Slow down on the tight curves unless you want your plastic passengers to enter low earth orbit! 5 scale MPH max going around street corners.

I noticed it runs with overhead wire how did you wire it for overhead wire operation? and did you ever see midwest traction modeler? I tried to watch it on youtube but no luck I wonder if he is still modeling he aquired Bill Gaeman o'dell traction module I wish I made a module and how do you protect the overhead from breaking off or is it removeable?
@animetrainman3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. I did wire it to operate DC power on the overhead. I did watch Midwest Traction Modeler's videos to train me on how to wire overhead. At first I practiced it by slowly repairing the overhead on these old modules, and then later building my own new modules and there extensive overhead. The overhead doesn't come off. I just use boards to stack the modules on top of each other during transport.
I’d love to model something like this. How do you get the stopped car to move ahead before the car coming up behind runs into it? I noticed that the distance between them isn’t always constant.
@animetrainman3 ай бұрын
It's not a great system. I'm still learning new methods in automatic block control. I just have one wire in the track that powers the stopped car when car #2 runs over a small section of rail.

I have been searching for a good video on how to hang overhead wire especially step by step instructions on locating turnouts hangers over a switch turnouts. Can you do a video on how you do it? A real show and tell is greatly needed.

Does the trains get electricity from the wire or do you want the option, that something can use the tracks, that in real life woud run on Diesel fuel?

Interesting mix of prototypes,as the track layouts,are straight Boston,but the cars are San Francisco! For those track layouts,get the Boston Street Railway Association bulletins,23 and 25,as there are excellent track diagrams,and even the Subway is shown,in many permutations! Having a streetcar subway model,would make people really think,and an elevated,ala Baltimore,or Kansas City,would hopefully bring in the spectators! And the nice part,all would be prototype! Oh yes,having MU equipped cars,in 3,or 4 car trains, should stir the juices! Model Railroader had a book of Traction Models,of various sizes,and one was a combination of Chicago,Boston,and other points,using some interesting combination of names! Anyway,for a small layout,really well done! I did notice the 50 ton steeple cab,and having a freight dodging the passenger schedules would add flavor to the mix! Shades of the CNS&M,and CA&E, neat! Thank you 😇 😊!

I envy you guys having all that fun running your😢 traction model trains on a layout. Right now, I'm just a collector of numerous HO brass traction equipment and HO brass "iconic" steam locomotives. My collection is vast. I'm like a little kid watching y'all from a window indoors wishing that I can come out and play with y'all. I don't have the dough or space to build a layout. But, I plan to retire in a few years, then perhaps I'll have the money and space I need to build a layout. Till then, happy modeling! 😊

What a great traction layout - very impressive. The catenary and the rail embedded in the pavement are especially interesting features. Do you use single-point turnouts? Is the catenary live? And how do you manage catenary continuity at the module joints? Thanks for sharing this excellent layout with us. I just wish I could see it in person.

Cut the speed of the cars down. You're operating them much too fast. I'm impressed with the overhead trolley wires. No dewirements. Who made the PCC cars? With front trolley poles, they obviously modeled them after what the MUNI uses in San Francisco. One looks to be in the Pacific Electric paint scheme. Is the other car PTC? Do the trackless trolleys actually run? Interesting trackless overhead wires.

Thanks for sharing. How do traction modelers handle live overhead wire on modules that will be connected together at shows or a lift up on a home layout? I'f thus is possible, can you point me to a source that will show how its done foe connected modules?

Car 80 is not a Brilliner. The Red Arrow 80 cars were built by J. G. Brill in 1932 and are of the Master Unit design. As Brill's answer to the PCC car, Brilliners weren't designed until 1938 when single end demonstrators were produced for Baltimore, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Production began in 1940 with the Atlantic City fleet of single end Brilliners, which ran until 1955. The Red Arrow double end Brilliners came in 1941. Those double end cars were originally ordered by the Atlantic City & Shore Railroad for their "Shore Fast Line" Atlantic City - Ocean City line. Brill had refused to build PCC cars because they refused to pay royalties to the PCC Consortium. Brill felt they didn't need to be told how to build a street car. They took that as an insult. I had an original Brill blueprint drawing for the Atlantic City double end Brilliners for the Ocean City Division and I loaned it to somebody years ago before computer scanners to make copies. I never got the drawing back and I've never gotten over that fact. The Atlantic City order was cancelled, but the patterns for the double end Brilliners had already been made. Brill modified those cars and sold them at a discount to the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company - Red Arrow Lines. After that fiasco, Brill merged with the American Car and Foundry Company, changed the name to ACF-Brill, left the rail car business and concentrated on trolley coaches and buses.
