I agree, it seems a bit slow, but it is nice for what it is.
There was a book published of all the recipes from the Fred Harvey Co. that were served on the SF. They are quite good. You can often find copies...
If you solder using tix flux, common in trackwork, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned. I have heard that windex gets the job done, but have not...
Sorry, I reviewed the OP and now realize it's not the reverser you are having trouble with it's the throwing the switch that puzzles you. Don't...
I know that many of you will not like my experience with this situation, and respond that it is technology deficient. I beg of you, don't list all...
Structural engineers have been designing fixes for cracked wing spars for many many years. Surely it wouldn't be that tough for a locomotive where...
Truth is, I built all of mine before there was a Fast Tracks jig, so I was forced to develop a process for using paper templates. Bus as my layout...
Another thing I did was build yard ladders with continuous rails wherever possible. So instead of building one and then three more and joining...
I made my own turnouts using paper templates of the TO. I think the fast tracks are good but way way too expensive. But using the paper...

It's your railroad, do it your way.
Don't be ridiculous. That's not what I said. For me, it was my first serious layout, after a small one to familiarize myself with various...
There were two people in the very midwestern town where I live, me and another modeler, sadly passed away, who generally stuck with original...
Perhaps a portion of one of the winding is open or shorted?
All sound acceptable, except th part about peeling it up to make changes. To me that just says, "I'm ok with shoddy planning."
There is noise, but so is there when a real train goes by. Don't understand the concern. And adhesive caulk is sloooooow to set. I have never...
Fortunately, I never owned one of these beasts, but I have owned a very few LL locos in the past. I can see from the new better lit photos what...
"I think it will allow for perfect track cuts without all the pinning and gluing." Based pm my experience, I can save you all the pinning, and...
The photo in int OP shows a clip that goes UNDER the coupler. The post that shows one on the back goes BEHIND the coupler. That's not the same.
In my experience and opinion, ME flex is ultimately the easiest to use. A lot of folks here complain that it is too hard to bend, dut do not cite...
