Hi David, thanks for your post. I've already ordered a shell from george's trains in Toronto. Now I've to wait. Will post a kind of short review on this thread when I have the shell in my hands. Tobias

If you can't find 'em in the US, even not on eBay, try it on eBay Germany or send me a PM. There are about 70.000 items listed in eBay Germany for H0 scale, there shall be some of those carts. Search for "34505" or "Kohlenlore". I can help if you wanna make contact to a only german speaking...

Roco does this kind of mining carts, they're H0e (9mm/N scale tracks). They have many different types and also matching locos. I don't want to "steal" somebody elses pictures. The website is www.roco.co.at, they have a english site as well, look for the link on the top left. Next klick "box...

Kaslo Shops Products F59PH Metrolink Hi everybody, was thinking about buying a shell kit from Kaslo Shops. I bought a F59PH Shell kit, exclusively ditributed by George's Trains of Toronto. I'm more a passenger guy and wanted to build a F59PH in Metrolink colours. It's different to the Go...

My first idea was it could be a former Conrail unit, but Conrail units where also with high headlights and I guess they had not that much of this type. But what about getting a correct cab as spare part and mounting it on the loco? If you don't wanna do all the painting and detailling, you could...

Oooops, seems I was a little late!!! I hope you had a great time in the UK!

Hi ausien, welcome to Europe! Your football (soccer for the americans) did a great job today, beating Japan. First 3 goals in history for the aussies in any Football World Cup.:thumb: Enjoy your time on this side ot the earth. balloon6 How do you call this part, "up above"?sign1 Tobias

Great thread, my first loco was the notorious 'Baureihe 89', a 0-6-0 steamer made by Maerklin. I got it christmas 1980, what a great christmas! It was my start into H0 model railroading. My restart into model railroading was a Spectrum Dash 8-40CW, wich I painted with spray cans and lettered...

Oh, seems they ship free on orders over $60 to advertise their new site!

I guess it's more a problem of the "manufacturer", after a run is sold out, it might take some time till they re-order them from a factory somewhere in China. Also makes it hard to get spare parts. Even Atlas has not parts for all their models listed in the online shop. If you're going...

I got my ACELA on eBay.de, at that time only a few had been ever sold on eBay Germany. It's kinda hart to get Amtrak stuff over here. Might be a lot easier in the Garden State. UP, no problem but everything else...! Bought my HHP-8 in NYC, KATO F40PH in Denver, Athearn F59PHI in San Francisco...

Yeah, Walthers list's the H0 Trainset $348.00 regular and $246.98 sale. On eBay USA it's priced between $200 and $240! Tobias

Did a little foto shooting, here are the results. I used the dummy loco for the pictures, much easier to show the lights turned on. The cars tilt only in curves, like the real ones. There's some kind of curve on the upper side of the trucks. If you swivel the truck, it "leans" into the curve...

Coupler details Here are some detail fotos of the couplers and coupler box. The new drawbar for the connection between loco and car was made from two standard NEM (european style) couplers. The short couplers are from ROCO. Bachmann used NEM coupler boxes and short coupling kinematics. I...

Hi maglev, I've also one Acela in H0. I replaced the drawbars between the cars with Roco short couplers. The Acela is equiped with standard NEM 362 coupler boxes so every other short coupler or Kadee will fit in. That works very well and you're not in danger to damage your drawbars...

Hi, I've got an ATLAS TRAINMASTER in SP's bloody nose livery as birthday present from my wife today. It's a silverline model and just great, now I'm going to get some matching Gallery Cars. But this Trainmaster is so silent, what will be the best way to give him a voice. I really love this huge...

If you ask yourself what this topic has to do with model railroading, the selected goods include model railroad stuff! For everything imported from the US to the EU punitive customs duties t a flat rate of 14% will be established. :curse: Why model railroad or other hobby stuff? The two links...

I voted for Atlas. If it's about running, Kato is still the best. But overall I like Atlas most, even their parts dept. (online shopping) is the best and has not Katos high price level. My "roster" comprises units made by Atlas, Bachmann Spectrum, Brawa, Proto 1k/2k, Piko, Lima, Walthers, BLI...

Hi everybody, I'm a new in this forum and this is my first post. The idea is great, show me yours an I show you mine. I don't have a layout, just 2 modules under concstruction and another in the concept phase. The new one will be the end of the line with a (commuter) station inspired by...
