    Do You Belong to a Model Railroad Club?

    I used to belong to a club back when I liked in MA, but there are no clubs near me now that I moved to Cleveland Heights, OH. Oh well, all my stuff is in storage until me and my girlfriend can get a house.

    Mbta gp40mc!

    Very nice! I personally do not like the Geeps, I would rather have a fleet of now departed F40PHs but that is the best looking attempt at a GP40MC I have seen!

    Existing club looking for new members!

    No problem. You have a lot of valid points. The site does need a lot of work. We got online a few years ago and that's about as far as we got due to some issues within leadership. I doubt the site will be a immediate priority, but eventually it will get some work.

    Athearn's Latest Price Increases: Im out...

    I am only 26, but I remember when the top of the line locos went for 50-70! Fast forward to today, now the top of the line locos are 200-300! I realize back when top of the line locos were 50-70, there was no DCC or sound decoders, but the non DCC and sound units are the ones selling for around...

    Steam, Steam to Diesel Trans., Diesel

    All of what I have for power was roaming the rails in 1999 when Conrail was split up. The cars? Well, since Conrail is still alive(In HO), they range from what you would have found in 1999 to cars and paint schemes of today that did not exist in 1999.

    help decieding on ho diesel engine

    I have had a pair of Atlas GP38's move 60 cars uphill with no issues at all. Coming out of the yard, there is a grade heading west. I would not send a road train out powered like that, this was a switching move. I rarely run one unit. Even my switching moves/locals are usually a pair of...

    FYI, stamps are going up later this year also. ALL postage(stamps, packages, extra services) is now planned to have a small yearly increase every year due to the financial trainwreck the USPS is. I got this info from my mother who works for USPS. As always this is subject to change, but USPS...

    Did anyone else order Amtrak Heritage unit #822?

    Update #2. Got the replacement loco today. Not only is the ladder on straight this time, there is no white paint all over the sides! There is a slight scrape above the rear side door(looks like someone tried to carry something too tall thru the door), but this one looks far better than the...

    Did anyone else order Amtrak Heritage unit #822?

    I agree and I would have ordered from a shop, but these are only available directly from Amtrak. Shepaug is a great place. I have spent a LOT of money there!

    Did anyone else order Amtrak Heritage unit #822?

    Well, in addition, Athearn is the only one that has made a HO P42DC outside of brass. Athearn's QC has been going down for years, and is just continuing to get worse. I am hoping for a change in that, but I do not see it coming.

    Did anyone else order Amtrak Heritage unit #822?

    Update..... After contemplating whether to send it back or not(I have been waiting for this unit since July, when I found out they were going to make it), I called staples and spoke to them. The end result is they are shipping me another unit with a shipping label to send this one back. I...
