Im goin off the rails on a crazy train. Actually it is off a long half inch rod on three F15s, mid motor cant. Art Deco streamlined 1930s technology at its best. New York Central Hudson inspired. 4-6-4 steam power all the way.
Some may call it Voodoo Rocket Science, but if it works, HEY! In the end all you are left with is a bunch of rag dolls, needles and chicken bones. All I know is that my CP dolly looks like Swiss cheese. All I want is for it to fly like the Laffer curve with absolutely no Trickle Down. Sorry, thats Voodoo Economics, not Rocket Science.
After the giant squid rocket I was going to reform, building a more traditional train like rocket. But as I started in I saw this one could be even worse because it to is messy up front, in the middle and in the behind as well. At least the mighty F15s will lift more weight and I am going to need all the power they can deliver. Low and slow on inefficient BP motors, real steam power might be better!
I used the Noris box for the ring fin because it was a good quality German box and was just the right size. The nose cone is loaded with epoxy clay on the outside and Plasticine with BBs on the inside. Stinking, performance robbing nose weight! Just a tiny bit of flex is all I want behind the fixed coal car. Enough to get it on the pad and make it look like a train. I wonder if I could get by with some ground up coal behind the motor in the coal car for a nice scale look? Im thinking silver and a bit of black for paint.
