goodmayes Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 For DIY working suspension on small scale locos, check out the web pages of Scalefour Society. and www.clag.org.uk . The US proto:87 groups talk about doing similar stuff too, but I think they are mostly looking at diesels. Ted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Working suspension is one thing, but solving the mass/inertia one is quite another Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) The compensation often used in P4 is not useful in handling situations like the movie above. They are not designed for that kind of environment and would not react the same way as a "real" locomotive. If anyone knows otherwise please post a video. Best, Pete.

pH Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Back to the subject of the OP - was someone's GPS telling lies? (And yes, I have noticed the date ) : http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=408978&nseq=12 And F-units on the street: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=15604&nseq=0 (Edit to add the link to the second picture) Edited March 12, 2013 by pH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I must be slow today, pH. Please elucidate... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I must be slow today, pH. Please elucidate... Best, Pete. Date of the first picture is December 30, 1982. There wasn 't a GPS system around then. I was just trying to forestall comments from observant RMWebbers. (And IMO that switcher looks lost!)

trisonic Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Gotcha. What I noticed is the strange way the road becomes narrower this side of the loco................. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Gotcha. What I noticed is the strange way the road becomes narrower this side of the loco................. Best, Pete. That's the correct location, and the street does (or did, I haven't been there in a while) get narrower as it leaves town. In fact it gets narrower still as it climbs up the escarpment (somewhere just below the photographer). Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NScaleNotes Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hello all I stumbled across this image of historic street running in downtown Victoria today: https://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_city/46036394001/in/feed. FYI: It's worth keeping an eye on Chris Medland's Flickr photostream if you are interested in industrial switching and west Canada railroading, he's put some cracking images up.
