It's not an F7, it's an E7. They're not due until December of 2005. AR

ConCor makes a nice GS-4 in N-scale, but i'm not sure about HO...i would check ConCor though, they would be my first guess. AR

Why do threads like this make me go look through my junk-box to see how many N-scale Concor Truck Chassis' i have left over? WELL DONE!! AR

Funny thing about that, really....Yeah, the Spectrum steam (save for the 2-6-6-2 which had major issues) is great, and is a good value for the price. However, Bachmann produced models that were very common (consolidations and Mountains), where as Atlas took a MAJOR risk and produced a shay, that...

Brady, This is true..... How big are these plans, anyway? Photo-copy-able? AR

Brady, Thats a good idea.....something i think i could pull off, too. And, a potential money-maker, too! I guess it's time for ol' Siderod to start researching! AR

I can see 'em fine from here.... AR

Gordon, If you do figure out how to do this, please let me know....WHRC, the local shortline, leased/borrowed two different units, 1423 and 1430, from CN. One (or both) came from the West Coast. They were the B-B Trucked versions though.... I would buy one, if a shell were available for a...

Ben, I hate to be the one to come in and burst your bubble, but from my point of view, that just ain't gonna hold water! First off....in the space you have on the bottom module, you would be hard-pressed to do a decent loop, let alone a loop, yard and industries. Secondly, a helix is...

zedob, What you discribe is simaler to a Nolix....trains gain altitude as they traverse the layout. IE: The whole mainline would be on a grade. AR

Thanks for that, B28....the member of the other forum had mentioned the DD40X, but i wasn't sure if it came first or not. FYI, it was 1969...i've heard thats why the locomotives were in the 6900 series. As far as i know, the first saftey cabs were the GP40W's that are now serving on guilford...

Howdy, On another forum, we're trying to figure out what wide-cab-equipped locomotive is closest to an Austrailian-Prototype. And, the topic of the first widecab locomotive came into the dicussion. I knew Canada developed the Canadian Saftey Cab...but i was also under the impression, and...

There is a toilet in the low hood of the new WHRC GP9's as well....they're Ex CN GP9RM/u chopnose units. As Brian said, it depends alot on the RR and Era, but it was anything from crash protection to dynamic brakes, steam gen to air tanks. later AR

I was under the impression that only one crew member was dead, and that the other 3 were in serious though stable condition. hmmmmm Later AR

Mike, Athearn is the one thats bringing out the SD7x series....i believe the CN ones are SD75I. Kato released CN SD40-2s in the past, and usually command a high price in EBay. They have announced CN SD40-2's for a rerun, this time sublettered for IC. They're due out between August and...

Yep...called a hotwire tool, or a hot knife. I made my own for rough-shaping....took some picture wire, folded it onto itself, clamped in a set of vice-grips, lite the blowtorch and heated the wire til it was red hot and shaped the foam. Not good for precise shapes, but it works wonders for...

***SLAP*** Now that we got that outta the way, do the diamond crossings NEED to be 90-degrees, or would you be alright with ones of a lesser angle, like 35 or so? Later AR

Jhoban, I'll see what i can put together for you...I'll let you know what results i come up with Later AR

Rant About Stupidity I mean no offense to anyone here, nor do i intend to make anyone unhappy, but this is how i feel about the subject... In my honest opinion, people in general as well as people as a species are stupid. We may very well be the smartest things to ever inhabit the earth, but...

Will, I totally agree...www.nscale.net is, in my opinion, THE home for N-scale fans...as their homepage says, "This is your one stop information source for N scale model railroading" :thumb: And, back to the topic at hand, yeah, i agree, nscale.org is busy, confusing and loads very slow...
