Hi all,
I happen to shoot one of the first test's of my CN Super Continental passenger train today.
YouTube - CN Super Continental
YouTube - Super Continental
I say test's as I still have some homework to do on the diaphragm's. Different manufacturer's with different heights and tension can sometimes get bound up with tension and push the other car off the track's.
A friend of mine suggested using clear styrene shaped to the contour of the diaphragm to prevent them from picking each other's corner's when going over small dip's, corner's etc...
Anyone else have this sort of problem? Think Rapido cars need some exta weight.
For those that might be interested:
Have a look at the link's at the top and hope you enjoy.
Happy railroading all.:-D
