Quick Vid

A Quick Vid of my N-scale Loop and a few trains..

Carriages are mixed Cargo by Roundhouse mostly.

The Trains featured are..

1. Model Power Metal Body F7.
I find this train to be noisey but an excellent puller.. smooth all the way.

2. Bachmann Spectrum Dash-8-40CW.
Its a Noisey 12 Wheeled unit... Handles my track just... Its not very quick but it is smooth.. scale speeds are nicely achieved.

3. Life Like GP-38.
What can I say... its a Bargain basement train but is entertaining to watch when pulling around.. It has broken down on me 3 times due to wiring problems... Its Not smooth on start ups but does pull smoothly once the desired speed is achieved.

4.Fleischmann ICE 2.
What can I say but.. Its Sex on rails.
This train is silky smooth... It is also... FAST.
I originally started with this train in a Starter set which had 1 Carriage and a dummy end.. I then bought the dinning car at some considerable expense.
I hope to, in time get some Catenary set up for that authentic look.

 

Nice! Love the ICE!
Thanks for sharing.

 

The ICE is nice, but I have always preferred the Shinkansen 400. Now THAT'S sex on rails!! :tb-wink:

 

I have the 6 Car Series 500 by Kato aswell..
Now it really is one sweet looking train...

 

I've always thought the ICE like very much like the Japanese train the 855 Kamome White Seagull.

 

Nice vid. Perhaps some superelevation on the curves? Jim

 

Thanks Jim... I am not sure If I will go the Elevated corners.. I know everyone is recommending it but I simply cannot afford it at this stage...
