There is.I've seen a couple on ebay,but they're hard to come by and will cost you At least $700 or so. Chris

If it's a Tower 55 model they recommend a 22" radius so the minimum may well be 18 or 20 inches,but as mentioned you may have problems with over hang and such. I've had a T55 model before and really liked it,it's about as close to brass as you're going to get. Chris Chris

I'm not sure,but I don't think so.If it does,yes it would probably look out of place a bit. Chris

I have a MRC Tech 4 280 and it was nice when it worked.Now one throttle is dead and the other is buggy so I'm going to have to get a new one. I bought it for like $45 from my LHS so I would consider it over two with the older tech. Chris

Regulated Throttle Control:thumb: BLI was in a legal battle on the use of the technology at the time the Northerns came out. Love the 2-10-2,I liked mine when I had it! Chris

Getting excited about what?j/k You have good reason to be excited. They're great looking engines,but I prefer my BLI 4-8-4 Northern.The only problem is that they don't have RTC. Chris

Yeah I think that's it!The brass model was beautiful,too bad it was so expensive. Here's a link to the one here... Grassy Point Railroad Bridge, Duluth, MN It's not exactly the same,but similar. Chris

Don't they have a large swing bridge in that area?I swear I saw a brass model of a swing bridge that was modeled after a bridge in that area.I really wish I was able to afford it because theres one just like it here at Grassy Point that the NP and now the BNSF uses. Cool that you can model the...

I see your a fellow NP fan!The first track for the NP were laid just 15-20 miles from where I live so it's only natural that I am a fan. Looks daunting to me and with my old eyes and shaky hands wouldn't even try to do one of those Proto 2000 kits.I'll stick to the easy ones from Bowser and...

Out-freakin'-standing! Thanks for that link Charlie,I really enjoyed it!As did my son. Chris

Great video Kevin! Keep up the good work,I'm following your progress. Chris

I agree with most that with exception to the people 50 years from now will look back as models today as crude.Sure there will be technological advances,but how much more detailed can they get then BLI/PCM and the like now?Or how much better will they run?The differences between then and now is...

The DM&IR were still running their Yellowstones and 0-10-2 switchers into early 1963,it's a class 2 railroad. Chris

Yeah.With DCC,sound and a lot of quality products from the bottom up I'd have say the hobby is in pretty good shape. I bought my son a set for X-Mas from model power and it's actually pretty nice.Dual powered UP F's and 5 cars for $55,nice enough detail and a can motor,no fly wheel though,but...

PCM-832 EMD SW1500, SCL/L&N 5002, with LokSound/DC/DCC, HO Yep,your good to go.

I had one at one time,but now I have a SF 4-8-4.If I remember correctly it ran and sounded pretty good except that the front truck didn't want to stay on the track. Chris

Welcome! You came to the right place Matt. Yes,he showed off all the HO stuff you gave him and I remember wishing you were MY friend! Chris

Wayne, The DM&IR had RSD-15's and other then some C-630's they got from UP were the only Alcos they ever had. Chris

The Blueline steamers will be priced nicely,you just have to wait for them and you never know how long that will be.The Big Boy has been pushed back several months already and who knows if any of the others will show up on time.They are putting out some nice ones too,like the AC4/5 Cab...

I see B&LE units here all the time with DM&IR units,but never in the lead.I also believe they did send engines back and forth between the two roads as Ive seen BL&E engines lettered for the DM&IR. Chris
