Well let's see: I'm not sure what I will get into since I might have to work tonight or Sat. morn, plus the weather is supposed to be nice, there is so much to do outside. I have a P2K gon on the bench to build and some Branchline kits, have an engine soaking in Pine-sol to be stripped, so I...

Doc, If you have a Type 1 NMRA Standards Gauge it is on there, I just measured it and it is 4 feet from the top of rail. Hope this helps.-:thumb:

If no one here can answer, try this link http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=92 It's a forum for the NY & NE and a whole lot of others RR's & things , but you'll have to join to post.

That clicking sound is a telltale sign of cracked gears, early P2K's are prone to. As Gary said contact LifeLike, e-mail or call their customer service and they should send them free of charge. I never had a problem with them doing this. Sometimes it is hard to see the crack but if the axles...

Well it was a decent modeling weekend. Friday both packages arrived so I had plenty to do. Slapped together the ConCor Gon, new bettendorf trucks ( it came with RB ) and couplers, lubed up the 2 new engines, broke them in and added the gon to a train, started 4 Accurail car kits but found they...

Brakie - aka Larry In my prayers for a speedy recovery, hope to hear from you soon, miss your expertise!

Glen, Here a link to Athearns parts they still show all them as stock http://www.athearn.com/Support/Parts.aspx You can almost buy a new engine on sale for what they want for all the parts! I can't post a picture but I will take a rail off and trace the outside and scan it and try to e-mail...

Glen, I've been having a hard time getting parts for the older Athearns too, seems shops stopped restocking them with the Horizon announcement last year. Anyhow, the front and rear are pretty straight forward handrails and could be made easily, no intricate bends in them, the air tanks, you...

Well let's see: The weather is supposed to be rainy all weekend so I guess it's a modeling weekend. Just got 2 packages today so I have 7 cars I can build and 2 engines to break in. Going to start on one of the cars in a little while. If weather permits, I do need to get yard work done, but...

Well let's see: I built a P2K box car only to find it roofwalkless when I got to the step, oh well, and then built my second P2K tank, this went together alot easier than the first and no lost parts this time. Pondered a layout expansion and possibly some scenery, yes, the unscenicked RR might...

Very nice scenes there, Randy--:thumb: :thumb:

Well it looks like a modeling weekend, rain & snow all weekend & then some. So on the agenda as of now: I started building a P2K box, then maybe a P2K tank ( oh fun ), a Tichy tank and maybe a Blueprint box or two. Work on sorting out my engine projects, I know I said it before but it wasn't...

I started out with no plans on Friday except running trains, which I did. Liked the Atlas U23B so much ordered another today. After the trip to the LHS Sat., of course I couldn't leave there without some cars. I ended up building 2 cars between Sat., night and Sun. A quickie Bowser flat and a...

Why have them if you can't enjoy running them! Static displays are for museums!!

I'm kind of up the air about what to do? I ran trains today already but I don't know if I want to build something or just run trains. Got the majority of the yard work done during the week, that's what's nice about working nights. I'll decide later. Do want to go to the LHS this weekend, plus...

Very little this weekend. I scratch/bashed a signal out of parts I had lying around ( non operating ) and ran the trains some. That is it!! Oh the joys of spring, and yard work. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!-
