Did I dream or has Atlas really made a version of their Extended-Vis. Caboose in BC Rail red-white-blue scheme in the past??? I have flashes of them in my memory but can't locate any on the web....
Any insight appreciated
Thanks,
I didn't know CP Rail had MP15's... Very cool, that's the engine you need for that huge mill, Mike. I might get an undec one and paint it in BC Hydro / Southern Railway of BC.
I think your mill is big enough to justify its own switch engine. Perhaps a SW or a GP would do the job well enough.
Woodchip cars are hard to come by these days and you'll need quite a few. Do you already have any???
well I drew the loads so that they fit after being printed at 100% size... They are actual size. The thing you need to figure out is where to cut them!!! I cut right below the printings and figure out the size of the white space that folds around the top of the load. Then I cut over that...
I had the chance to see one of the new AC4400's run at my LHS today and I must admit that it's a VERY nice engine. The working ditch light kick butts. It's more quiet than a box of rocks and runs extra-smooth. My advice is get some of these if you can fit them on your layout!!!
Very cool. The thing I like about european equipement is that it is so small! You could hardly handle a small american switcher with a 40' car on this layout.
One piece of the split frame broke off. On the flywheel side where the frame is especially thin. I am emailing Life Like now. No way I can repair this.
oh joy
Oh well now I need to contact them since ONE PIECE OF THE METAL CHASSIS LITERALLY BROKE INTO 2 PIECES !!!!! oh joy!
So I need a new chassis, a new engine with gears. Oh yeah and a set of handrails... d'oh. :mad: :mad: :curse: :curse:
The problem I have is big noise coming from I dunno where. I figured it had to be the worms. It started doing the noise (like a buzz saw) after a small 1 inch fall...
I managed to get the brass worms on but they're all stripped so my problem is still there. Even worst now the engine barely...
I have a LL SW1200 that had wormgear problems so I ordered Kato P42 wormgears.
I just don't know how to remove them from the Kato shaft and put them on the SW1200's...
Any help appreciated.
