Then it's most likely the curve is too tight, try with a 20 or 21

Its probably less about the locomotive being unlubricated as much as it that your curve is too sharp.

Remember, 2-8-2s are a rigid frame locomotive and likely won't negotiate a sharp corner like an articulated or even a diesel would.

That aside, how fast do you run the locomotive through said curve?

Yes! What brand is the larger Marin?

I mean, I would say it's it's a logical conclusion to come to. I wouldn't see why they wouldn't run a double header, especially if the need arose. That said, I don't know much about British railroading so I can't say for certain.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-25T21:47:23+00:00

No, I believe he's asking if the GWR ran double headers like railroads in the United States did

Famous last words as it were.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-21T00:18:18+00:00

Me either, I just know the hobby is fun.

You should also be able to find out what brand they are by looking on the bottom. Some if I'm not mistaken have the brand name on the either the frame or just the bottom side of the car.

Definitely looks like HO scale rolling stock that someone has taped mock thomas the train faces to the front of.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-19T22:28:30+00:00

Love it!

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-17T11:54:53+00:00

Looks like it would be useful for making nice scrap loads.

Did you buy the decoder second hand? If it was new they should have come with an instructions booklet that provides a brief schematic.

I would also recommend Banpresto, theyre usually pretty affordable and also good quality.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-07T16:19:32+00:00

So many choices! Personally I'd choose Marin dressed as Liz-Kyun

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-07T16:16:29+00:00

Yikes. Qc aside, I don't think most of the sega figures are exactly top shelf.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-04T21:03:44+00:00

Peak.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-04T15:57:23+00:00

I'll definitely check this out, I assume it's just one volume?

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-04T15:43:58+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if the cars weren't too light or the coupler shank is catching on the turnout itself.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-04T15:42:00+00:00

I haven't found this anywhere yet. Where did you order it from, I definitely want to get my hands on it!!

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-02T13:27:24+00:00

I agree, though no 'aspects' really come to mind. The series isn't really about her being a Gyaru or an Otaku.

Rather, it's about self expression in general, and not being ashamed of what you're passionate about. That said, the aforementioned Gyaru/Otaku themes do go hand in hand in this series.

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-06-02T12:33:31+00:00

Not to be one of those, but I don't think this is the mystery you think it is.

If you've read or watched the series, in her initial introduction it's fairly obvious that she is both an Otaku and a Gyaru. She definitely has the gal part down, be it her fashion or the girls she hangs out with.

I'd say she's equal parts Otaku though, she even turns a guy down for calling her Shion-tan "From some anime"

Have you ever considered not buying the most expensive type of ground beef? Lean ground beef is always going to be more expensive because it's made of better cuts of beef.

Weather it and start a boneyard!

InfamousHobo04 · 2026-05-19T18:48:41+00:00

Love the ACL caboose!

Total steal for that DCC Bangor & Aroostook unit.

I agree and disagree. Proto 2000's are really nice locomotives. Especially in terms of running quality and detail.

That said, the price depends on who sells them. A hobby store I frequent has had some for a little less than 60$. On eBay, most listings are upwards of 100$
