Accucraft Forney with a Summerlands-Chuffer

[Shawn]

I finally got a Summerlands chuffer put into my Forney. What a difference. Sounds real nice (Sounds much better in person then on video) I also repainted the Forney. I was not happy with my first paint job (I had too many bumps and paint not smooth at all, so I stripped it down and repainted it using Kevin Strongs technique with powdered graphit etc..... I think it looks much better and will get better the more I steam it up.
Here is a video of it running sorry for the leaves. For every one leaf that pick up 50 more drop grrrrrrr.

You must be well pleased with it - looks a great paint job - and the sound, with the copious amount of steam from the stack is just great. Really enjoyed the video!

The loco looks way better painted black that in the standard gaudy Accucraft colours.

Great stuff Shawn.
What make are the log bogies, well log disconnects in US terms I guess?n

 

[Shawn]

Thanks John. The disconnects are accucraft. I get a deal I could not pass up on them. They are very nice and built very well. The rooster poles that attch the two also come off so you can shorten the disconnects.
