C&NW F3s enter srvice at Sweethome Chicago

[Jon Grant]

I finally managed to locate a second CNW F3 at a local show yesterday enabling me to make a matching A-A set.

I soundchipped one of them and chipped the other with an NCE chip, after removing the Lenz chip that was already installed (didn't have speed tables and I was unable to match the speed of the 2 locos)

Naturally , I shot a video clip so you can also see and hear it in action.

Thanks Roger. The American Layout is 24' x 18", giving me a grand total of 36 square feet.

At the moment, a cassette storage yard is situated behind the layout, to get trains on and off the scenic part, but I intend to have a fiddle yard at either end of the layout to allow me some through running.
