Started with my 2046 Hudson, and a tmcc metal tender, 2 auto-milkcars, 2 evans autoloaders with 3 diecast autos each, log car loaded, broadway limited passenger car, O-NYC stock, Jessie James, bronx giraffe, nyc gon., Burlington gon, Sunoco 2 dome tanker, Lionel 1 dome tanker, Great Northern, Baby Ruth, and Wheaties boxcars, followed by a 2257 caboose. 16 cars at 12volt
Then I answered the phone. When I did, I had a coupler open up between the 2 gondolas! The Hudson, accelerating, made the graded hill, then 0-27 turns on just
7 wheels , completed the 12x11 square loop and proceeded to plow into the rear of the caboose, de-railing every car at rest ahead of it. Plowing through accordion-ed cars, sending the Burlington gondola, and the passenger car hurling over the ceiling shelf layout "cliff" 9.5 feet down to the floor. Cleared the track of cars till only one remained(Jessie James). WOW! My worst wreck ever. All is well with the fallen cars, not a scratch. And the loco didn't even blink.
The call? My contact for a G guage Lionel Goldrush porter, and I just bought it. I celebrated my new purchase by re-railing and loading more cars. Now with a total of 24 pieces of PW rolling stock behind the Hudson, filled her full of Pat,s P&P vanilla smoke fluid, and began smoking up the room.
Life is pretty good sometimes, eh?
