If you want to see some of my results.....

I posted a KMT video on my YouTube channel.

You can see it on my website
http://u18b.com/train-vids/

or on my YouTube page.

It is about 5 minute long and features three locos.
ALL locos in this video did not run more than 2 feet before stopping when I got them.  Now they run continuously for hours.

I want to really thank Bob Bufkin for loaning me his Baldwin Centipede.

It looks NOTHING like other Kumata locomotives I have see so far-  so having one in my hands was invaluable.

My article is at 39 pages now.

I should be getting an EP-2 and a NH Washboard very soon- both expensive and the NH is pretty rare (I promise to be careful!).

If anybody else can help, check the list to see what I can use.

Bob's Centipede now runs- (it didn't do much of anything before), and can pull 15-18  50' cars on level track-- or some passenger cars.  It is not as good as I would have liked, but it is no longer a shelf queen.
