The train was a B&O Streamliner

Yikes

Yea, I’ve had that happen too. And had it caught on film…:wink:

Don’tcha hate when that happens :slight_smile: Almost made it all the way around!

That’s what happens when one pushes Bachmann flat cars with a camara on board.
I could have had a better coupling system.
I also changed the reverse curve by makeing it larger.
The original was too tight.

Matt;
Thats nice,
The one thing that always held me back was the lack of money.
When I purchased the B&O Streamliner, I used money that I have been saving for almost 10 years.
I didn’t even have money left to buy track.
Most of my track was what I rounded up at yard sales for almost nothing, .and public auction
I did get track just before the price went up, privet purchase and Evilbay.
I’m glad I got the track when I didn’t cause I can’t afford to buy it now.

What are you using for ballast? It looks good.

That wreck scene still scares me :o It looks like a real wreck the way the camera car derails and digs into the ground

The RH curve at 2:28 would throw the engineer and fireman right out of the cab at that speed. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I noticed that too John. Lol

I can answer the two questions first the ballast is crushes limestone called cracker dust.
And the second is the right hand turn yes it was bad.
I changed that to a 20 ft. radious track right turn very easy turn. Much better.
I also removed the sidding switch.
