Part 3 of making a Broadway Limited Imports Pennsylvania RR 2-10-0 drive adapt into a new drive for my Brass Nickel Plate Products B&LE 2-10-4. 3D printed parts are mostly done - shell has been mocked up - TCS WOW sound installed with a Tang Band T1-1931S speaker.

2-10-4 project part 2

I start what amounts to a heavy kit bashing project on my Nickel Plate Products B&LE 2-10-4's. 3D printing, CAD work, reverse engineering, babbling, this vid has it all. Disclaimer, not for the faint of heart.

Track is laid into Girard and Wallace Jct! Dispatchers desk taking shape, tunnel motor trio, new LED lighting, powered switches at KO and more!

Update for the Bessemer & Lake Erie in HO scale for 12/4/24. We've got cinders and ballast in the engine terminal, TCS wow installed in a SW7 custom painted switcher by Bessemer Mike, a TCS install in a SD40T-3 with WOW sound and Scale Sound speakers. Some additional benchwork, we build a plastruct bridge and OH MY THE SNOW!!!!! Time to build trains!

About Chairs, contact "Bessemer Mike" on Facebook (preferred) or Bessemermike86@outlook.com. In this episode we see a nearly completed engine terminal, take a look at the control panels, move some engines around the terminal, and take a look at some sweet Rapido U25B's.

This update I cover update to the engine terminal overall, additional structures and track built - then we run a monster 100 car hopper train to celebrate 2000 subscribers to the channel. Spoiler alert - it didn't run without issues!

In this update I chronicle building my 12 stall diesel shop using the walthers kits. This wasn't a difficult kit, but it tried my patience right to the end. There are SO MANY pieces, and the tooling wasn't well though out and left every single tiny piece in need of cleanup work just to be functional. It's a good product, I'd recommend it, but not a quick weekend build!

ABA athearn F7 set with TCS wow sound climbs my helix with a 50 car hopper train in tow. I'm looking for first failure modes and how much margin I have on my more standard size trains.

A few updates, then an overview of the layout and future vision. Updates feature Division Point Pacific #904 on a passenger train with TCS Wow Sound, a tribute to "DAYLIGHT DAVE!" - more brass cabooses - MARX toys cabooses, and a sneak peak at my walthers diesel shop. Buckle up, this is a long one.

Caught the southbound ore train coming out of conneaut at the 'hog back' - then again at the former location of the Albion PA depot. Lots of limestone on the head end of this one. Some good "Bessemer" logos, SD70M's pushing and pulling. Nice day to be outside!

Layout update for 7/7/24. 0-8-0 #256 is a Proto 2000 model I re-lettered and added LED lights and TCS V4 sound to with Scale Sound System Speakers. We take a look at new trackage in the diesel servicing area including ready tracks, fuel delivery tracks, along with a misc set out track. A neat turnout control button I first saw on Peter Lee's channel, link below along with the button. www.youtub...

Build and installation of the Walthers Transfer table on my HO scale Bessemer & Lake Erie RR.

90's era Bessemer train, running through new fast tracks number 8 switch crossover at Butler. Bessemer & Lake Erie 2-10-2 #522 with TCS WOW sound goes into the new servicing track at the roundhouse. 0-8-0 #253 works the steam servicing tracks.
