nice story so far. I have a Casey Jones kit and I am watching you and your build. Funny how pics in your last post didn't show up.

Thanks, I think the pics are ok now. You might have caught the post early too. I've seen posts where the photos didn't show for me for hours, though I knew that others could see them right away I figure it was dependant on OS (this was pre-android too) The latest updates today seem to have eased some droid issues, but if anything is blank or black for more than overnight let me know as my view just might differ.

And fyi I will still be checking into getting this to fit 0-31 curves, but I think the cylinders would need to be raised, moved outward from the frame, or shortened to clear the pilot wheels. Any of which would need rod and valve work too. The other option is a custom pilot truck or 1/8" -ish extending of the present one to clear the cylinders at their front and rear.

Hopefully this short plays ok. If so, a short from another angle will be posted in "What did you do on your layout today", today, in just a bit. I'd link but I would loose this post if I change pages to copy the address.

I found it does well at slower speeds than this too. The motor is decent on torque really, just a bit slower than I'm used to seeing with my "toys"

(But the voltage higher than 14v (estimate for now) wakes up more torque and the speed both. A longer train can be had, I'm very sure. This was my minimum requirement, easily pulled)
