And coupling is much improved. The cars feel great in your hand and the non-weighted ones feel soooo light now. Will be posting more on this in the coming weeks.<br /><br />Mike Mike McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902543654492633693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28621733.post-31076502934815131482014-07-13T08:48:14.363-04:002014-07-13T08:48:14.363-04:00How is the extra weight working, or have you had a...How is the extra weight working, or have you had a chance to operate that way yet?<br />Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950581716209236162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28621733.post-43815041732254960282014-07-01T18:06:16.145-04:002014-07-01T18:06:16.145-04:00Mike a good informative post, my whole layout is a...Mike a good informative post, my whole layout is a flat space since I pulled up all of the track and scenery last November. Working on a new design/idea but am taking a brake for the moment and building some ship models. I figured I needed a breather before I redesign for the 4th time.

Great to see you posting something to you...Hi Mike:<br />Great to see you posting something to your blog after a long hiatus. I like your comment about flat surfaces getting filled up with stuff - especially near doorways. I stuck a few trees into such a surface on my own layout very early on - just to make it impossible to stack stuff there. It worked - for the most part.<br />I look forward to following your progress between now and November. And I'll be interested to read more about your thoughts on heavier rolling stock.<br />Cheers!<br />- Trevor (Port Rowan in 1:64)<br /> http://themodelrailwayshow.com/cn1950sTrevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860331796911162859noreply@blogger.com
