My First On18 Build

I'm building an On18 shelf layout, to run when it's too hot in the garage to run the On30 layout. It's also an excuse to build more locomotives and rolling stock.

This is the first build I've done for On18. It's equipped with DCC, sound and a keepalive.

Police Train 60508 - Couplers Coming Off

My son and I have just built the 'police heist' train set, and he's having fun with it. However, the couplers on the locomotive keep coming off. The train will be running, then the loco is suddenly off on its own, with the couplers left on the freight cars behind it.

Looking at the way the bogies on the loco are built, there's no pieces over these to hold them in place like there is on the freight cars. Is there some sort of modification I can do to fix this?

Packing With Only One Log

I was doing the Fahrenheit 572 contract in Austria with a 'sideboard shuffle', in two trips of 15 logs. This happened at the end of the second trip. One of the logs didn't land on the truck properly, then it allowed me to pack another two loads off the one log.

I'm not complaining, just thought it'd be of interest.

The person in the video claimed that the remaining 3 Kmarts in the USA were the only remaining ones in the world. They're still thriving in Australia and New Zealand, and did start as part of the US chain.

Was taking the Mercedes Zetros into the foothills map via the docks when this happened. Later on, when I took the Cat C681 in the same way, it worked without any problems.

The Mercedes has the crawler suspension enabled, not sure if that's something to do with it.
