Man, UP needs an engine wash here in south Texas. These two engines look like they got rained on by acid rain. It shows just how much these EMD engines can take. Sorry for the crappy pictures, im using my cell phone hehe. Maybe someday i'll add scenery when I get around to building a layout.

Heres my four cents. The Warbonnet painting will always be remembered in the railroad world. One of the few differences in the Dash 8 and Dash 9 locomotives, the nose hand rails. one of my dirty Snoots. And one of my favorite locomotives, an SD40-2 that I am detailing. Ive added sunshades, nose...

I love the newer version of the Dash 8 locomotives from BMann. How do those engines perform, along with the new SD45, in HO scale? Im wondering if the quality is the same as my N Scale engines.

bnsf rocks. imma have to try n post some pics here pretty soon.

show off...lol. ok, green airplane putty is another option. thanks for the help.

Sup errone. Im wondering what is the best filler you guys use on your models. Lets say you are adding some BLMA or GMM details such as grab irons, and you accidentally make the hole in the wrong place. What I have used for a while is Testors clear plastic cement, push it from the inside of the...

wow, thats horrible. I am sorry to hear such horrible news.

All of them. Even dummy couplers. I have a large fleet of locomotives and rolling stock with all kinds of different knuckle couplers. Ive never had any problem with uncoupling. I do try to stay away from the accumate couplers though because they are not as "tall" as the micro trains.

Does this mean that the TFM locomotives will be painted like this too? or just the KCS ones?

Awesome. I wont know which one to choose though cause they're all good. Can I be first to choose? Because then everyone else will choose theirs and there wont be any left for me :cry: and yeah, the 200 million dollar thingie. heck, even like 50 million dollars. I would be happy with just ONE

yeah, them too. sign1 Maybe I'll win the lottery or something. If I did, I would buy you guys any Kato locomotive that yall wanted. ONE LOCOMOTIVE EACH. NOT ALL THE LOCOMOTIVES YOU WANT!! with the condition that I was invited to visit yalls layout or progress or whatever. :D

nice job guys. I wish I could work on my trains. I am packing up because Im flying to Florida for training and wont come back until next saturday. I envy you guys with M-F 9-5 jobs.

hey, what does that other 1 out of 10 engineers surveyed say? Out of curiosity, since ive never been on a locomotive.

I agree with Chris. But I dont have an AC600 nor an ES44DC. hopefully they'll be on N Scale plastic soon. I like all the modern diesel locomotives, and all the SD series. Also the Dash 8s and Dash 9s. But I think my favorite is the ATSF E6 set that I got from Life Like.

Its an ok runner. Those older LL engines are not the best but they are not the worse. Plus, its a cute little locomotive. It is a little loud, but that goes away after a while. Deffinetly give it a try.

Hey Jim (and Jim right above). Welcome. All you need to do now is model automovilles...

hey, thats a great idea.:thumb: I used to have enough EZtrack to do a three room layout on my floor. It equaled a total of 7 N Scale miles:D

hey, thanks. i wasnt too far off :D

I always thought it was a GS-4 or something similar because of the way the wheels were covered. It was obviously a passenger steam locomotive but Im not really sure. Superman acted as one of the rails to save a train. Maybe he likes trains more than us cause I would NEVER get underneath and act...

Hey, I say go for it. What is the point of staying with O scale if you arent enjoying it because of your lack of space? You obviously want longer trains, and if O cant give that to you at the moment, try something smaller (N Scale in these circumstances). N Scale is great to work with...
