Your in our prayers Gil, Get well soon.

Nice work Tony, I'll have to try that. I did a few tender trucks by adding dimpled pates into the journals and attaching feeder wires. It worked well but was alot of work.

I've rebuilt a few of these and find them to be a decent locomotive after the gear issue is resolved and extra pickups are added. Here is a link to how I sleeved the gears. http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=17162 Those are nice pickups Tony. I agree that putting pickups to only...

do you mean Eyelets? http://www.eyelets.co.uk/eyeletspec.php

We had a good time. We found a few good deals (only 3 arm loads carried back to the truck). I haven't gotten any photos yet (still sorting it out).

Here are the dimensions. The A unit is 8 3/8" long x 1 3/8" wide x 2 1/4" tall. The B unit is 6 3/8" long x 1 3/8" wide x 2 1/4" tall. I also took a photo of the bottom of the shell.

Model Power sold a Mikado with that type draw bar.

My family and I will be there.

Get well soon Dick, You and your family are in our prayers.

I just acquired this loco and need help with the manufacturer ID.

My buddy Dave brought his Challenger over today (he got it at The Freight Yard also). WOW! AWSOME!

I have modified some of the Hi-Speed cars by milling the frames and installing Atlas trucks (alot of work). I also started powering one of the locos (to much work). http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=11974

I saw an O gauge layout at Oglby park WV. that used a similar system to pilot a riverboat along a river. They used magnets instead of the slot and tooth pick (to keep the water in the river).

Are the air tanks cast onto the sides of the fuel tank? if so it is a Stewart. I used #2x56x5/16 screws on mine. The MDC RS3 has plastic add on air tanks.

Glen, Is there one or 2 screws to hold each coupler pocket? If there is only one, you may have a Stewart RS-3. The MDC has 2 for each.

Good to hear. I'll bet some MOW equipment had flashing lights.

I'd have to hunt for the extra shell I have to be sure (it's never been used), But I do believe Wayne is correct. (Edit) I just looked up the part sheet and it states they are #90008 #2x1/4 screws. Then I looked at the other part sheets I have and found #90008 listed as a #2x1/4 self...

What you have are all vintage Athearn locomotives. The SP GP9 Is the first Athearn gear drive design. You could probably sell it for enough to buy a new loco (or 2). The 2 F unit drives are early 60s era Athearn drives. I have one I upgraded with a can motor, it runs well enough but is...

Sounds like an interesting kit-bash project. Here's a link to a photo of an S1. http://prrsteam.pennsyrr.com/images/prr6100.jpg The S1 wasn't an articulated locomotive. It wasn't in service long it was incapable of negotiating curves on most lines of PRR track. The Q-2 would be another...

Nice work Wayne. Love them oldies.:thumb: I have a Mantua Mikado I am building and looking for another also. Looking forward to seeing the rebuilds.
