Wacky Lash-Ups Volume 1

Way back in the day, when TMCC was new and I only had 2 TMCC engines I would sometimes lash them together just for giggles.  The engines were a K Line C&O Allegheny steam engine and a traditional size Lionel Virginian rectifier.  They ran well together and usually elicited lots of comments from on lookers.

Looks like an bi product of covid 19 . That's OK Eric, we are all going crazy

I was doing okay but I completely lost it at the Triplex.  For some reason that running in reverse just caused me to burst out laughing.

Call it the cavalcade of trains!!!

Ha! It looks like a museum vacating it's premises in one swift deadhead move. Thanks for the grins Eric.

Getting board are we? 

Hilarious.

The only improvement would be both the ESE 4-4-0 and an ESE J3a 4-6-4 present, one at each end. Not that the Triplex should be removed. Who can't like that thing?

Getting ready to pull a 200 car train, 300 maybe from New York City to LA with no engine changes?

Can't wait to see what Vol. 2 is gonna look like.

LASHUP...

Rich, isn't it a 3rail manufacturers term? We just blindly follow their commands. 😂

Engines in a Lash Up.

Love the "locomotive consist".  Look closely at the 1.04 minute mark for the cat way in the background that made me laugh.

Hilarious Marty!

Bigger “lashups” require more rope.

Love it, Marty!  

Rich I was wondering if this thread would garner a response from you.  I think MArty E has followed your lead nicely.

Uh oh, I messed up big time! Sorry folks!

Official Correction: Lashup!

Thanks,

NO! Not “lashup.”

It’s properly called a “Multiple Unit Consist.”

MU?

Nope... not a "3rail manufactures term" at least in origin.

Actually the technical term is: “Fun”. 🤣

Really? Lionel uses "Lash-up" in their instructions.

Rich, let's just hope he doesn't run some "Trainmasters" in his "Lash-ups". Don
