:thumb: Brian; I have several books from Morning Sun and I have not been disapointed in any one of them. They're a great source of information. Dick Texas Chief

On the other hand, if you're not very experienced, you can get ripped off on e-bay too!!! As far as websites go, I buy from people like Trainworld, Modeltrainstuff.com, Toytrainheaven.com and HObbiesUSA.com. I've been dealing with these people for many, many years and they have never done me...

148's are the ones with the cat whisker centering spring. I stand corrected. Sorry! Dick Texas Chief :thumb:

148's are the same as #5's only they're scale and therefore more prototypical. Dick Texas Chief :thumb:

"Trains Unlimited" was a series that ran for about three years. (wild guess). Excellent series. There was one on model trains. Must have been about 30 episodes. I have all of them taped. Dick Texas chief:thumb:

For the benefit of whoever posted the survey above, MRC does not make Tsunami, Soundtraxx does!!! Dick Texas Chief

sign1 Miles...I think he meant a high cube car that was 96 ft. long. Dick Texas chief

:thumb: Kurt...I guess I should have clarified my statement. I believe the stripes pointed down on the front of all SF RS-1's. To clarify further, the long hood on the SW and NW's was the front hood only because they didn't have a short hood. Also on the SW's the very first ones out didn't have...

:wave: Russ...You're correct on every account except one. The Santa Fe's first Alco diesel, the RS-1 was delivered with the stripes on the front (short) hood pointing down. This was an error on Alco's part, but Santa Fe didn't change it. All succeeding engines had the front stripes pointing up...

sign1 Don't let UP see this or they'll try it and then attempt to collect a fee on the model airplane bussiness also. Dick Texas Chief

:) That had to be a list of the movies that haven't been mentioned on this thread. He left a lot of them out. Dick Texas Chief

Bill...The movie you're referring to with Kirk Douglas was "The Racers". 50's vintage formula one cars. Great shots of the cars but as you said, phoney closeups and soundmix. Dick texas Chief

:thumb: Hemi: I have over a hundred Accurail cars and I've installed Kadee's # 5's on every one. Works great!! Dick Texas Chief

Frisco, the IHC tender is not even close to being correct. The Bachmann tender, while closer, is not correct either. Neither one of the engines make the grade as far as the 2-10-2 that the Santa Fe actually used. The BLI version is pretty close to being exact. Only the rivet counters would find...

Thanks Don, I appreciate the reply. However, I'm still confused. I'm pretty much computer illiterate. What is: User CP ? URL ? [img] tag ? Thanks again. Dick Texas Chief

:cry: Could you'all translate that into English please? Dick Texas Chief

:wave: I enjoy watching movies on VCR and DVD and TV. I collect metal model cars. In the summer, I race sports cars. (Road racing, etc.) Right now I'm watching the 24 hours of Daytona, my kind of racing!! Dick Texas Chief

:curse: What gripes me the most is the fact that they (UP) forced the best calender company in the country out of bussiness because they couldn't afford to fight them. CEDCO took most of their own pictures for the calenders. That meant that they legally owned the pictures and were therefore not...

:thumb: Absolutely!!! And since I no longer wear my Atlas forum pin, I have the perfect place for it on my club shirt that I wear to all shows, about 10 per year. Dick Teas Chief
