Looks great Mike.....makes me want to model modern diesel.....almost!

Thanks John.....Mike....I await the pics......was in Banff for the last few days....got down to the old station and snapped off a few pics....

So I just got back from a late night walk with my dog (a Samoyed for those who care). I'm fortunate (some locals say unfortunate but they are not interested in railroads, just peace and quiet) to live very close (two blocks) from CPs main line south of Calgary to Lethbridge and the US (the...

Would have to agree with fifer....my Kato E8s will pull almost everything!!!

Love the horns Ray

Good luck and be safe guys!

I've always posted to both, but still consider the Gauge to be "home". I've always liked the email subscription for replies to threads on the Gauge (something I still cannot find on Atlas despite the rules saying its there) and the layout of this forum (from a computer geek like me) is...

Mike, Don't forget the extra weight you've added to your rolling stock!!!!

Jeremy, See my earlier thread re micotrain couplers. For the freight equipment, I would recommend switching out the entire truck assembly. The Microtrain trucks and wheels IMHO run far better than the other brands. As for which truck assembly, it would depend on the era and location you are...

Ray, Awesome job. I have one of these old girls in B&O colours that I want to repaint to CPR. Did you change the trucks to get rid of those awful pickup shoes? Mine never ran well out of the box!

Thanks John

John, Can you answer a couple of ??? for me? I am travelling down to Wasa Lake (just north of Cranbrook) on Thursday until Sunday. I looked up the Rail Museum in Cranbrook on the Web and planned to visit. Is it open already and does the dedication refer to Fernie and not Cranbrook? (I am...

I'm patient!!!!

Sandro.....when you get back home, could you please post a couple of pics of the FP7s and 9s and let me know if they are good quality? Also, what frame and engine are your putting the shells onto?

Sandro, Mike told me about your "order". When they are all numbered, weathered and detailed, please post some pics!!!!

I vote for the Reefer idea! (failing that, a large and impressive (but still expensive) passenger consist wouldn't go amiss either!!!!)

Put me in for a few of those FP7s mand FP9s as well (Sandro....you know Kaslo in making them for Central Hobbies huh!)

Thanks for the tips guys. Sandro.....I had forgotten that I had read re Katos replacement couplers. I have had unwanted uncoupling. In any event, I prefer the MT couplers as I have some far to reach areas where I have installed the uncoupler magnets and I wish to break up the passenger consist...

Thanks guys.....a big help

They look great Steve
