Re: 488 is looking good

Well and what helps is my dad can answer almost any question I have too. So when we run at the 30" gauge zoo railroad on the weekends, I ask him some thing's. I don't ask him stuff all the time because after awhile he'd just say "Figure it out on your own". I figured out how to run it on my own. I don't mean just make it move! I mean really RUN it. Well. And it's a hard railroad to run on, Scholl will tell ya'. 6% grades up and down. Plus, all the firing controls except the firemans side injector, are on the engineers side, and we use those stupid penberthy guns which never want to pick up in the summer months. But that's mostly because the water get's hot inside the water tanks.
I hope you don't think i'm just some foamer, Taylor, and that I just think I know what i'm talking about. The things I still have yet to learn are like the eccentric link...direct and indirect motion kind of thing.
