Would you like to ride my Tatra car ?

Well done, there are some really nice card models from east Europe. Dad brought some back to the States from Poland, H0 Prussian building kits.

Fun stuff Tatras, living here in Nashville, TN which is the home of the largest Tatra automobile collection in the world, owned by my friend Jeff Lane. Fun when he showed up in my driveway with a 603....it made my Citroen DS21 look normal!!8|
 
Ok, the last round up for the Tatra car...
It ran for about 4 hours last Sunday with no problems, and quietened down a bit. The whole thing was a bit wobbly here and there, so I eased all the mountings and it settled down. Pickups weren't so good so I intended to wire the two blocks together, but I was so pleased with how it ran I decided to chip it so it could run the winter railcar service on the Strassenbahn. That way I can leave it in the shed with a clear conscience and pack the LGB railcars away, as they don't winter very well.
Here's a pic of this mornings work - the T1 is an H0 chip, but will do for a tram trundling round slowly on the flat on 18v DCC.

All it needs is re-stuffing with bubble wrap (thanks for the advice) and adding a track magnet.
Not bad for three weekends, really.....

Now, what next ?
