Lionel Conventional Classics on the Ocean County O Gauge Layout

[bradstrains]

About how much does the Burlington Gp7 weigh in?

[bradstrains]

are the pilots and fuel tank on that Burlington gp-7 metal? How well does it pull and can it make it up a that ramp with those 5 cars behind it?

[lorimersnd]

@bradstrains - The pilots are metal, not sure about the fuel tank. It pulls great, no problems at all with it. I think it could make it up the hill w/ the 5 coaches.

[bradstrains]

@lorimersnd That's good I'm getting that set and I wanted to make sure if I added some cars it could still pull them.

Very nice big fun action layout.

[bradstrains]

How fast can you get that gp-7 Burlington set to go?

[Amtrak1194]

is that first steam loco a tank or does it's tender just look that way?

[lorimersnd]

@Amtrak1194 - it is a 4-6-0T Tank engine - K line made it

Beautiful club pike. Nice to be able to see the trains really stretch out. Would like to see a few overall shots of the layout to get a better idea of it's size.

Wow! Now that is a layout!

[NewHaven358]

I absolutely love this. Your photography and editing are great.

Thanks for uploading a "steam classic." It looks like pellet smoke, no?

[lorimersnd]

Thank you! It looks like an original 2056, but it's liquid smoke & electronic whistle

[pensyturbine]

@lorimersnd yea i have a 2 postwar steam trains one is a 2-8-4 hudson (pensy) liquid smoke and the others a 2-6-2 ? steam train pellet smoke and i can't tell the difference

Boy would I love to have that layout in MY basement! If I had a basement big enough that is. How about making a cab ride video?

[lorimersnd]

a cab ride video sounds like a good idea. I think I will give it a try next time I head down there
