Train Mountain Triennial

My train on the tracks.

















Steam Engines















Diesel Locomotives










Here are a bunch of random freight cars.





















Some cars are for function. The fist is a sweeper and the second is a snowplow.

Initial Testing

Initial testing of my locomotive went well I did not find any major issues. I was very happy with the results. The current draw with 6 cars was about 25 amps on the hills and about 5-10 amps on the flats. I got it to hit 55 amps when I cranked it up when climbing a hill. Oh and it goes pretty fast.




Yes it did derail once, but it was due to a rock not the locomotive.


6 cars and some people to load it down and see how it does.














My first job. Take the parts to the car.

Switching the cars and backing them into the shed.
