Autism/Asperger's Syndrome Awareness

The cars are a light tan color. I have LGB markers for it, they need a slot to slide into, then a small hole to feed the power wires thru.

Ah, sounds like a much less disruptive arrangement.

Here are, hopefully, a couple short videos of the Autism Express running on my freshly rehablitated garden railway. I also added seats that Lou sent to the coach and combine, here are the seats, plus some tables with food and a waiter serving them. I had the figures in my box of g scale stuff I have hung on to for years. Mike

Looks great, Mike!

I am so happy to see stuff going to good use that has been sitting “on the project siding” for a long time.

Very cool.mike

I was going to find another coach plus the observation, but with added weight of people in just one car, and I plan on people in the combine and observation, the 4-4-0 slips just a touch when the train traverses the S curve thru the tunnel. SO, I will just hunt down the observation car and use the other Autism Express lettering on the caboose. It does look a tad plain with just the MCRR hearld on it. Or maybe just a road number. I will have to think about it. I want to light up the marker lights as well on it. The MCRR 4-4-0 has almost 7 hours or combined run time on one charge. Ran her 3 hours on night indoors and close to 4 on the garden railway yesterday, still running and just starting to slow down. Took 45 min to recharge the black DRGW 4-4-0’s battery as it did go flat. Hadn’t run it for almost a week and Nimh batteries will self discharge when left unused. Mike
