No problem:thumb: I think that link also has a list of all sorts of engines the PC inherited and ended up on deadlines, a possible source of a leased KP&W sharknose maybe?:rolleyes::mrgreen:

Maybe you could make the length with the track stay in place with magnets?

Hey GEC, just a FYI, but the latest Scale Rails mag (NMRA magazine) had an article on repowering old Brass engines, and the subject they used had the exact same kind of drive your E-44(?) has, right down to the gears. You might have to order the issue, but it could be worth it to you.

Although I only own one steamer, a Bachman Spectrum 2-8-0, I've run a few steamers, and Spectrum is one of the best IMO. However, I think I should note that my current steam engine was NOT my first, it is actualy a replacement for another Spectrum that had more driving rods. That Spectrum broke...

How about "The Crosstown Limited", the "3:15 to Yuma"(I KNOW I've heard of a train like this somewhere...), or maybe even the "Kings Port Express"? BTW, is the James Madison observation coach a forerunner of the future cab cars? I say this because in the order of the pictures you posted, it...

It's Sunrise, no other Walthers kit has that dust collector thingy dominating the roof like that. TruckLover- I really like your kitbashes! Red X Cement seems to me, however, as another canidate for "asimulation" (did I spell that right?:p) by your huge Cement plant, Hoffa I think. Here's a...

Make a race car museum for 'em on your layout as an excuse to turn them into flatcar/autocarrier loads?:mrgreen: They should be on display at least. I haven't been posting latley due to a :curse::curse::curse::curse:load of work that got dumped on me all at once. However, part of that work is...

I just checked out their site, the 'about us' letter is absolute :curse:. Also, take a look at one of their 'new' items: INTERNET MODEL TRAINS™ - Athearn HO Scale "Blue Box Kit" - AMD103 Powered - Amtrak North East Corridor #2

Well, my layout is in my basement and exactly under where I am sitting right now, just to the right of the basement stairs. To the left is the storage shelves and the worktable (which is not reserved for this one hobby, I repair my transformers down there, too:twisted:) I'll post pics later

If you can afford it, I think Bman has N scale Spectrum stock, and Spectrum is WAY beter than their normal stuff, although to be honest, my B23-7 is a normal Bachman item, and runs great today, despite being last lubed in 2002 and thrown into a junk box for the weathering class I got her at (but...

Calm down man, the train only had like, 5 minutes of screen time total, and that was at the very end of BTTF 3. Maybe some pics might help: SPOILER ALERT: by this point in the trilogy, Marty managed to get the DeLorean destoyed by this guy...

Hey all:wave: The snow has been hitting hard 'n heavy around here, although I think it was the last great "huzzah!" of this winter so far. I've been really busy latley, so no time for any trains:cry: I was able to get in a few hours of renovation for my freight depot, which has been screaming...

Great shots everyone:thumb: Unfortunently, I have been very busy with a science fair project, merit badge chalenge stuff, etc., so I don't have any pics.:cry: I will have time to work on trains later, however, so I should present something this week:thumb:

Hmmmmm....... I know I've seen a switcher that once looked something like this....:rolleyes: sign1 maybe there was a meaning behind the paint after all...sign1

I don't remeber you geting the "toaster", but it looks pretty neat in my opinion. What's next, a GG1 in Amtrak deco?

Great Shots everyone!:thumb: I went over to PRRman's house the other day, and somehow we both ended up going through some boxes loaded with legos, old baby toys, etc. However, they also were loaded with RARE HOT WHEELS cars and various G1 transformers re-releases, plus a Powermaster Optimus...

Hey Ralph, why does KP&W #424 have horn hooks? Was the pic from before you swaped out the couplers?

Actually, that square shape on the end looks like it says "Burlington Route" (the CB&Q played a hand on the CZ) or "Western Pacific", so there may be a chance that you saw one of the authentic rear end observations! jeffery-wimberl: Why is 10:07 apearing out of the dark to the left of the...

Ok, how about Ralph says that one "C" liner ended up in a deadline, and a sharp drop in availiable power forced said C liner back into service for the PC. Afterwards, said C liner was allocated to a paticular section of the PC, the section Ralph models.

Thanks for the info guys!:thumb: I can't believe that finding pictures of these cars is so hard, though, if they were some of the first unit coal cars:confused:
