I haven’t held a train race at dusk in a long time so thought it was due. I put 5 small locos on the track which is powered with a train engineer and let them go. Some are faster than the others so I had to be quick and send them up the mountain to buy time to allow the faster to pass or to hold it up.
Great fun and when it gets really dark it is neat to see the headlights shining like giant speeding fire flies darting about the backyard.
When you have some time to waste.
That was fun, Thanks Todd.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Love it!
Reminds me of 24hrs at LeMans
That had me strangely mesmerised. Great fun. That “Cobra” Mack driver sure knows how to draft. Reckon he was running illegal super soft motor brushes. Next stop Talladega ? Max
WaHoo! Good fun.
Reminded me of fire flies!
Nice!
Thanks Todd.
Thanks guys. They do look like fireflies. This time there were no accidents except when the CobraMack spun out on a tight curve but that scene ended up on the cutting room floor. It is very easy to lose track of the engines and in the past there have been derailments or stalled engines and another has come up behind it causing terrific damage.
Racing is dangerous business.
