Wichita Toy Train Club - April 2024 (With Accessory Bloopers!)

Another run day video at the club. Ran 2 Lionel F3s, the 784 Hudson, the 2055 Baby Hudson and the club's N&W J-class. Other members ran spectacular models of a New York Central Niagara and Mohawk and Santa Fe 3751.
At the end of the video are short clips of Train2589 and I playing with some of the postwar accessories on the Postwar layout. If you've seen I Love Toy Trains Part 8, you'll understand the references.

The thing that blows my mind is that big O scale equipment flying around those curves actually stays on the track!

The wonders of good ol Magnetraction

[@KandWRailroader]

@@metalheadrailfan I had no idea magnets were involved. Yeah, I can imagine that helps.

[@metalheadrailfan]

At least mainly for the older Postwar trains. Modern Legacy stuff use traction tires.

[@KandWRailroader]

@@metalheadrailfan Ah...thanks for the O scale education. Life long HO guy here.

[@metalheadrailfan]

I model both, so I go back and forth between the two a lot.

Prototypical 250 mph on trains!

[@metalheadrailfan]

With the postwar stuff, it's sometimes difficult to keep em at a reasonable speed when they go down the grades on this layout. It was definitely built with more modern Legacy models in mind.
