Re: Diesel for CHS

I had another idea on how the CHS could achieve their promise of "steam powered NG trains running over the loop". First, go to Caboose Hobbies and buy some F scale track. Lay that track on the speeder flat mentioned above, then get an Accucraft IDA, Mimi, or Ruby (all steam powered) and as many F scale coaches as the engine can pull. Run the live steam train on the track on the speeder flat and pull the speeder flat / live steam passenger train back and forth over the loop using the critter. And there you have it, a live steam (F scale) passenger train running over the loop (pulled by the critter).
