COX, No weathering has been done yet, I will post that soon. thanks, Dan

Hello, My ultimate goal of this fleet is to make them look like the prototypical ones. I have begun by painting the hand railings white. The step lead edges are next. Here's a few photos of my progress. The Four are: Kato C44-9W, Athearn SD70M, Kato SD70MAC Flare Radiator, Finally Kato...

are the wheels coming in contact with the frame? Also can you provide pictures of the shell off so that we may have a good look at the guts to see if we may find the source. Dan

Jack, I remember seeing this in the MRR issue in my younger days and always remembered it. Partly because I'd love to build the exact layout. As far as 12k views, the attention is greatly deserved on such a masterpiece. I liked every inch of it! Its jaw Dropping!jawdrop Great job! Dan T. NY

I just purchased a new KATO sd40-2 mid production. This is a great model and I love the fact it has ditchlights, however manual is very unsatisfactory! I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to get the light decoder to work with the motor decoder. I've followed the instruction provided by NCE...

WHOOPS, you're right it's a On3. Dan

I'm considering combining a kit onto a MP15 Chassis offered by atlas. The original kit calls for an Athearn SW1500 donor chassis. does any one know if these locos close in length-wise size? I like to use the Atlas MP15 chassis because it already would have sound/dcc equipped models RTR. Here...

Dave, As in most new models, you would receive such paper work in the box. If the model was bought second hand, then thats another story. I would A) go back to the place if bought at a store ask for such paperwork b) go to b'mann's website.. Good luck! Dan T.

Speechless! :-o sometimes things are inspirations for others, this is one of them! YOU have a great passion, skills! ( and hell of a lot of patience!) you'll will surely make the Bachmann run and cry! Dan

A few years back I bought a 4-8-4J class steamer with a smoke box. It was a spectrum series and was a great runner! Here lately I've been hit by the steam fever and began to look at the long list of Bachmann Spectrum line. Come to the realization that they are switching over to v cog belt drives...

rhtastro, not to worry, when I paint the wheels, I'll have my friend who helped get me this far with this model by my side. Painting the wheel is a delicate matter and will be handled extra carefully. :-D jbaakko, Master Rust, I'll have to consider that. I currently have "rust" from floquil, I...

When this Layout first appeared in MRR, I always wanted the same layout! This is a Great layout, well Thought, and planned! I loved it since day one, keep us posted! Dan T.

LOL, Train Nut... I too am a drafter and would love to use the Undo Command in the real world. Dan

Yea, I will go with grimy black, after looking on the internet for more pictures of the NJT F40ph's. The pictures does not show the weathering as well as I wanted them to, if you look at the first one you will see weathering. (very light) I think my friend used desert sand, or earth color, not...

Here are a few pictures of my F40ph wearing NJ Transit Scheme. I know they practically converted most if not all of there f40ph's to F40ph-2cat. Enjoy the pictures! :mrgreen:
