Hi BoxcabE50. Yes UP is keeping me busy and so are my parents. Last yr we found out my mom has ALS. Seems like time has flown by super fast...
Well from the picture, it looks like the driver wheels do have an insulation between the tire and the wheel. Like ScaleCraft said some more...
I don't recall seeing any of those offered in S. Greg
You didn't say if you were doing 3 rail or 2 rail. If you are doing 3 rail, MTH has some cars that would work as well as F3's for power. I don't...
It's all about time and money. I like DCC and plan on adding it to all my engines as time allows. I have two steamers, an old Putt 2-6-0 and an...
I finally got an answer for you. The SD40-2 will take 42" bit tight but 46" does much better. Since the 40-2 and T-2 came out about the same...
I found a link to Carl's youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/carl4flyer Bill Lane's S scale videos:...
Two things, American Models is sending out a very nice catalog now. And SHS 2-8-0's do come with sound and DCC. EBay has them periodically and a...
Yes, there are a few S scale/gauge layouts out there on video. Carl Tueveson (SP?) has a very nice S high rail layout, I'll have to see if I can...
Sure feels that way. Even my rose colored glasses aren't helping. Greg
About the same. AM may or may not have some models in stock. Lionel diesels seem to be available with AF wheels, scale is another story though....
Those are O scale from the 1970's. AHM and Atlas both tried to break into the O scale market. Light weight models and less than popular engine...
Like Dave said, if Athearn, then they are old, not really worth much. Old school type kits. I know of some people who buy them and replace all...
Used market, eBay and a few hobby shops. If you are contemplating scale then the yahoo scale list would be good. If you are considering highrail...
Coming into this kind of late. There are used brass SD40T-2's on the market but not many. You might find one on eBay now and then also. There...
Cary, I would suggest comparing the switch with a section of O42 track. When I was building layouts in O27 I was using Lionel Post War manual...
Doug, I think that is one you need to put a real uncoupling lever on the car. It will attach to the loop that you split to go on the "h"...
Sorry Doug, As nice as they look, I always stuck with the O scale Kadee couplers. Other than cleaning casting flash off and squirting...
Hi Bill, The prototype is a big locomotive in its own right. I haven't run it yet, need to change out the AF style couplers before I can...
Well now most of you probably have heard Lionel has brought out an American Flyer SD70ACe. Several road names, UP, BNSF, NS and KCS to name a...
