N&W Y6b Runnin'

[csxal]

Thank you. I have no problems running passenger cars or Lionel wheels including conventional engines on Scaletrax. The only time you may get a light flicker is when the pick up rollers are traveling over a switch, which happens on all brands of switches. Hope this helps.

I love how your track looks, I am in fact looking to build a permanent layout and even though I like the look of scaletrax I am afraid that the thiner center rail wont be provide a good connection for the passenger cars lights and they will turn on and off all around the track (which I hate), can you tell me in your experience if I am wrong? also can you run conventional Lionel cars on scaletrax without problems? in other words do the Lionel regular wheels run on scaletrax? Thank you

Who makes the engine house at 2:55?

[csxal]

IHC made the engine house. It is just like the one now offered by Atlas.

[Weiberts]

Do you work for Millhouse?

[csxal]

I own Millhouse

[Weiberts]

No way! That's too cool! Do you have a website?

[csxal]

Here is the website:

studiozphoto (dot) com / millhouse (dot) html

Youtube doesn't let you post a link, so I spelled it out.

Beutiful layout! Nice engine

[brownies64]

hay I don't model in o scale, so i was wondering with such a beautiful layout, with exquisite detail. Why the three rails instead of the much more realistic two rail, is there some advantage to using it?

[csxal]

Thank you for the kind comments. I use 3 rail track for several reasons. First is that I already had a lot of 3 rail engines to start off with, 2nd is that there is much more motive power to choose from in 3 rail than 2 rail and lastly operationally it is easier to wire up electrically plus the extra outside rail lets you use it for signal blocks etc.

Thanks.

Beautiful locomotive! Are you going to buy a vision line steamer?

[csxal]

No, I'm not modeling PRR or ATSF

[WaukarusaKid]

That's a great engine and one of my favorites. What a smoker! Al have you found a limit to the number of cars it will pull?

[csxal]

No not yet. I am going to see how many cars I can fit & pull on my 1st level of track. I'll post results.

[csxal]

It's not as close as it appears in the video I have plenty of clearance from that signal tower.

Regarding a flat car w/ cam setup, I plan to do some later on when more of the layout is finished. Thanks for the great comments.

[furryfurball1221]

came close to hitten that signal post

[SouthernRR4501]

Whew!! Came mighty close to hitting that signal bridge with the overhang on that beast!

[guslovintrains]

great scenes - how about a video cam on a flat behind the Y6b (what's layout size or track plan?)

[daylightguy]

there is one on display with 611 & 1218

last i heard

[SouthernRR4501]

This vid makes me wish the N&W saved a Y6b.
