My Visit to the YVMRC

On Friday August 14, 2009 I got the chance to visit and run my train on the YVMRC layout. The members there have done a great job organizing this modular layout. It is featured in the "Trains Across America" video series from mtrails.

Jeremy told me to "bring a big one" - so I did. See if you can get an accurate count of the cars................

Nice vid you cant beat class 1 piggybacks. Can the "flashing freddy" be put on any car at the rear of the train or does it have to stay on the car you put it on?

[wesolint]

It's permanent. They're fairly fragile so it's better to leave it alone. I've connected a trainline to it too for more simulated realism. This brand is no longer available. Ring Engineering makes a nice one that is built into a truck (wheelset). You can mount it to any car you want but I wouldn't recommend swapping it around. It too is fragile. See my vid "Just Sittin" for a closer look at the type of fred featured here on another car. Also at the end of TAA part 19 I have 4 of them together.

Yeah I kinda figured fred would be fragile, Ive never had one seeing how I run C&EI and dad runs Chessie we've always had a caboose at the end. Anyway thanks for posting.
