The Track Mobile

Hello,
      In this post I will be reviewing a Track Mobile I bought at the National Train Show in Indianapolis, Indiana last week and giving my opinion on the show in general.

The Track Mobile

I'll start with the Track Mobile. I purchased it from Broadway Limited Imports for 60 dollars (the dcc equipped version) I was impressed with the detail and weight of it but was slightly disappointed when I discovered that it only had one operating coupler, nevertheless it was a nice scale knuckle coupler. Its operation is good but sometimes will need a little prodding to get it started and once it has started it can manage 2 modern freight cars but when the front end of the first car its pulling is placed on top of the dummy coupler apparatus on the front of the Track Mobile it can pull 5 freight cars and a bay window caboose. Over.all I am happy with BLI's Track Mobile.



The show was a very memorable experience for me and was a lot of fun to attend. Some other i items I purchased at the show were a Woodland Scenics Scenery Kit, Workshop Tips and Projects for Model Railroaders by Cody Grivno (I also got it signed by him), and I signed up to be a NMRA member. I have begun to rethink my civil war layout and its track plan so there will be a separate post on that coming up as well as a series on how to build an inexpensive diorama. Well that's all for now and until next time happy modeling!
