Part 2, just for you…
Love that youngster’s enthusiasm! I’ll bet they have to drag him out of there when the operating session’s over.
Fife, I’ll be they have to drag YOU out of there as well!
Flint I heard Fife was going to install two beds under the layout
Fife he’s going to be a narator for some type of train show when he gets older on the History channel
Great video
Layout looks great !!
Like the C & O Allegheny, nice !
Fife - looking great! Your ‘museum’ has a great docent!
Did ya number the Allegheny 1309?
I’d imagine it’d be a great temptaion to re-number an Allegheny “1309”, but the REAL 1309 is a 2-6-6-2. An Allegheny’s a 2-6-6-6, with a different profile.
Still, if someone wanted to do some serious “chopping and channeling…”
That “someone” would have to have more nerve than I do!
Hey, I had to replace a blown board on an MTH Y6b, and when I took the shell off and saw that rats-nest of wires I almost fainted!
Turns out it wasn’t too bad, but that’s another story.
The Allegheny (1600-class) was some 25 ft longer, and nearly 400K heavier, than the Mallet (1300-class). I ain’t choppin’ nothin’. The grandson absolutely loves running that big brute. He also loves all the mechanical workings on the layout, and is curious as to how they operate. We might tackle a building kit next time he visits.
