It runs well at home. It will even take switches at slow speeds. Hopefully
I’ll have a chance to run it on WamaLTC’s layout at
the Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium Md. this weekend. We’ll see
how it performs under show conditions then. • ...

As for another steam engine, well, you’d be doubly tickled to know that one
I’m thinking of starts with a “J”... but probably not for another few
months.

A Pennsy J class 2-10-4? Or maybe Norfolk & Western’s
Jawn Hennry?
Or how about a New York Central J class Hudson or N&W’s own streamlined
Jays?
Any of these would be awesome.

Wow! Now all you need is 150 coal cars (grin). Seriously though, that is
fantastic to see it run so well. It is an inspiration to see it moving like that
(and over the bumps between the tables... eek). Don’t show these movies to
COLTC, or they’ll never fix the track (grin some more).
I’m working towards an N&W J, but don’t tell anyone. I think I’ve figured out
how to do the nose and I have four ideas for the running gear and propulsion.
But I’ll have to find time to escape to the laboratory to do some experiments
(with new added bumps to the test track for good measure).
That’s an interesting Hudson in the background of your videos too. I went poking
around brickshelf some more and found
this link and then I
stumbled on to an interesting take on the GG1.
