Of course,you can't come all the way up here and not go there:thumb:. From what I here they are phasing out all of the SD38-2's and most of the SD40-3's.They're keeping a few SD40-3's and all of them are painted CN except one and they'll get to it sooner or later.Apparently they are sending up...

Nope,not surprised at all that you're are the first to comment:wave:.Uhm....what do you want?sign1 Everything came from Carr's Hobbies and he usually has a fair amount of custom painted stuff laying around.One thing I have noticed is that whomever is doing it for Jack now does a much better job...

Thought I'd share my haul from a trip to the LHS with my son today,lots of goodies! BLI DM&IR RSD-15 w/DCC&Sound... Hand painted DM&IR Boom and Gondola.... Accuready DM&IR 40' wood boxcar and DM&N(Duluth,Missabe&Northern)Hopper Atlas Trainman DM&IR Hopper,Accurail Wood Reefer and a...

What a shame,it should have been...walk through the train section at your LHSsign1 Tetters,those Shop-Vacs are handy dandy machines and I don't think anyone here would mind getting one of those. Chris

Just wait until it's painted! I'm not a huge country fan although I do enjoy the classics like Johnny Cash,Hank Williams,Waylon and Jennings and such. Josh,awesome stuff.You'll love the T55,I had an NP one and it was a beautiful engine and those trucks are nice!All in all a very nice haul...

My gift to myself.... Built by Samhongsa and imported by WSM.I'll get better pics up when I get it and after I have it painted.It will also have DCC,Loksound and directional lighting installed. Nice DM&IR stuff Kevin,but I'll pass on the CD.hehe Chris

A Yellowstone in plastic or die cast!I would prefer the DM&IR M4,but a NP Z5 would work.Wishful thinking I know,but if Rivarossi can make a Allegheny and MTH can make a Triplex I don't see why someone can't do a Yellowstone. Chris

Thanks Josh & Tetters!I just want to know how it was damaged at all.Those Athearn Genesis boxes are nicely packed and there's no way that the little bit of play it had and the soft foam caused that much damage.I shipped it the same way I received it from the original seller and then it was...

If PP did side with him that's fine as long as I get the engine back first,if they refund his money without me getting it back I would not be happy and would quit using PayPal altogether.I have already told him I would refund him fully for the engine plus the shipping to me so I see no reason...

Here's the auction if you want to take a look at it..... Custom Athearn Genesis Canadian National CN SD70I - (eBay item 320191569389 end time Dec-10-07 14:42:05 PST) Josh(jbakko) did the work on it and did a bang up job on it I think. Chris

My thinking is this.The damage isn't so bad that a little glue and a few minutes wouldn't fix it and he knows this.He also knows he got a great deal on it,I Paid $100 for the engine and traded a $75 engine for the work on it so along with the shipping I've got about $200 into it and I've seen BB...

I have to go to the PO tomorrow so I'll ask.If that's the case then he can either file for the insurance or send it back to me for a refund. Chris

I'm not sure how it works because I've never had to deal with this before,but I thought the sender had to make the claim.Either way,I doubt I would get it anyways as I don't think it was damaged in shipping.I would want it back to repair it and either keep it or resell it. Chris

Awhile back I made a rant about getting my first negative via retaliatory feedback,well this takes the cake.Last week I sold a custom Athearn Genesis CN SD70I on ebay,well this week the guy messages me saying that arrived damaged,this is four days after it was delivered mind you.He says the rear...

Well,that was my thinking also which is why I have the Cab forward and Y6b and not a Big Boy although I'd still like one and an FEF. I was actually saving up for the GN S2 when I came across the Y6b and couldn't pass it up,but I really want one so it may be my next purchase after I sell my...

I'm actually in the process of changing back to the late steam era right now and am selling off my modern diesel roster.As far as what I like?A lot.I like big steam so I have purchased a BLI SP Cab Forward and a PCM N&W Y6b so far.I'm not really into the eastern roads,but for $225 I couldn't...

While it's nice your experiences have been good and I have no doubt it has been for others,what Mountain Man has described shouldn't happen at all.I have never been there so I can't say from personal experience what they're like,but I would go at least once and find out for myself. Chris

"A couple of weeks ago, I decided to go visit a hobby shop that advertises in the hobbyist magazines. It is about 70 miles away, so I got my list together and headed there with great anticipation. En route to that shop, I drove through a small town and noticed a hobby shop! I stopped in and was...

Paint it already:)!The anticipation is killing me,I can't wait to see a SD75I in GTW/DWP colors. Chris

Do I spy a couple of DM&IR RSD-15's on your layout? Nice layout! Chris
