What happened to the "enter your password so we can scold you" thing?Spreading the MRR word on the VET sites on the face thingy and got a TON of 'likes' on the suggestion to The Brothers to get into it!
Hopefully some will show up here.
What happened to the "enter your password so we can scold you" thing?
Garry, probably, other than the reliability problems, was the fact Alco let everybody know they were getting out of the locomotive building business. I know how inclined I would be to throw a bunch of money at a company after they told me they were going out of business.
Time to hit the road. Being we started the day off with a large diesel, here are a couple of large steamers.

Lotsa drivers.
This is the Russian AA-20, a 4-14-4. Not articulated. The largest rigid frame locomotive.

Models probably wouldn't be recommended for 18 inch radius curves.

One steppe at a time...Don't they have something in Russia called The Steppes. How would big locos like that get up and down them?
Starting a search for 5/8 fiberboard, they SAY they MAKE it, but I have not found anybody around here that actually sells it!
1/2 will probably sag too much and 3/4 is just a bit too heavy. I COULD go 3/4 the way this thing is built but it is almost as pricey as finished ply and I'm gonna need a goodly bit to cover this thing! Another 'crunch point' looms.
Trains Magazine's All-American Diesel.Holy maceral Andy! We have some exotic stuff in here tonight, but for my money you can't be this one.
Have a good night everybody!
