Last night my long awaited Yoder 70 arrived at the track for a test spin.    Rich made about 200 of these models and they were superbly done.   Nice detail, paint and pullers.    If he does another run, they will be highly desired...

I also brought my Troutcreek curved turnouts.    The fellas and I decided to spike the ties with brads.    However, not wanting a large head showing, we cut it off prior to driving them in.    The finish with a nice "spike" appearance and I am pleased.    Here are some images and a short "Oscar worthy" film of the Yoder model.     Happy easter everyone!

ahh, the conversation was about the some other models.    Yes the 70T is nice, much better than the Sunset version.

 

In regards to another posters inquiry on Trout Creek:   The online pricing is out of date--has not been updated in three years; Cliff is slow to respond, but the quality is there.    Be aware that they need to be gauged, spiked and the throwbar moved and resoldered.     I do recommend them past these idiosyncrasies.

Here is my first turnout set and spiked by me....    The frog is nailed in and I am setting the curve with the help of a couple kemtron gaugers.    Its slow going, but there is satisfaction in doing the work.    The ties were dyed with RIT shoedye, then nailed in with wire nails [sans heads].    I love the look of the spikes fwiw.
