V&T Ore Car Project

Hmmm I wonder how that consist would look on a trestle … :thinking:

A couple early morning runs.

My first incident… I’m not yet sure how, but the brake gear on one car gut hung up on a switch’s throw bar cover.

Took about a half hour to fix.

Cliff;

Glad you could fix the brake gear so quickly. Switches can cause trouble at times. I split a faulty spring switch on the Dry Gulch RR once. Bumpiest ride I ever had! Took 4.5 hours to rerail our little locomotive.

Regards, David Meashey

After all this time I just want to congratulate you on the extremely fine work you’ve done on this project. Many kudos Cliff.

Thank you very much, Don. Much obliged!

Dave, that sounds scary!

I thought you had 6 loaded and 6 empties so you could run to the mine with the empties and return with the loads. [Then do a quick swap behind the backscene.]

Wonderful job Cliff. :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks, Pete!

Hmmm, that’s a great idea… :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Great now he will never finish … :wink:

He needs to do a loads in/empties out scene.

Agreed!

Along with a few other things including a daytime job!!

A V&T Historical Society buddy posted my “maiden voyage” video to the Society’s forum… so our Secretary (who has a lot of clout!) says she wants to see the cars get filled, and then go dump. I’m pretty sure her tongue was firmly lodged in her cheek… :sweat_smile:
