Off to order some decoders and more 20 HP Simplex Locomotives. Country: USA | Posts: 11958 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 06/03/2020 :  10:24:30 PM     Also look out for this build of the Hospital cars soon. I have ordered the raw materials. Country: USA | Posts: 11958 Pennman Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/04/2020 :  07:55:54 AM     You certainly have an excellent "eye" for modeling and superb modeling too, Larry. I have enjoyed viewing your builds here. Rich Country: USA | Posts: 4698 Grabnet Crew Chief Posted - 06/05/2020 :  12:40:50 PM     What an interesting photo of the hospital train.The dressing station is quite ornate looking. Thank you for posting this historical medical detail. Doc Tom Country: USA | Posts: 673 Ensign Engineer Posted - 06/05/2020 :  5:21:12 PM     Larry, every time I check out your thread, I'm blown away by the level of detail and by the level of modeling being displayed! Keep this up and you will be promoted to a 4 star modeller! Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 9056 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 06/07/2020 :  7:09:56 PM     Thanks Greg, Doc Tom and Rich. My Styrene appears to be going the USPS circuit. No progress. Here is what it looked like on the Hun side. Believe my artillery are causing some damage in the first video. https://www.filmportal.de/video/aus-eisernen-tagen-des-weltkrieges-deutsche-feldbahn-unter-feuer https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=mit+der+feldbahn+an+der+front+im+westen&docid=608033576396392101&mid=5EAAB09B96E8749B7D695EAAB09B96E8749B7D69&view=detail&FORM=VIRE Country: USA | Posts: 11958 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 06/08/2020 :  7:51:24 PM     Back to the coupler challenge. The 3D printed couplers came in today and I was impressed. Magnets fit in tightly Designed wit an optional chopped link if I wanted to be accurate. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYvtitmKA_A , I can hint, I put 1lb of weight on a train and the engine could not pull the load or pull the rolling stock apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCaYTRMam1s Edited by - BigLars on 06/08/2020 8:28:42 PM Country: USA | Posts: 11958 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 06/11/2020 :  06:33:00 AM     Larry, that looks good. The second video appears to have cut off before the engine started moving. I think it was your intention to show the engine moving the 1 lb car?

Hi I don't think the engine could do much more than spin its drivers with all the weight. But the couplers remained intact. Very strong tiny magnets. Doc Tom Country: USA | Posts: 673 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 06/11/2020 :  1:52:58 PM     Correct, The engine just spun it wheels. No tiny sand could be applied to the tracks. Country: USA | Posts: 11958 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 06/12/2020 :  06:41:12 AM     Oops! Didn't see the drivers moving. Arthur Country: USA | Posts: 5866 Bill Gill Fireman Posted - 06/12/2020 :  07:39:42 AM     That coupler idea is great! The connection is very strong, how will you uncouple the cars?

The connection is very strong, how will you uncouple the cars? The same way I have to uncouple link and pin couplers now, manually. It will be easier as now as I only have to pull the cars apart with my hands and not use tweezer and fling pins around the layout. Overall I am happy. Country: USA | Posts: 11958 Bill Gill Fireman Posted - 06/12/2020 :  9:17:22 PM     A friend is starting to model the USMRR during the Civil War in HO scale. I sent him a link to your couplers here, suggesting he glue the pins in HO L&P couplers and replace the links with tiny magnets. He'll be running short trains. I think this can work for him without putting an eye out flinging microscopic pins everywhere. Thanks! Country: USA | Posts: 3242 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/13/2020 :  03:23:13 AM     Larry, this is getting better all the time. Those couples are very ingenious. I enjoyed those WW1 videos too. 100 years old, and yet very good quality. Interesting how wonky the track was. And that damaged section they changed out. Wonder if it was Peco or Atlas.
