2013 December 4 a wet and rainy day, but the trees need it :)

Despite the lack of posts everything has been going full speed ahead.  Since the arrival of the Eureka R Class I have been adjusting track to make things run more easily and reliable. The first video shows the R stalling with 7 cars and only capable of climbing almost to the top with 4 cars.
Removing the pony truck spring has allowed it to haul 7 cars (including heavy Norman) up 4 levels. Modifying the gradient is allowing it to almost reach the top. More work to do, but I am confident with a few ozs of weight and the extra gradient revision, it will take 8 cars to the top.
Anyway here is my video....


What on earth has FB done to my video :)
Looks like I better load it on You Tube :)
Cheers
