Default New blood on the old traction L/O
As I have been hinting I have rewired the basics to alow new blood to earn revenue on the traction right of way.
here are a few shots of the "intruders".

It all runs very well although I have to ensure good switch connections on the throws now. Never had to bother with just overhead

Those look great Interurban.

One question for you. In the next to last picture it looks like the Diesel is leaning really close to the Traction unit and the next shot the boxcar seems to be leaning.

Is that just the camra playing tricks or is the track there a little lopsided?

Those models look great. Don't worry though. After a while those diesel guys will get tired of thier hair standing on end running under all those wires

Thanks Chessie.
I think the track lifted a while back, gives them the old rock and roll that you see on the real thing.
I `ll have to ceck it of with the MOW boys.

Didnt mean to nitpick you or anything. I was just wondering if you noticed that or not. Didn't want all your wonderful models derailing and having to go to the repair shop was all.

You layout just amazes me with all the detail it has and the overhead and track being live just blows my mind as to how you do things.

If I know Chris, the diesels are a temporary thing, just waiting for him to find some coaches to bash and use the mechys for power

Unfortunartely this is as close as my layout will be able to come to having traction on it due to the setting of a small rural town and all.

Small town? Then why is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the background?
