Another thing is that the drophead coupler is finished, kinda. I need to sand down the jutting end of the pin I fashioned out of a piece of wire, but otherwise it's good to go! I am also working on a second one, and with the experience I got, it has been a breeze. Need to see how to glue them.

One out of two drophead knuckle couplers is now done. Honestly, it was satisfying to see it able to swing back. I do envy though with British O Scale modelers being able to order these factory-made, while we OO/HO modellers need to kitbash these. Also excuse my voice, I'm recovering from bronchitis.

To those also wondering, I did also record the Mark 1s during their first test run. Ignore my snickering, I still find the sight of my Canadian Pacific diesel pulling these English coaches to be amusing.

This was 2601's first test run with a train earlier this Wednesday. Calibrating the motor took an hour, forward and backward. It was worth it. Only problem with it (though it's my fault) is that its rear axle derails on points when going to fast. Didn't do it on its own, so it might be the coaches.

So it's been a bit. Unfortunately, I got set back with my custom, as I forgot to clean the nozzle of the can. However, I not only got 2601 back from ScaleTrains, I also got a new diesel 5009. Operations with 5009 were fun, but it sorely needs a Keep Alive. Here's some shots with them.
