Another little video. This time amongst others the first outing for an Accucraft CP Royal Hudson squeezing through platforms and dwarfing the rolling stock.

Very nice. I really liked the speed of the passenger trains and the very nice paced shots. Thanks for posting.

Thanks tom
You learn a bit every time you make one of these little videos.

Why is it going backwards?
The CPR did have turntables, y’know, even if it was only one at each end of the line…

AccuCraft Royal Hudson #41
Hi Tac
Due to a slightly tight corner it didn’t like going forwards but was fine backwards. Have eased the tender bogie slightly and that seems to hae cures the problem. Ran it at Adams Saturday afternoon in forwards but still needed a mk1 as it had a kadee at one end to couple up. Do you know anything about the possible arrival of the Accucraft Canadian Pacific passenger cars?

North American rolling stock of all kinds tend to have knuckle couplers since their very inception at the turn of the last century, so finding KaDees on a model of a Canadian loco should have come as no real surprise. Much as I like to see ANY CPR loco running [and G*d knows there is a distinct shortage of them in Gauge 1], I have to opine that hauling those teeny cars around looks faintly barmy. Had nobdoy at Adam’s [Houghton?] got anything a little more like the real thing to haul - the way I get to use a nice long train of NYC cars belonging to other modellers of a like-mind to my own. Mind you, from what I’ve seen of the stuff running there, the appearance of a nice moderately-sized passenger loco instead of the steam-powered mice that usually zip around that track must have caused some there to reach for the smelling salts…I just hope that it wasn’t too upsetting. You WILL have to be careful when our AccuCraft coaches arrive, bacause although they are that nice comforing shade of maroon, they are at least half as big again as the British Mk1 [?] cars/coaches that seem to be appearing like daisies on a lawn.
As for the possible arrival of those CPR cars, Bill the new person over at AccuCraft advised me a couple of weeks back, when I talked to him about them, that September is looking good.
However, as ever this with AccuCraft, and bearing in mind that every year has one such month, he neglected to mention exactly to which September he was referring.
