I'm pulling 11 Walthers UP Heritage Passenger cars and they seem collectively heavy to pull.  Does anyone find it appropriate to lube the axle points?  Anyone have any other experience to pass along with these cars other than that they need 36" curves for reliable operation?

Thanks

So hopefully in a few days I will be leaving the stone age of DC sound (old Sierra Sound) in my large scale locomotives and entering the brave new world of DCC and Protothrottle.

I've got on order a ESU V5 decoder that I'm planning on setting up with deadrail from Blue Ridge Engineering. I'm on both the Loksound yahoo page and the Protothrottle groups.io list.

We're getting close to rolling out an all-new TrainMasters TV site that will allow renting or buying individual video titles as an option to buying a membership.

Here's our most popular weathering series -- 6 hours of great step-by-step video by Mike Confalone.

Hi all;

For those who do not know.  I have been in a wheelchair for 30+ years after a work accident.  Since then I had a stroke in 2007 so have no balance.  Combined with a heart condition I absolutely can not do crawling around.
