Creeping at 2mph with Kadees and fixed pilots.

You work unbelievable fast Dave. You are making it more palatable for sure. I was not aware of the fact that some of the prototypes had short handrails like the model so give MTH credit for that. Did you use screws or adhesive to fix the pilots?

You've almost changed my mind on this model. The slow speed is still too high for me. My Atlas SW8 with a TCS WowSound decoder will creep at .3 mph. It makes a difference if you enjoy slow speed operations. That's my preference though. I'm sure most 3R modelers won't care. They cost and effort to replace DCS with DCC to get the model I want is probably still too high for me, but it is tempting. I love these little engines.

Thanks for sharing.
