JR that is probably the new version that Bachmann told me wouldn't be here till next month. The picture is not preproduction but that of the old ATSF 4-8-4 since they published it before the new one was built. Bachmann even commented on this. Russ, don't get excited. The new ones aren't...

We tried it in a couple of spots on the club layout and I couldn't get my long passenger cars around them without derailing. If the cars are 85' and they're close coupled, then they tend to bind. Dick Texas Chief

John, did you say that this is a Bachmann Santa Fe 4-8-4? Either it's an old one, or Bachmann lied to me the other day when they said they wouldn't get here till next month. Dick Texas Chief

Actually, I haven't heard one yet. But I keep reading about how bad they sound compared to QSI, Lok-Sound and Tzunami. Besides, I don't know how they are elsewhere but every MRC decoder that has been tried on our club layout with a Digitrax system, has givin us nothing but fits. They are not...

In leu of buying a Precision-Craft Big Boy for $500, I'm thinking of buying a Genesis Big Boy for $300 and swapping the MRC decoder with a Tsunami decoder. Has anyone tried this yet? If so, does it have to be modified, hard wired or can it be plugged right in? Thanks much. Dick Texas Chief

Caboose Hobbies in Denver sells a kit model of thier model railroad supermarket in HO scale. It's a model of the store when it was only one storefront. It's now three storefronts wide. The kit even comes with decals, including the big one on the side of the building. Anyone who has been there...

Steve, I did this to a Proto 2000 GP7 several years ago. I cheated and used the side railings and stanchions from an Athearn GP7. It's pretty easy to do that way. I added a section where the cab was that I cut out of an extra railing with the seam in the middle of a stanchion then I glued the...

I have marker lights on all of my HO cabooses, (cabeese)? All but 2 are brass non-functional. The other 2 are made by a company that I can't think of the name of off the top of my head. The name "Adlake" keeps popping up, but I wouldn't gaurantee it. These kits come with the lights, a bracket to...

:thumb: Andy, If you have no luck, let me know. I have a pair of ATSF Erie builts that I'll be removing the horns from eventually because the ones that came on the models are different than the ones on the SF prototype. Dick Texas Chief

:curse: About 4 months ago, I called Walthers and asked them to send me a pair of GP7 trucks, gears etc. They were very nice and ship me a set right away. Four days ago, I called to ask if the traction wheels on the new Heritage 2-8-8-2 were availlable separately. Before I could get the whole...
