This was a response to a discussion on the AZL forum about not being able to use the AZL and MTL cars together. To me, the track is the key. I had a lot of trouble getting mine as level as possible. Try to avoid having a joint right where you begin an incline. Instead of a sharp elevation change, gradually transition to the angle of the grade. This will help keep those couplers where they need to be. If you can push your train around with no issues, you can easily pull it derailment free. My layout is in a drawer, so it's a pain to rerail. Best to spend extra time shimming and adjusting your trackwork for smooth operation.
Pity Dragon never made this kit with the square superstructure modification so we could model 1944 and later versions of the Gleaves-class destroyers or the DMS conversions....
The layout is made up of Pro-Z modules A, B, C, & D and the train is Pro_z as well, Pro-Z is from air gun company Tokyo Mauri, they made a big splash when they came out at first but much of what was promised has not appeared in stores.
Very nice. I assume it is similar to the T Trak concept. Assume 24" wide. Appears to be "standard modules" that can be reversed for variations. Are they commercially available?
Sow this model in Orlando last year. Great job! I am planning to do something like that on my next ship model and was wondering if you can give me some tips on the electrical circuit scheme and motor type? Can you share some of your secrets? Thanks!
It sounds meaner to those who understand what lies below the sheetmetal. Yeah, the Cobra is one mean ride, but there is 36 years between the technology. Even so, in a straight line the Torino will outrun the Cobra.
i gotta say turino its got that nice big lopey cam that makes it sound mean and aggresive ...... the cobra sounds great!!! tooo kind of a cleaner sound, either way you got 2 really nice cars
The detail that I liked the most was the seven jettison lockers on the starboard side. That is the right place and right number...I see them often. The only things missing are the two cad lockers on on the catwalk across from jettison lockers four and five. I would not have the patience to do what you did.
That explains why the hoppers are all covered. It was chilly that day so the smell was not strong. I just wish I had been ready for the shot as it came over the bridge. Too hard to hold the camera steady when shooting long range.
