you guys are pushy but i would be also , i am expecting my parents to bring me my boxed 4034 western train and then i will set it up in combo with an additional 4123 ( two in total as 4034 has one), two of 4120, one of 4121 and one of 4122 so there will be a total of 7 wagons ( 4034 has a flat 4106 bu with pegs all round which i cant find right now ...) behind the coal wagon
in terms of rails i have about 50x 4355 , 10 x 4354, 1 x 4356, 1 x 4357, 1 x 4360 and also a 4352 stopper but i wont be settign all these rails up, just too many . with the 4375 controller and a 4372 i hope to be able to run the train and hopefully all will work , i have never set it up and i havent tesetd the controller though i am sure it will work fine
pictures early/mid next week and thats a promise 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

At the time of the nuremberg guards (middle ages), no train existed.

I like how you've landscaped it.
Two questions:
1) Why the caboose right after the coal tender? (this was never done)
2) What got photoshopped out of the first picture? (you know it may well have been something really good)

Thank you for your information about the cabooses (I am no special US train driver). You see, I have two of them in the train. Do I have to put both at the end of the train?
My special theme is epoch II in Germany (~1920-30) with the old steam locos, old electric locos and people with caps, suits and hats of the 20s.
I think, I don't understand all of the Photoshop-question:
Do you want to know, what is not in the picture or do you want to know what is corrected in Photoshop?
All is photoshopped ;) but only the little (left) edge at the end of the rails is corrected fast (I know, I could do it better, so that no one can see anything). The rest is our garden/garden train. But it's not finished: the bridge is not fixed, the crushed stone is missing, the pond in the background needs to be filled and so on...

There would only be one caboose per train. It would be the very last car. The conductor(s) would ride in that car. The Engineer and brakeman would be in the engine. If there were any crew or passengers (rare I know and only if there were no passsenger cars (ie frieght train)) they would ride in the caboose as well.
They stopped using cabooses here a couple decades ago however just last week a fright train that went by had one on it. I have no idea why or if they are going back to that. My grandfather was an engineer on steam trains after world war II (he was a brakeman before the war and joined the airforce in 1939 at the outset of the war. In 1946 after the war he went back to the railroad. My great grandfather was also an engineer - so I grew up and around and on trains but the diesel electric ones are just not the same as the steam - in fact, the new diesel eletrics are run by remote control now - just the same remoste as model cars and airplanes.. They use them for switching the cars in the yards now. That way they only have to pay a conductor instead of a conductor and an engineer and a brakeman).
Anyway, he always talked about the safety issue of not having a caboose and you have no idea what's happening to the train if there is no longer someone at the end of it watching out for anything (ie loose loads, jumpers, etc).
By photoshop I was refering to the clone stamp tool you used and thought maybe you were hiding something good. ;D
-
What grade is that train going up? looks steep.
-
I will also use two cabooses in my train !!!! :love: :love: :love: :love:

The hidden is not (very) interesting. You can see all in the last photo (it's a right curve). In the first photo the rails are not assembled (looked wrong).
Thank you for your interesting details (about your grandfather)!

Yes, you are right. The brigde is not yet finished and unfortunately our garden is very steep. Also this loco with only one motor can't pull 10 wagons! It's only for the photo.

That's the reason why I put 2 cabooses in this train. (and also cause I have 2).
-
What i find very interesting is that the western train can pull that many wagons !!! :love: :love: :love:

LOL
The only way you could get away with that would be to put them together and have the train hauling it as a freight car one way to a destination (if you want accuracy). But it's a toy...
You could maybe trade that extra caboose for another type of car!!! ;D

Did you read that? :hmm:

I did but when i set up and run my western train yesterday it pulled in a 3m diameter oval truck a wetsern train with 2 cabooze, 1 open wagon, 2 passenger wagons, 1 animal wagon, 1 cargo wagon = 8 wagons in total and it had 3 klickies on it . it was pulling fine without any problems or whatsoever !!!!! so perhaps its something to do with condition of engine blocks/ control boxes etc
The western train can pull 8 wagons , easily. end of story . i tested it yesterday ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes and your Porsche can pull a 2 ton trailer, but that doesn't mean it is any good for it though. The info also was that after pulling so much weight the motor gears will wear out similar to how your Porsche will die prematurely after towing trailers. ;D
"Can" does not mean that you necessarily should ;)
I think the 4052 has 2 engines giving it appropriate power to pull longer or heavier loads.

For details of the Playmobil tender locos 4029, 4031 and 4052 are noe on my web site.
