it doesnt pull a lot, but its a very good runner and it can manage any size curves. i reccommend it. and plus its really nice detailed.

they look dirty and used. good job

hey, who does Thomas in N Scale? I only knew Bachmann did them in HO. But yeah, N Scale is a good choice because its a huge market.

Tell me how you install the grab irons on the back of the locomotive. The one locomotive I installed them on, went too deep inside the holes, and when I tried putting back the split frame chassis thingie, it wouldnt go in. And if I leave them out enough so the frame will fit, they are really far...

I have about 85 locomotives and a very small layout because of space. At this rate, I am never going to run them all. So I try to detail them and put them in a glass display case where they can be appreciated. Some of my family members and friends are very picky and are quick to say "that doesnt...

Those are all awesome. Hey Engineshop, is that an SD80 or 90?

Howdy. What kind of locomotive details have you guys applied? Im talking about details that were not included in little plastic bags with your locomotives. BLMA grab irons and such. And other manufacturers' details. If you have pictures, please share. Also, does anyone know where I can find...

Wow, I love all the awesome ideas brought forth by yall. I will have to start doing something like this soon. Thanks for the replies. Ralph, that switcher looks nice.

really cool guys. Im thinking about doing something similar. Since im from Texas, but I live in New Mexico, I should do something like New Mexico Texan, or something. Hey 2-8-2, how do I get a locomotive drawing like that to paint my own? Thanks for the replies

Howdy all. Anyone have their own fantasy railroad company? Im talking about one you have invented and used custom painted decals to decorate.

Atlas engines are great. They could use a little more weight for pulling power though. But they run pretty smooth and are nicely detailed. I wish Atlas made an N Scale Dash 8-40C/CW like they do in HO. And yes, you gotta know your modeling before you buy from ebay. But most ebay items are very...

the micro trains chart says that you need the 2000 in the front (since its body mounted) and the 1128 in the rear truck for the A unit. The B unit, it says to use the 1128, since they're both truck mounted. Also, it has one for A units but has "obsolete) and i dunno what the heck that means. but...

Howdy all. I have a Key Brass Tunnel motor in the D&RGW paint scheme but it does not have the window plastic. I hear all the Key brass (atleast the older ones) are all missing this detail. Does anyone know if there are manufacturers who make these plastic peaces for these models? has anyone ever...

i have about 25 feet of MP flex track on my friend's layout. never had any problems. Never had any problems with the atlas either. Ive had the MP for about four years. The atlas is younger

The Land of Enchantment is New Mexico's nickname.

awesome, thanks a lot for the info. I will have to get me one then

Has anyone ordered any of these? The pictures ive seen look awesome. Much more detailed than the Spectrum kind. I sure hope they release them in N scale as well. I ordered one to run around on my small HO track. Anyone else?

I will order one soon. Thank you for the link

I dont wanna either. I will probably have to give my dad money for the electric bill. He's been on my toes the past couple of months sign1

I used to model some HO and I had a 8X10 layout. I would usually use two powered locomotives MU'd together. The weird thing is that when I would give them the power needed to pull about 20 cars, the lights on the room next door would dim sign1 I have since switched to N scale because of...
