I'll have to get them out of storage (upstairs) I haven't been inside them for about 12 years. I got them when they first came out so they are older ones just dcc ready I think. I'll look at them tomorrow. Thanks for the quick reply.

I have several older lifelike P2K e8's and I'm debating on installing loksound. I would swear I saw a tutorial on this but must have been dreaming. Have any of you done this and if you have are you happy with the results. I have 3 BLI E7's with sound and frankly they don't sound like the old 567...

I just read on George's site that his son passed away on Friday. I know many of us visit his site and thought some of you would like to pass along condolences.

See if this page will help you out. Cotton Belt FTA/B Info page My guess would be ABBA and AB as all units got equiped with couplers unstead of drawbars. An ABAB would have been possible but even then they liked the end units facing opposite directions. (all is speculation on my part) charlie

Air whistle It is indeed a Hancock. We use it as it is a little quieter for the passengers. We have the Nathan to get the truckers attention should it be needed. Charlie

A very nice tribute Cannonball. Thanks for the time and effort to post it. Charlie

Thanks Guys I think I understand now how it works, doesn't make sense but I understand. You get so used to having links still show up, just change color that it threw me. The only other forum I post on is a yahoo forum for samoyed owners and it is just the different color links. I joined the...

I have a question I need help on. When I make a new post it doesn't show under the new post search, therefore no one replys to my questions. I'm posting here hoping someone will see it while drinking ice tea What am I doing wrong Charlie

Hello Everyone I haven't done much posting as we have been getting everything ready for our new passenger season that opens this Tuesday, June 5th. We will try to operate with the Alco S1 on most of our trips and the GP7 will be handy for photos. The GP7 was out of service most of last year due...

The B end of the car (as in a cab with 2 brake wheels) is the end the brake piston points to.

searching for C&O 70 tonners I came up with a Pere Marquette decal set for number 20-22 could be they never got C&O paint but I'm a pennsy nut . Here is the decal link hope this is a little help Michigan Prototype Decals by Fritz Milhaupt Charlie

Well I figured for the price I could repaint the units PRR for my layout so I ordered them on Tuesday. I got them yesterday (friday) and although I'm 75 miles from the permanant layout we have a test track ( a small loop with 22 in radius curve) here. I couldn't believe the great job of...

most industrial sidings use wheel chalks on the cars. Because we don't have operating hand brakes this could be a way to prototypically keep the cars in place. Some of these chalks have a flag attached to them with the word "chalk" on them and are painted yellow. (A railroad owned siding always...

Years ago I had a book that featured lots of photos of John Allens model railroad. He was a master builder and photographer. Being new to the gauge, along with a lot of others that are new to the hobby as well I thought I would share this link. I must advise anyone that has not seen his...

The guys in the local Model railroad module club have a system they got about 3 years ago. It is not rechargeable but does color and sound. I think it was under $100. They just put the unit on a flat car and push or pull it around. I was very impressed with it but have not seen any video with...

Has anyone got one of these sets? Was wondering what comments or reviews you might have. Trainworld has them on sale at a price less than the locomotive price alone.

I too have had great service and great prices from Trainworld. All the guys that volunteer here also buy from trainworld and never have had a problem. I would have a problem with the way the LHS you talked to badmouthed them. Of course I would never ask one store about another store...

Aw, come on guys you are forgetting the popular "Buffalo and Susquehanna" the music was even published in the back of the book with the same name. Charlie
