I will attempt to attach a picture of the coal tipple I am working on for Tori Morgan to put on her C&O route she is building. I have left it up to her when to release it, but it will be available sooner or later. I still need to add the hoist house and loading mechanism for filling the tipple.

Stunning work. I only got to drive it about 10 minutes giving her a once over while getting her up to speed. Impressive! Can't wait to kill my PC piling on rolling stock to test her might.

Thanks sly!

I was surprised with the smoke. From what I saw I thought it would be curving back and dowm right at the camera killing frame rates. It misses the camera entirely! Perfect.

Oh and it keeps hitting tunnels, bridges and platforms on IOW.

See my previous post (and on the "other place" and Sly's reply. We can not have too many steam assets. Definately WANT

Is it just me and bad driving, or bad physics? The Big Boys were supposed to be able to maintain 60mph over passes and had a top speed of 80mph. The IHH Big Boy I can't even maintain 40mph. 30-35mph is about average of what I can maintain, with, or without a load behind it. With or without auto fireman. The Challenger on the other hand I had no problems averaging 60-65mph.

[buzz456]

As I post I have the beast at 65 and accelerating no load. There be some mystery here.

Answer: C - None of the above. Idiot me set the front frames as a dead locomotive.
