NIRCLASS80 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Just a couple of shots of the Trueline Trains U-2-g on the layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Very nice, have these got Tsunami sound? Any chance of a video of it in action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Davies Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is that smoke?!? I've never heard of Trueline Trains, so this is very much 'all new' to me. If you've got time, some more pics would be appreciated. -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIRCLASS80 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 There is a smoke generator in it but that is only a piece of cotton wool! I'll have to try and get pics and a video later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Davies Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here is the video. That is nice! Smoke generator in the steam car too?

Warbonnet Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 She's a beauty, many thanks for the video. She has a nice elegance to her too, unlike a lot of north American steam locos. I have one 4-8-4. a BLI Southern Pacific GS4. It's a rare one in that it actually works properly! Diecast, smoke unit, sound and very smooth. [video=youtube;HRF76IzPT-Q] I don't think she's as pretty as yours though! I think A4Mallard took some close up pics of this, I have none myself. I have a couple of other freight kettles but I really like the balance of American 4-8-4s. And yes, that is a Rapido steam generator I believe?

NIRCLASS80 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 The price is away out of my league too but a certain retailer in Toronto was selling these at one third retail price when I was visiting in 2011 and then the same retailer vanished with thousands of dollars of deposits!! I was one of the lucky ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIRCLASS80 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 The GS4 in the video is class looking, personally I think every bit as nice as the U-2-g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Davies Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I quite fancy a GS4... being rather partial to the old Espee The choices aren't great though, the Bachmann 'toy' or the BLIs - I have four other BLIs - two fell apart, and the other two are average runners at best.

Yes, while my four BLI diesels have been good (if hard to programme on DCC in their Blueline guise) this GS4 was a clunker when I got it. Sent it back to BLI and got it back 2 months later with a rather long list of fixes done. Now she runs like a champ. MTH do a GS4 too, but MTH have their own issues.
