" Short of building into the other half of my basement,

I do not have enough room for my collection of motive power and rolling stock,

that seems to keep increasing " :us:

Ken

Tell me about it ! :old dude:

Do they seem to just follow you home ? ... :sad:

... You put a saucer of warm oil down on the floor for them ...

... And they end up staying !

:doh:

Other than 1 or 2 potentially NEW build ideas, in corners of my dusty mind ...

... my 1:35n2 fleet has been given NON-EXPANSION orders ! :shocked:

That just leaves me with a moderate 'Tri-ang' Transcontinental(TM) addiction problem ... :f:

... Oh ! ... I forgot about my teeny-weeny, very small

1:32 slot-car stash ... Eh ! :slow:

Keep working on the bridge Ken ...

... & you can get therapy to cure your rolling-stock habit ! :w:

Si.

Si.

The last three trips down under, have resulted in a loco purchase each time,

Of 4-4-0, Coffee Pot, NA 2-6-2T, and for my birthday a IF 2-8-0 :bang:

Could never justify having all my loco's on the layout at any one time,

or rolling stock for that matter. :shocked:

On my last layout I could run 4 trains with 25 to 30 cars,

with no room for scenery.

Latest effort, has room for scenery, and a lot less track. :2t:

So no long trains, other then two 12 car ore trains.

Although not sure I will have room for a mine,

likely a dead end spur leading to one.

Hi Ken,

Come down in 2022.

You can buy some more locos.

Very tempting for 2022

Short of getting a NA in Canadian Red, I had to settle for a black one. :bg:

Need to assemble a 6 pack of WP&Y Anvil concentrate cars for it to haul.

Do have 5 items of rolling stock,

plus a New Zealand 2 dome tank car for it to haul at times.

:2t:

Hi Canadian

Ken

Seasons Greetings to all you Canadians there in Canada !

I like the sound of your 2-6-2T on the bridge.

I quite fancy one of those myself.

In time ... Maybe an On30 Mogul conversion.

I have been collecting some nice 2-6-2T pics.

:java:

Ken

Looks like I'm still tryin' to get those stubborn pack horses up to the darn mine ! :mex:

How's things down on the Norquinco River ?

Or is that the Slocan gorge ?

Si.

You might need to test those nice NEW Peruvian boxcars on the bridge ...

... just to see if they work properly, 'Health & Safety' yer know ! :f:

Yer never know as well, some bystander might even have a camera & snap 'em !! :shocked:

Si.

I am sure that can be arranged. :shocked:

Will put together a train of my Peruvian rolling stock,

not all of them as I have 25 ore cars. :Crazy:

Provided I do not get too involved in a locomotive conversion,

of a Bachmann OF 2-8-0, into a OF 4-6-0 for passenger service.

:glad:

25 ORE-CARS ! :Crazy:

Hi Ken

& I thought I was a bit :Crazy:

with my 'Tri-ang' R111 Hopper Car roster !

I hope you're confident of the truss engineers credentials. :brill:

Don't employ the dude who did the Millennium Bridge in London !

You should be alright with your nice Peruvian boxcars though Ken ...

... unless they're rammed, floor to roof, with GOLD INGOTS ! :shocked:

Si.

Not much GOLD, heavy metal ingots were likely COPPER.

Slowly going through my Central & South American Railway books,

for more ideas to model.

I should be working on the layout as a first priority though.
