I have been working away on Kirley Junction but it was mostly under the baseboard work including points control and lights for the Yard.
I got 2 A Class Kits at Christmas and have been working on their chassis which have been modified from Hornby Class 55 locomotives. I have hoped to resolved the traction problem by using all the weights on the Class 55 on the modified chassis.
Test runs on my layout, which have quite steep inclines, show that extra weight is required on the front bogie to pull a rake on heavy Tara Wagons up my steepest inclines and keep going.
Here is a video of some of the test runs and a quick over view of where the Layout is at. Warning -it's a bit longer that my usual videos at 4 mins.
