Okay, I know this is a tinplate train, and I also know of the tinplate forum. But this runs on 3 rails, so I decided to post it here, so more folks could see it, and, hopefully appreciate it's beauty. Sure, 710 series passenger cars are not supposed to run with 263E's, but I like the combination. It is running Proto 3.0, but I run strictly conventional. It smokes enough to fill a room with smoke within a few minutes, and my wife will probably make me clean the dining room light fixture after running it there.
I currently don't have a layout, hence the temporary dining room table set up. The sounds are great, clear, and understandable. The passenger set is only three cars, two pullmans and one observation. I hunted and hunted, and was lucky enough to find another pullman.
When I finally get my layout built, I am thinking of running this one at the ceiling level. Time will tell. I have built and re-built my dream layout more times than I can remember, in my head. I will start very soon, and I am seriously considering using Mianne benchwork.
So, please don't get all up in my stuff about posting this on the wrong board, just enjoy it for it's beauty.
Thanks for looking in. Bob
Great Train, enjoy
. Man, I hope you don't scratch that table.
. I like the colors of the passenger cars and they look just right for the 263E engine!!!!
