The prototype doesn't go 'boing, boing, boing' back & forth once a second. That's why people refer to it as 'the slinky effect' .. because it...
He's asking $15,000. I read the $1500 number as a sly suggestion that they're worth a tenth of what he's asking.
Note that Peco switches have a snap action spring. Tortoise motors are normally used with switches without any springs, so you get a slow movement...
Forget what I just posted and have now deleted. I'm not too awake right now. Just move along, nothing to see here! Phil:tb-ooh:
No idea about the USA but folks who live in Melbourne, Australia could do something with those!
Mine runs very well. I have not even noticed the lack of an interior, though. They will not be simple to build as these are not coaches - they...
How about another run of the Zephyr plus some WP F units? There was only the one release. Try buying one of those sets, even on...
Do we get a tutorial? Or have I missed a thread? Nice job! Phil

Fantastic - exactly the information I was looking for! Thanks! This gives me a lot of leads for further investigation. Since I'm in Australia,...
How about a City of San Francisco with E2's on the point?
John / Ben - thanks for the info. 16th Street Station got some Santa Fe traffic (and they had a ferry slip & station north of the SP mole), and...
Did WP run any trains to the Oakland Mole in the 50's (I'm allowing a wide time-frame here .. 45 - 58) other than the CZ and the Zephyrette? If so...
What would be the appropriate era for this? Any specific prototype that was used? Thanks, Phil
