Accucraft Live Steam F5 at RIT

This is the F5 in action at the 4th Annual Tiger Tracks Train Show at RIT running on Tom's layout. Thanks to Paul for taking the video and to Anthony for running the engine.

And Im sure you are all wondering why it ran in reverse all weekend. Well Accucraft calls for 10ft radius curves, and the layout this was running on had 6.5ft radius curves. The front driver kept popping off the track in forward, but it ran smooth in reverse so thats how we ran it. Still amazing that a loco with 10 flanged drivers managed to negotiate those curves.
