@PghTrainFanatic - Thanks Nick! I guess, I mean when building it I wished we wouldn't have rushed to get it done. There are some things I would have done differently. I look at yours as a model for my next layout. Happy 2011 my friend!
Very nice locomotive. Does it play nice with the CW-80s on your layout? It almost looked like the locomotive sped up when you hit the whistle which makes me think you were driving it with a postwar transformer which would apply extra voltage to the track to compensate for the power lost to the whistle motor. With modern trains, that is not needed so the trains sometimes speed up when the whistle button is applied....
@pjmilazzo - It can run with the CW80. However, when making this video, I was running it with the MTH Z-1000. Someday, hopefully at the next train show, I'll be able to pick up a ZW.
Hey Max, That Pennsy steamer is great!!! And your layout never gets old watching the trains run on it! Happy belated 2011!
