Lifelike: SW9/1200: Runs slightlylouder than an Atlas or KATO, but is just as smooth. It's a Florida East Coast that is used as an industrial and yard switcher. It will also run 2-3 car trains through the ex-Town subdivision, serving the small refinery and a meat packing plant in town too...

Two new ones..... Atlas B-23-7: Smooth, quiet, a joy to run. mine is decoder ready and in NS colors as an interchange train with CSX. I team her up with a Conrail SD-60.

ATLAS: SD-35- Smooth, Quiet, Never derails, beautiful to look at, steady, no problems what so ever. Can be used for 2-10 car locals, as a switcher, and leading 100 car trains. It's my workhorse, with a decoder, purchased for $45! Great loco! B-40-8- Smooth, slightly noisier than...

Well, I'll start now with some of mine: KATO LOCOS: C44-9W- Runs very well (smooth and quiet), looks great, and never derails. Unlike many of my other engines, it avoids problems. I bought it off eBay and it's in CSX colors. There is nothing bad about this guy. They look great...

I want to make a special topic for n-scalers trying to find locos.. I think we should write comments about our engines, like the loco encylopedia.... Write a post, comments and a grade for engine/s you have. If someone already wrote it, write from your experiances on the same engine.

Yesterday I went to a bustling hobby shop in Baltimore. I looked in the glass case and noticed low prices. I bought a CSX SD-35 for $45 NEW, in a HOBBY SHOP!!! I also bought 10 atlas 90 tons (for my drag) for $44!!! But I knew little that the best was yet to come! When I got home, I looked...

But nothing in any eastern roads. I smell another engine coming soon!

Gary, the best thing is eBay. You may not get a ton of money for the items, but you'll sell them quick and easy and will get a reasonable amount of $. BTW, why don't you post the engine names, and we'll give you apprasals and maybe offers?

BTW, where is everyone? There hasn't been a post for nearly a week!

Guys, what are your favorite locos to run? I was reading a a thread on Trainboard.com, and was curious about all of you. I love my big ol' Kato CSX Dash 9 the best. The SD-80's are a close second, but derail on my unperfected areas on the track. I know there the best, but the dash-9 never...

Again, lookiong great Rory! It looks like you just have a few little things to do!

Nice Rory!!! That foam in the front looks like the remnants of snow. Too bad it doesn't snow in the area the layout is based in.

I put in rail joiners, and it works ok. I will solder them, and then solder a small spring (like a MT one) so it won't fall.

Today I used my GP-20 that I had for awhile. It was always noisy. After a few months, it began to wobble every few seconds. Earlier today, I disassembled it, and cleaned the gears and wheels out. I noticed a piece of brass that I recently found out is called a contact strip, was dangling and...

Impressive Charlie! I like the area in front of Lehigh Foods.

I got it earlier today! It's awesome!!!!! I'll take some shots later!

Impressive!

Today I called my local hobby shop (20 miles away) and found out that they just got a shipment of 8-40B's. I reserved a CSX engine and will either have them mail it to me, or will pick it up later. I'll fill you guys in and when I get it, give you a report. Right now I'll likely take my CSX...

Tyson, you have a remarkable layout. I wish we could see more. Can you post a thread with all the layout's parts, kinda like a fly-by tour?

Just out oif curiousity, what is it?
