These prices are what UK modellers have been paying for locomotives for several years now. Remember, all UK models, especially steam, are railway...
In the past I have avoided IHC engines due to their "steam roller" wheels and poor mechanisms. After all, they are really entry level models....
Here's what I did to my three (President's Choice) IHC 2-10-2s [IMG]

Oh, "Tri-Ang" not "triange"? No wonder I didn't know what he was talking about. It would have helped to have spelt the name correctly. Follow...
Are you 100% sure you've spelt "triange" correctly?
What's a "triange 4-6-4"? Never heard of it and your local hobby shop probably never has either.
"Pilot", correct name for "cowcatcher". :-)
Wrong springs. The springs I'm talking about are the ones that bear down on the tops of the trucks.
As well as the other advice, make sure you stuff as much of the wires as you can way back inside the tender. Bachmann made the leads far too long....
Fitz. Other than very small wheel stops, just a few inches tall, welded to the ends of the tracks, there is nothing to stop a loco going through...
As usual with most polls, this one is poorly written, "Highest quality locomotive"? Diesel? They all vary. Diesel I'd say Atlas was best....
No option given to cover the fact that until very late in the steam era, locos ran with headlight "off" in daylight.
There are two common causes. One is simple. Are the tender truck's wheels the correct way around? Second is not so simple. I gather the pick...
Thanks for the warm welcome and kind words. To answer a couple of questions, most of the locos are Bachmann Spectrums with some kitbashing done...
Just thought I give you all a "Hello". I'm a freelance HO scale modeller who models 1958 with both steam and diesel. Photos of my Great Eastern...
