Alas, the difference in models run:mrgreen:...most of my locs are 30+ years old, from a time when the drive rods actually did carry a load. Rivarossis and old brass especially are known for this. The Teflon idea sounds great but I'm not interested in coloring my rods either...my tastes run a...

Off to the museum...

I use a "micro drop", as you've said. When they start dropping rods and crankpins, you usually don't have to look far to see why. A little---very little---bit of oil goes a long way.:thumb:

I know but I thought the black was kinda cool:thumb: As for the other, I was always taught they ran in 5 packs, so now I only have to find 2 more:thumb:

They are Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range.

I know they're mostly older Tyco and Bachmann, but there are classics in there that are hard to resist---amazing what you can find in a barn hayloft. The Tyco auto rack with the hard to find Camaro load, a Black & Decker boxcar and a few others like that have made it worth the postage. While I...

An adventure arrived in the mail yesterday, all for just the price of postage...and there's still one more box out there...:thumb:

Sounds more like a problem with his system, the newer Athearn motors with the brass flywheels should work fine. We had a Digitrax system at the club where I regularly ran my Athearns with no ill effect on operations. It wasn't unusual for there to be 10-12 trains going, some with multiple...

He's always got a place on my layout.:thumb:

I have three others, Citgo, Sunoco and Mobil. I bought 14 of the series @ $5 apiece some years back at a local flea market.

I didn't know it was there....:oops:

What's an E94 Co-Co 'Gator doing in Selbyville, Delaware?

It may have started out rocky, but it will be all yours when you're done. Looking forward to your work.

If you're sizing up your bathroom for a CTC board, it's too much. If the vendors at the train show stand at attention when you walk in, it's too much. If your beloved bride can only wear a few well placed decals and some Labelle #108 to get your attention, it's way too much. If you get...

One pic says it all for me... If it rides on rails, it's all good.:thumb: ...ahhh...maybe two pics:mrgreen:

Fasinating how that worked out. I saw a picture of one sometime back that a farmer had purchased from the railroad after it had wrecked. He toted it to the end of his fields, hooked up an air compressor to it and now uses it as grain storgae during harvest. He just fires up the compressor and...

Your best dummies are converted powered units. The weight and metal axles make for a unit not easily prone to derailments. As was said before, all you need to do is take out all the idlers, leaving only the geared axles. Another plus is that you can have directional lighting simply by...

Nice work, Kyle:thumb:
