  256 looks and runs great and the new trackage looks like it will definitely improve the engine facility and make it more fun to operate. I like that turnout push button with the two different colors so you know which way the turnout is thrown. Great job on the layout.

  Can you tell me more about the kadee power trucks you put in your new 0-8-0? I have one of those too and it has pickup issues.

• 
  @bessemerlakeerieinhoscale606116 күн бұрын

  Sure. Just remove the stock tucks (the chains come out by gently prying up the pin with an xacto) and putting the trucks in. Each truck grabs one rail. You'll need to drill a hole to pass the wire through and patch it in to the power from the harness. I'm also running a keep alive. yankeedabbler.com/products/590-kadee-bettendorf-aar-electrical-pickup-caboose-truck-ho-scale-part-380-590

  Stupid question Ray - what is the operational purpose of a transfer table? I can see a use for them in a tight space where you need to switch cars to other tracks without the space for leads and switches. Is that their primary use case or are there others?

• 
  @bessemerlakeerieinhoscale606120 күн бұрын

  @admiralseabass8993 not a stupid question. You're pretty much right on. It's a space saving way - and possibly cheaper than building a huge amount of turnouts. Typically you find them around shops where things get pulled into or out of various maintenence bays. At former GE Transportation (now wabtec) we had transfer tables both at the erie and ft worth plants. In a lot of ways they serve the same function as a turntable - but without the obvious ability to turn an engine around - which became a non issue in the diesel days. Linear buildings fit more places easier and are a more efficient use of space than roundhouses. Hope that helps.

  Running smooth as silk❗ Like the addition of the strengthening structure you built. It's unfortunate that the gear-mesh is very audible, but that is part of life's compromises - like selective compression; However, the audio of the loco(s) drown that out somewhat. All told it is a VERY impressive built 👍👍
