Model Railroading > CPR sacrilege? Hudson on freightDate: 10/29/24 09:15 CPR sacrilege? Hudson on freight Author: sarailfan I recently received my pair of Hudsons from Rapido Trains. Following the break-in run I set up a 15 car freight at the Southern Alberta Model Railway Club, and put the 2810 to work. It's in the as-delivered basic black; the traction tires make a world of difference in performance.
For bonus points, how many of the freight cars are also Rapido products? Darren Boes Lethbridge, AB Southern Alberta Railfan You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

2x X3 tanks 2x USRA single-sheath clones 2x NP 100000s 1x gondola Nice to see so much Rapido in service, and I'm glad you like the engine! -Jason Date: 10/29/24 17:52 Re: CPR sacrilege? Hudson on freight Author: sarailfan rapidotrains Wrote:

Boejoe is correct as well, that's a Roundhouse caboose on the markers. The boxcar ahead of it is an Accurail product, the other 2 tanks are Tichy kits, and the hoppers are from Bowser and Athearn. The Hudsons can use a touch of extra weight on the pilot truck, and a bit on the front end. There's a couple of vertical curves on the club layout where the lead driver likes to climb the railhead in the curve, balancing the weight forward a touch should solve that.

The line above is a continuation of the lower line. The layout is a 1970s design with lots of looping for elevation changes, there's a coal mine at the top of the hill served by a tight branchline. There's a prairie town at the far end of the layout, and the most recent addition is a port terminal city. The Southern Alberta Model Railway Club has been here since 1972, anyone coming through Lethbridge is welcome to stop by Tuesday nights between September and May/June. We also have open houses twice a year in March and October. Darren Boes Lethbridge, AB Southern Alberta Railfan Date: 10/31/24 08:13 Re: CPR sacrilege?

The 2 NP boxcars and the black gondola. Edit: I didn't see Jason's reply before I posted. Posted from Android Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/31/24 08:16 by cnr6776. |
