I don’t know if you still look at these comments since you haven’t been active in 6 months, but if you see this you should do more videos on your Allen model Chloe if you still have it
Hello! Would it possible to contact you regarding one of your videos i.e via mail? I would love to discuss a permission to use it if this is possible. Greetings!
Actually a good question. It turns out that it actually gives more traction because it's softer and gives more grip. Aluminum is ideal in all situations except for a heavily trafficked club with large engines. You'll never wear it out on a home railroad. It is much easier to work with than steel, and most importantly does not wear cast iron and steel wheels. Instead of wearing the drivers on your locomotive out, you are essentially spreading the wear out over the entire track, rather than the diameter of your driver wheels. This is especially pronounced on a typical home railroad with sharper curves. punching, cutting, drilling and rolling are all much easier with aluminum than steel. If you really run the pants off of it, in 10 or 20 years you may eventually have to replace a stick or two of rail on the outsides of the sharper curves, which is easy to do. Frankly, I'd rather do that than have to re-tire my locomotive. Cheers.
@@MasseeMedia, thanks, I'm considering to build a garden railway of my own and there happens to be a bit of a debate on this where I am from. I agree with you on the wear part, however from personal experience I found that locomotives do tend to slip more on aluminium rails. Anyways, thanks for your reply and a great video!
At a club layout where the main was replaced with steel a few years ago, it was noticeably easier to break the drivers loose on the steepest grade of about 2.5%. I guess your mileage may vary. :)
3 sizes available. Cool; which one is this?

Now you need to do a stub switch!
Well, i don’t think they’re doing it

Why would you use aluminium? It gives poor traction on steel wheels?

I'm looking for rail car resources. Does anyone have any they have used in the USA ?
