures of just about every building but there there was a large group of buildings on the layout that hadn't been 'located' yet on the layout plus there were a dozen more, or so, in 2 other locations plus Bob said he has given away a lot of them since his new layout isn't as large as his old layout.  He also had some sitting on end tables.

Thanks Sam! I have photos from before he moved, when he was open after the July 2018 Div. 7 meeting. Dad kept calling me over to "take a picture of this", "I need you to get me a picture of this building over here, and that one up on the top over there", etc. I even found a rare photo of that Sam Parfitt guy at a layout visit ;-)

Some PM.

One of the turnout linkages needed re-soldering.

GNRW 47

Traction tire put 'back on'.  Put a little 'canopy glue' along the edges to help secure it.

GNRW 48

Lucked out: Noticed the other side's valve gear was loose plus the 'pin' to secure it was on the bench!

GNRW 49

Some 'canopy glue' to secure the pin (will dry clear).

GNRW 50

Using the UP DD40AX to reverse some passenger cars and some roadbed needed adjusting where 2 different 'sub roadbeds' join.

GNRW 51

Some problems with the front LED of the Digitrax throttles coming on indicating a loss of communications so I bought some new rechargeable batteries.

GNRW 52

Just one observation car was not indicating it was in a block so I added an extra resister.

GNRW 53

That didn't work so I adjusted the 'pot' to be more 'sensitive' to the lighted car....

GNRW 54

that 'worked' at the block now shows red as occupied.

GNRW staging setup.

Video:

Caboose ride along the mainline.

Updated since new conifers were 'planted' and functioning signaling system installed about 4 years ago as the signals changed from green to red as the train passes the signals. All the 'ugly' interiors of the mountains are present so a 'skip' can be done on those. The video is long at 23 minutes as the train travels about 950' which is longer than 3 football fields!

The layout is now 45 years old.
