I stripped the Walthers Caboose and airbrushed it with Floquil boxcar red. It seems to be pretty close colorwise with the old Erie Caboose pics I have.

How do you get the body shell off without breaking anything? I can't see any screws that mount it. I see the screws on the bottom, but I think those are for the gear cover. I want to give it a coat of Dull Coat before I start weathering. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Kevin. I was into HO scale years ago and do remember how important it is to have the gears & drivers quartered on Steam locos. I have had pretty good luck on Ebay with N scale. This is the first time I have had any trouble with a steam loco in N scale. Hopefully, I'll get a refund as...

I swear one of these days I will start a thread without a problem. I purchased an N scale 2-8-4 Lifelike back before Xmas. When I went to run it on my test track - it moved about an inch and quit. It would not go into reverse. After inspection I found that one of the drive rod pins came out of...

Since my first post on the caboose issue - I did a little experimenting. I was able to pry the plastic floor/brake wheel/ladder area off just above the coupler box. The plastic piece acts as a cover for the coupler and you can replace the coupler & spring. But it still looks like the grinding...

Zappa, Nice job on the buildings. The actual pics are great as well!! What type of digital camera did you use? Any special settings on the camera? Thanks

My problem is this: The factory rapido couplers are installed in boxes that are part of the cast metal frame. I see no way (short of grinding the boxes off) of removing the stock couplers. Am...

Thanks!

Thanks, I took your advice and ordered one from Walthers at my LHS.

I'm looking for an N scale bay window caboose. I am modeling the Erie RR and I'm finding certain Erie stuff hard to come by. I have the decal set for the bay window caboose (4 window). Walthers has a bay window caboose, but not in the Erie paint scheme. I kinda hate to pay $13.00 + postage...

Thanks, I checked out the numbers on Walther's web site and they are just what I am looking for. Thanks again & Merry Christmas!!

I would like to replace the stock trucks & couplers on my N scale ConCor passenger cars. What Micro Trains trucks/couplers will work? The current stock trucks have the couplers mounted to them. I would like the same set up from Micro Trains. Thanks
