Just felt like I needed to put in a plug for the great running locos that I used on the club modular display this past weekend.
The EM-1 (sound) was a great hit, ran smooth as silk, and I received some nice compliments throughout the day. Some of the old hats were chatting amongst themselves, wondering if this was a brass model or plastic.
The DCC onboard 0-6-0s, likewise, ran very well. I double-headed those and pulled a 17-car train for over an hour without a hitch.
Of course the Berk and Consolidations ran perfectly as well. Although, I did let a youngster/observer take the throttle. He proceeded to go crazy with the buttons, and somehow threw off the chuffs on my 2-8-4/Tsunami. Hope I can get a Sound guru to get the chuffs back in sinc.
Hats off to the Bachmann folks. You are responsible for me having a great deal of fun running trains out in public. Thanks for making a grown man feel giddy as a kid on Christmas.
Regards,
Jonathan
Jonathon: Sorry I missed saying Hi again. I was on kind of a tight schedule on Saturday and only really had time for one circuit around the show.
There's always April. See you next time. ;D
