In a recent poll this Polish BR130 locomotive got a surprising amount of support for an overhaul. I had already tried to repair it in a livestream months ago to some degree of success. I decided to make a few changes including: -Hardwiring the two trucks together, adding a North American style coupler, adding a weight and some weathering to help hide actual damage. It's far from perfect but at least it runs half decent now.
My layout 12 years ago vs. present day. I've been asked several times over the years what my first layout looked like, it's the same one I've always had however things have evolved. Here is a comparison between May 2011 and now.
Currently making prototypes of the 1:87 Scale Forest Fair / Cincinnati Mills mall project. I've decided it will be set in 1989 when it was built by Australian developer George Herscu. The section I'll be recreating will be the east wing between the food court and amusement park. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_sCK...
Welcome aboard!
Here you'll usually find videos about: model train restorations - model train hauls - visiting train stores pretty much everywhere - visiting railway related artifacts - un-boxings and some mild rail fanning. I've been model railroading since 2006 and have been a train fan my whole life.
Thank You for visiting!
