Vendors?
@thepiedcrow6 ай бұрын
Hi. There were nine clubs who were compensated to display their layouts. All the rest were small vendors, mostly mom and pop type sellers. I don't recall seeing any corporate vendors.

I just wished you would show more N scale and HO gauges in this video but mostly I saw more O gauge and Standard Gauge and Loinel gauge more then i saw The HO and N scale trains but thinks anyway for the video
@thepiedcrow6 ай бұрын
Of the nine clubs on display, only one HO and one N showed up this year. Hopefully we'll see more next year. But the others were really great also, I think.

I got this video recommended because I've been trying to found out how a reverse trike performs vs a 4 wheel vehicle on a road course. I have found nothing that compares them. There have been some 4 wheel conversion to some trikes, so one COULD compare them, but have seen nothing. If anyone knows where I could find any data that would be great. One would assume 4 wheels would be better, but that is just an assumption, 4 wheels are heavier than 3, and when braking most is done via the front wheels.

Hello. Thanks for watching. You might be interested in the following article available for digital download (do a search): "Evaluation of electric and hybrid 3-wheeled vehicles for handling and stability. Volume II: technical report. Final report Author Van Valkenburgh, P. G. Published 1981" The Trihawk in this video was evaluated by the same engineering firm (Systems Technology, Inc): Evaluation of Tri-Hawk 3-Wheeler, P.G. Van Valkenburgh, STI Working Paper No. 2142-1. They had this to say as compared to the other vehicles they evaluated: "Generally speaking, the Tri-Hawk out-performed. all 3 wheel or 4 wheel vehicles tested. under the Ref . 1 contract"

@@thepiedcrow Thanks! The abstract says they found a 3 wheeler can handle just as well or even better than a 4 wheeler.
@thepiedcrow7 ай бұрын
@@murraymadness4674 Yes, a well designed 3 wheeler can handle very well. The Trihawk was designed by legendary race car builders Bob McKee and Dick Kleber, based on F1 geometries. It handles way better than my C7.

I really love this video as a product demo but also a showcase of your layout. I don’t really care about a verbal introduction (of things you can read about a product) or watching someone take it out of the box. Great to see something running. I’ve also been considering whether to ballast around my own Unitrack but seeing how yours looks I’ll probably just do something similar. It looks really good and is probably still flexible if you want to move track or even try to resell it later

Hi, thank you for the kind feedback. I am also thinking about adding ballast but am not yet confident enough to try it.

Thank you for noticing it. I am surprised this video hasn't had more interest. We supplied a longer version of this video that also included some high school band footage (the reason the camera operator, a band dad, was there) to the curators of the Reagan library. They weren't sure if they had footage of this either and were grateful for the donation.
