    DCC and Bachmann Spec F7 A/B

    DCC and Bachmann Spec F7 A/B

    AFAIK, you cant do it without getting the Aztec Models frame for the units - i posted this question up a few months ago. Hence i have abandoned my F7 ABA set and switched to Kato and Intermountain Fs and FTs for my N Gauge

    Ebay - Glory Days Gone?

    well for me e-bay is a brilliant resource because in my area there are NO decent model shops that sell any american stock other than the basic bachmann stuff so i tend to buy quite a bit off ebay - especially now i found somewhere that sells Funaro & Camerlango stock - my credit card took a bit...

    Destroyed Locomotive collection

    Bachmann are quite nice actually, more than willing to send spares but if they are seriously written off (like the one in the picture) probably worth scrapping them and getting some undec versions or swap meet jobbies to replace them and painting them up into light ing stripe livery

    (Rail)Road Rage

    hum, i know what i would have done - he had his warning from the hooting. Frankly the railorad should send him the bill for the loss of time any of their trains encountered Someone like that cost over 100 lives in the UK. frankly idiots like that deserve what they get. hopefully next time he...

    Our poor parents!!!

    well some of them must be fairly new, the sheds have only been around for a few years and the fag packet FGW HST livery was only abround for a few years in the late 90s before barbie livery replaced it. Some good photos there, including one of my second favorite class - the 43s (or HSTs)

    A nice Atlas wood reefer ???

    thats a very nice model but TBH, i dont see the point - the only time someone is ever going to see the full underside is when the car rolls over. Can see why you`ve put more prototypical truss rods on and put the brake cylinder in the proper place but i operate under the rule of if you cant...
