Notch 8, dont be late!

I was able to bring down the PA's to the club tonight for their shakedown run. Quiet, smooth, powerful, everything you could ask for in a locomotive, all while pulling a nice sized passenger train.

The locomotive from my last post is now back together and ready for service, now with an added B unit!

Can't wait to bring them to the club for their test/shake down run.

A Key Imports Alco PA A and B set is now ready for service!

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · 18d

It is an Alco PA, very good!

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · 18d

It is HO scale, and it is a main line diesel electric locomotive.

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · 18d

1000%, more K4's needed.

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · 18d

I had to look up the first locomotive. XD

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · 18d

The newest locomotive project is underway!! Always like to fully tear down a locomotive to give it a full service. Bonus points if anyone can guess the locomotive!

A HO locomotive layed out in all its pieces.

Fire!

Usually, stuff disappears in that tunnel, I still have freight cars that haven't came out!

Some late night club nonsense.
Seeing if the Q2 can get around the tightest (flat) curve on the layout with @prrshepherd.bsky.social and @dagg3r-actual1-1.bsky.social

E units on freight?!? It's more common than you think! Figured I give these newly rebuilt E units a true break in run, pulling 40+ club cars that ride like the brakes are on.
They performed fantastic and are ready for service!

The milk car now has vents and more detailed doors.
Still need to add ice hatches to the corners.

NYC&HR milk car almost complete.

Usually, the L1s are one of the better ones. If you send it back to BLI, you'll be waiting forever.

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · Aug 12

What a project this BLI L1 ended up being. The previous owner decided to replace the bell and spilled superglue all over the boiler. I was able to sand it off and give it a small repaint. Then the gearbox chipped a tooth, sometimes you can't win with trains.

I was able to chip off most of the large bits of glue, then sanded down the boiler with 1000 grit sandpaper before respraying the boiler section.

Super glue was spilled all over the top of the boiler when the new bell was added. Even with a fresh fingerprint!

One of the idler gears chipped a tooth right off, which explains the rough running.

The only British loco I own in a sea of PRR. lmao.

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · Aug 4

Decided to have a chill day at the train club and run a local. It's always nice going at a slower pace once in a while.

What I say?!

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · May 4

Even with the esu programmer, it still sucks.

The 1995 Volvo 850, my first car I bought for under $1000 and drove it for years. It was a tank of a car, and I wish I still had it.

Forest Litz @prrshepherd.bsky.social · Apr 30

The great thing about model trains is you can't flim them or show them off, cause that's when they break!
