Stewart Hobbies Diesels ??

[Gary S.]

Does anyone have experience with Stewart Hobbies? Would you recommend them?

 

[Gary Pfeil]

Yes and yes. I have their FT's and I love them. They run smooth and pull well.

I have a Baldwin S12 switcher.while its a mighty smooth runner and looks great once you add the details..Sadly mine had a sight glitch..The front truck keep derailing going through my Atlas #4 switches. Thankfully it was a very easy fix..The pickup wire on the lead truck was binding the truck causing it to derail..I simply reposition the wire..

Thanks for the info. The LHS has several on sale for 1/2 price! May have to pick one up.

RE:stewart hobbies

I have a Stewart Hobbies FT and F7 set for the SSW/Cotton Belt RR and I do recommend them highly.
They are some of the strongest pullers on my model railroad,however they are pretty heavy too.

Have a Stewart S-12 using a Lenz Gold-JST decoder. It is very smooth! Detail quite good.

They are on a "sale" shelf at the LHS. Mostly switch engines. These had a suggested retail of $115 and they are asking $65, not quite half price.
