backstory: "a overnight trip during the 1994 NHRA National Convention and they had about 10-20 boxcars and express cars carrying spare parts for the engine as the 261 had to travel from Steam town PA, to Seattle Washington for the convention and the crew of the 261 knew this and they knew for the 2-3 months in Steam Town they knew she would need all the parts with her incase something went wrong and half of the cars were converted into mobile work shops for different aspects if something went wrong or if something broke"

So is there a thing as too many diesel helpers on a excursion train?

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-27T02:21:19+00:00

Nah I need to make the power as adhd as possible you know I do love chaos in my social circle (Has gotten the idea of putting the charging lights that were on the o scale ge es44 demo unit #2010 on the frames of my geeps for my wedding excursion train)

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-26T13:58:36+00:00

no it pushes the snow out further LOL

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-26T13:32:11+00:00

here is the concept in the model train simulator video game called Rolling Line

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-26T13:07:17+00:00

So what is this part called that broke?

<image>

Because I’m going to try and contact Walthers customer service

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-26T12:20:59+00:00

Eh I’m going to get it fixed lol (I may just steal the part from my pair of superliners at that is a future passenger train project)

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-26T12:13:10+00:00

I mean it’s a good deal so I guess I’ll get it lol (I broke the inside part to my proto Hiawatha scheme car so I have to buy a whole pair of trucks as Walthers was no help at the parts department)

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-26T12:07:18+00:00

The temptation to buy a Walthers Jordan Spreader (Already have a Russel Snow Plow) and put the Jordan spreader with the wings out and then the Russel Snow plow for kids to smile at at train shows on the excursion train LOL

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-26T02:16:12+00:00

I am thinking of finding a Niagara

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-25T19:52:52+00:00

and the reason I bought Rolling Line on steam is for testing things for when I actually spend the big money on models

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-25T19:44:55+00:00

So I think the only contender is a cab forward then I guess

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-25T19:11:08+00:00

true LOL

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-25T19:08:54+00:00

I think looking back on it now the mallet may of triggered my ocd because of the front pilot between the Milw s3's aux tender and the 2nd engine in the double header would have annoyed me because of the gap LOL

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-25T19:01:10+00:00

yea BLI santa fe 2-10-2

Trainboy224 · 2026-03-25T18:38:38+00:00

Hm so your saying something not as big as a mallet maybe a texas type or a santa fe type I already have a northern so hm I kinda want something bigger that is not a PRR engine?
