Tea & Moonshine Part 10: Tilting Trains & Tipsy Trains

Down South in North Carolina; a new high speed train threatens the dominance of Mallard and Gadwall on the mainline. A fashionable Great Western 0-6-0 stirs things up, the Sheriff has a new little helper, and Gadwall rediscovers the wonders of moonshine.
Tea & Moonshine is a model train comedy series featuring OO gauge models on an HO scale layout.

Those weathered SP units are gorgeous! Also I like to think the food synthesizers are only capable of making British Rail ham sandwiches.

I have a character on J50 8920 so whenever meand my friend see this series we just think "The J50 has a gun" and it makes us die with laughter every time.

I think it was Lima that did it years ago, but someone made a Class 37 in a Police livery. If you can get a hold of one it would go perfect with the Sheriff. Although it is so old you may have to hardwire DCC.

Would have been a wonderful plot twist if the L1 didn't stall!

[@ThatGamePlayer]

Finally, the APT-E and the Dean Goods make their appearance (as well as something else). I can’t wait to see what’s next.

What's stronger? The Special Water Wagons, a J50 with a gun, or the Dean Goods' snowplow?

[@jimmylambert8709]

Well the J50 with the gun never lasts long so...

[@lancecappy]

What was the number on that first sp? Love the heavy weathering of it

[@josephnadler5521]

Can the L1 get its front coupler installed? That way it won’t have to waste time turning around every run.

[@jimmylambert8709]

If memory serves, the L1 does have a NEM pocket on the pilot wheel. The question is what kind of coupler would go in there...

What’s the scale?

[@jimmylambert8709]

The layout and American equipment is HO scale, the British models are OO.
