Reply to "A Rented Mule on Borrowed Time (3rd Rail 5011 Class way out east) - video is now up"

Here’s a couple more shots of 5022 living out its last days hauling coal for PRR:

Here’s my crude TT extensions. They only had to look semi-OK and be functional. The real ones looked to be made of a couple sections of rail, or maybe they bent them somehow as they seem to have a bit of a compound angle. I dunno.

This engine was quite a bit different from most of my 3rd Rail projects. One nasty little surprise it had for me right at the bitter end was the insulation of the center blind driver tires from the wheels. It threw me for a loop. Cleaning the overspray from my weathering on the outer driver sets improved things very much.

Video is now up:
