Jetrock, your not alone! :wave:

Just checked...it doesn't list con-cor as ever making superliner passenger cars in N-scale...however, for top-of-the-line couplers and trucks, use the Micro-trains 1130 truck and coupler conversion kit...it'll fit every passenger car con-cor ever did, according to Microtrains. If your going to...

Tony... Change the couplers on the cars...i assume they look like a large, L-shaped hunk-a-plastic? They are "rapidos"...commonly called "Crapidos" by modelers. The KATO P42 has the stock KATO kunckle couplers on it, as you said, much better... go to www.micro-trains.com and click...

Charles, that is very very simaler to what mike has right now...what he is deciding between is that, or something like what i'm about to try and draw.... | /| /| | /| | | /| || | | | || | | | || | | | || | | | || | | | || | \| || |...

The N-scale gods were on my side this year, and santa knew the odds were against him...so, he broke down and bought me trains! They never got wrapped, as i was with santa at the time of purchase. Thus far, i've recieved..... ~Black ATLAS CN 90-ton coal hopper with load. ~New M/T Brown CN...

Hey, here are some more pics...i really like the way CNW named them...E9BS units...anyways, here's some pics: I found someone who made one in N, but it's not exactly what i'm looking for. Now, however, i have encountered a problem...i'm gonna need numberboards if i scratchbuild this...

Hey guys... I got a couple unpowered LL E6 B-units...i'm thinking of hacking the "front" off of one of them, and scratchbuilding a crandall cab onto one...problem is, i never SAW a crandall cab in real life, nor have i ever seen measurements for one. I don't care if mine ain't perfect, all...

Brady, thats probably why i've never seen your posts here before...your hard to miss at the shows though! LOL

Mike, If you remove the "balloon" staging tracks, will you put in a roundhouse and turntable to turn your locomotives? **smug grin** If you only run your units around the trains, you'll occasionally have a unit facing the wrong way (long hood forward) and will have to turn it somehow...0-5-0...

David, wow...you really do dive into things...you layout might not rival Mr. SD90's, but your selkirk should put his abundance of SD40's to shame! Sorry mike....but it's true **smug grin** Brady, nice to see someone else i know...you and Graham are both here now...welcome

Nothing goin on in this area, AFAIK...CN was running as usual (perfection, as always) in this area when i was in Halifax this evening...spoke with the crew, and they said the strike was over-exagerated by the media, as most things is, and should be resolved soon. He wished me a merry christmas...

Brian...been there, done that...got wierd looks from the locomotive engineer who was sitting on the rear steps of the rear unit of the 2-unit SW1200R R/C combo. The 2 units were running front-to-rear (elephant style :D ) and he was on the steps out the back of the cab on the rear unit.

Dontchya love it? 8-hour train show filled with stuff and not a single pic...driving home, ticked becasue you got ripped off and here ya find this. Luck is always nice! Free, no less...so that just adds to it

i would HIGHLY advise against taking apart an old locomotive...they're more then likly riveted together and as we all know, rivets don't go back together again. As for, if you DO take them apart, taking the gearbox out and ripping it to pieces, i wouldn't. Thats asking for trouble. Dust...

Cousin Dave has that locomotive, in which i ran at the club in hingham with him...easly pulled 25 or 30 NMRA weighted IM CN Grain cars (i know, i know....outta date) up a 2% grade. My gosh, the sound is AWESOME too... $900 was a steal my friend...good job!

Awwww....thanks guys :D :oops: :wave: I checked my e-mail and i got the e-mail from the gauge about my birthday...thats the personal touch you don't get other places. Alas, it is true...i be 16. On that note, i'll be expecting my boxes of gifts from you guys withing a week or so :p...

Jetrock...i'd love to see your Local Library...we just got a new one and i havn't had the tiem after the grand opening to check out the magazine section, but most of what was in the old library is in the new one and there was only a couple thomas the tank engine books, a few easy-to-read...

I know...and it's getting harder and harder too...i mean, it's not like i can go on e-bay and get them delivered to my door for under 5 bucks anymore......huh.....whats that.......i've just been told that i CAN go on e-bay and get them delivered to my door for under 5 bucks! Wow...modern...

Hmmm.....N-scale could be interesting...but i'm up for a challenge. Now, to find a hunkagarbage Lifelike car and hack it to pieces!

Hey Matthyro, Lookin GREAT! Keep it up!
