Weekend Photo Fun 1/26/18 HONGZ

Here is a new (to me) BLI C&O 2-10-4 T1. My first Paragon 3 locomotive that I operated on the club layout this week.

They have one of the Rolling Thunder sub-woofers in place that was my first experience with it. Hard to tell its full effect as there was a lot going on then that distracted us from exploring the feature...

Beautiful C&O engine Sam!!!

Received a couple Roundhouse Reefers and a 20' circle of stainless this week.  ATSF and the MoPac/ Wabash service. 

Reefers look pretty good with the MTH boxcar I got the previous week. Have 1 more MoPac Wabash Reefer shipping to me.  

Roof comparison.  I'm liking the MDC Reefers.  Correct doors doesn't hurt. MTH used the wrong era doors.

I got ants in my pants. Found a guy today with a brand new Z4000 for $300 locally so I booted up my Hudson tonight on the workbench.

Well, got up this morning and place of work was closed due to generator failure... good excuse to test everything out.  Set up a circle and took my Hudson on it's maiden voyage.  

Very nice video Jacob!!

Thanks Chessie!   

I'm getting a buzz noise when I turn on the smoke unit.  I added 45 drops of proto smoke as it says in the manual and tried it out but got nothing but the noise.  Thoughts?

Your welcome!!!

What kind of track do you have there?   It certainly looks better and more prototypical than the common brass with the wide spaced ties....

Sounds like your fan motor on your smoke unit needs cleaned with electric contact cleaner and oiled if that don't work my be bad motor.

Ok.  Guess I'll have to open it up.
