I just got my Atlas NW Trainmaster in the black with white block lettering scheme. Of course it has sound.
I am assuming you were tongue in cheek when you said that. CSX did it to really save money. It costs more to paint and mask a 3 color scheme job...
I agree, I loved the AC6000CW original scheme. Now I understand that the 70macs (700 number series) and the ex Conrail 80macs are being repainted...
We N&W fans will let you slide on this one. I have to admit, I do like the ex-Southern SD40-2 hi hoods (the horror of it all!) A.J.
N&W Diesel Passenger Locomotives The red was for passenger scheme locomotives. After the end of passenger service the steam generators were...
I am a big time N&W fan here. I model the diesel era, mainly the late 60's up until the merger with Southern in 1982. I grew up in the former...
There are ways to make them better. I emply the use of jumper wires to help electrically and I run with DCC. As for appearance, my mainline is...
Send a pic to BNSF. If you UP can paint heritage units, maybe they could too. [img]
Your problems are solved in Palmer, Mass. The owner of the former trainstation next to the CSX lines just put in a restuarant called the...
I have several old Atlas/Kato (yellow box made in Japan) Alco C424 and C425. They had that stupid pin too. I ended of drilling out the hole and...
I can only fill you in on CSX Boston. Depending on if you are driving or want to take the train. If you take the early Downeaster, once you...
It is not really a class unit, it was the first widecab. NS had these same units in standard cab, but GE told them if they wanted anymore in...
I know for six axle good quality loco's Stewart had PRR C-628 ALCO's and Kato had an EMD SD45. Both would require 22 inch radius curves, and...
That looks like an ex N&W/NS C30-7. N&W was known to get every little bit out of an engine. I would think NS was the same way.
There is no way I could sell that. This guy must not live in an area with a "neighborhood association". :D
Are your programming tracks clean?
DeLorme, makes a relatively inexpensive mapping software. I believe it is around $70. It is good topgraphical maps and you can put place tags on...
Try this site. It used to have campgrounds listed. I am not sure if it does anymore. http://www.goeaston.net/~cahash/
I was able to get all the grab irons, windshield wipers and most of the handrails on my Kato SD45, despite the nice weather and the long honey do...
Sorry Pat, I should have read earlier post. I did not think NS had trackage rights there either. Maybe they do but they didn't excercise them.
