I don't think he'll give it up either,and not to make you guys feel worse,but I sold it to him for $70.sign1 Chris

Probably not,but if you really want to know it went for $135.Damn good deal if you ask me,I can't believe it only got one bid! You'll enjoy the engine,I was thinking of getting one and having it painted in a DM&IR fantasy scheme. Chris

I wouldn't be ashamed of that Akane,I think it looks great!I may actually be getting an Akane also,I don't think two Yellowstones is too many,huh? I like that second shot,Proctor Yard right?The bridge isn't around anymore I don't think,but it's been awhile since I've been up there. Chris

That's a decent deal I think.Is yours undecorated?I just sold my BLI Paragon UP AC6000 on ebay to a member here,they are very nice engines! Chris

Wayne is just a great guy with more knowledge about model trains and such then anybody I know.He's helped me a ton lately and I greatly appreciate his help and knowledge.I was looking at some older threads with Wayne in them and he does have some diesels by the way and as usual they look...

Here's a link to some nice products that just might help you out some.... Joe's Model Trains Co. New Products for Custom Model Railroading Chris

The Good,The Bad and The Ugly and Duck,You Sucker! Have short,but memorable train scenes in them.Gotta love "Spaghetti Westerns",especially the Dollars Trilogy! Chris

Yeah they were on the junk/toy end for years unless as 6013 said you paid through the nose for brass or were handy enough to do the die-cast kits.They have come along way,I bought my son a Bachmann Plus NYC Niagara and while it's not quite up to the standards of my BLI steamers they look good...

Cost is important and also steamers can be very finicky when it comes to the track they run on from my experience.I like steamers also,but it's very frustrating when they can't go around loop without derailing every few feet while a diesel has little or no problems at all.Generally diesels are...

It's going to be re-soldered just not by me,a friend is doing it for me because I've never soldered before and I'm not about to learn on this engine.I have heard about that also,but I found no details floating around the box on mine so that's good. Thanks for the suggestion Russ! Chris

Hmmm,this is strange.When I tried to turn down the volume it quit working again so I wonder if maybe there is a loose wire in the tender?I fiddled with it and it works again so I don't know. Chris

Well,it works now though I'm not exactly sure why.All I did was to take off the bottom cover and made sure the wheels were in their proper place and it worked after that. Russ-I don't know how old it is,but it was made when they weren't allowed to use RTC and about the only thing the Quantum...

It's new and the driving wheels look clean to me.Not sure about whether it's wired correctly or not,but I would rather not open it up as I am not familiar with that sort of stuff.Everything looks good from the outside though so it will probably need to be opened up by someone qualified to do so...

I just bought a BLI SF 4-8-4 with sound and DCC off of ebay a while back and it shorts out and doesn't run.It only shorts out when the drivers are on the track,the tender is fine hooked up to the engine or not.I'm running on DC with the Quantum Engineer and I just can't get it to work.My other...

Yeah,they're both great brands!You usually can find better deals on the Proto2000's,but they're both really nice regardless. Chris

That's what I figured Roger,but I'm glad I could help by bringing them up. Chris

Yeah really! But yeah,no passenger service hear for awhile and the NP actually handled the inter-city traffic when we had it I believe.The DM&IR did go to the Iron Range and Two Harbors from Duluth though. Chris

Me either,but I'll post it now.... Proto Power West/A-Line Web Site Chris
