Speaking of the early LL GP-18's and their plastic frames, maybe Atlas needs to buy ALL of the former LL locomotive molds from Walthers (since...
OR pleasing N&W (especially one numbered 558 for personal reasons) and Southern Railway modelers with a high short hood GP-30!!! Hint! Hint!
Was that Southern Railway heavyweight RPO the one that Jim Bistline (retired Southern VP, and head of Steam Program) owned?
As far as the "lousy" rolling of the cars, Walthers did include a note about lubing the ends of the axles to decrease roll resistance. Granted,...
Thanks GG-1, I was just wonder how to re-enter the Train Sim world since 2009 (when I had a massive MSTS crash that I could never fully resolve)....

LOL, and to think that Pennsy at one time called themselves "the Standard Of Railroading!"
My wife does quite a bit of the scenery and tackles most of the electrical gremlins plus wrestles with the DCC issues, so I'm pretty lucky.
I had purchased a Kato Thalys TGV at an estate sale since my wife liked it (we had ridden on one last July). Unfortunately it needs several...
I'm stunned by the news as I've always considered RMC and R&R to be better magazines than a certain Midwestern publisher's whose have turned into...
If I could beg Atlas for a new product, it would be a EMD Phase III GP-9 in N&W offered in MANY numbers with the "gothic" herald. Now for all of...
