I've read that Atlas has a QC problem, and that the switches are easy to pick, and easy to short.

Looks tends to like someone moved a unit w/o moving a chock... However, if it WAS a chock, it SHOULD be BLUE. It's probably a re-railer. Trains pop wheels all the time, sadly enough. In any case, they're SD70ACe's. EMD is still "based" in La Grange. The plow, road number "4341(GMDX 1007)"...

Time to post up YOUR wish list of un-produced prototypes! Any rolling stock you're like to purchase that's not yet produced in your scale. For me, it'll be HO scale. 1. 3280/3281 Cu. Ft 2 Bay Covered Hopper: 2. 3230 Cu. Ft 3 Bay pressure unloading covered hopper: 3. ARI 3256 Cu...

I'm going to say yes. The blower house is designed to blow air into the furnace. You might be able to get away with having one blower house between 2 furnaces though.

Huh, I've never pried the sideframes off of my Kato SD40. However, if it is anything like my Kato Dash 9's... Keeping the truck upside down, you'll need to pry off the bottom plate to the truck first. The side frames should then slide off. Be careful though, as you'll expose the gears!

Amazing photos everyone!

Man Josh, your layout is really rolling along!

Congrats!

Told ya that you'd have thoughts of grandeur after checking out that site!

It's the Union Pacific heritage fleet, not BNSF. Sounds like I may have to replace the decoder with a Tsunami, if I should decide to buy the MTH SD70ACe. Great article though. One question, not sure if was covered. Could you configure the volume with DCS then program it to run on DCC, with...

My birthday present from my wife, Kato SD40-2! Also, I've been working on this Walthers Difco dump car. I've weathered it with Tamiya chalks so far, and some drops of Gouache, however, "Burnt Sienna" is too light for the car's weathering. Here's the "inspiration car"...

Thanks guys! Photo of my present in the WPF.

Wow, Conrail & Espee in the SAME shot!

I'm interested in the Blower Engine House, but I've got a Cement plant that can use it. N? Heck you guys recently had the old school Walthers kits, us HO guys have had to wait twice as long!

Ah-ha! I knew I had notes somewhere on the AC4400/C44AC-CTE, go figure it was on my own site, in an article I wrote! #6344 received the full stripe, but no yellow. #6361 received Union Pacific lettering on the long hood, and a road number patch, but other wise stayed in SP colors...
