As far as I know, the TR isn't doing any passenger work. This is more likely something that the Progressive Rail is doing, after all, they are from Lakeville, MN. The cars themselves are intriguing...Where did they come from, what is their purpose? I know the Great Lakes Western (small...

The "bonnets", aka bug screens, fall off. That's why it's gone. BTW, it's a AirChime K5HL....and notice how it's mounted....4 bells back, 1 chime forward. New FRA regulations require Class Is to mount their horns so that 100 feet infront of the loco, they sound at 110 db. Of course, the...

I believe Badger model paints are w/based.

"RULE 14 (l) * – – o – Trains or engines approaching public highway grade crossings shall sound the horn for at least 15 seconds, but no more than 20 seconds before the lead engine enters the crossing. Trains or engines traveling at speeds greater than 45 mph shall begin sounding the horn at or...

Or just use MS Paint...Once was a revolution in the graphics field, it still works great for those drawings. You could probably even do it your self.

If you don't mind me saying so, that horn sucks as much as a Dyson vacuum...:eek: New Cast P5...Looks nice, but sounds like (*&#@). Now, stick a new Micro Precision K5LLB on there, a NEW new cast P5, with re-tuned bells, or even a plain jane K5LA, and you'll have something going for you...

Oxford, WI here...a stones throw away from Columbus. Phil

Mainly when they say that it will take that long to ship is to cover their butts in case something is out of stock, or they forget the order. It could happen, but more than likely won't. Phil

There's even a seam on High Hoods if you look at them. It's more visible if it's rusting out. Personally, I don't think it looks that bad at all. Phil

I had that problem a while ago. That "L" piece, which the frame sits on, is an electrical connection. It can not touch the other side's metal. Phil

Half O, or it used to be... Phil

And Flexicoils weren't limited to SW1500s... Phil

There are a few cases where diesels have air-operated bells, on the old style yolk-and-base mount. One that comes to mind are many of the old Northern Pacific GPs that were outfitted with old steam engine bells, but also installed with a Prime or Salem air clapper. Also, you can have a manual...

Amazingly coincidental to this story, I own the real numberboards from the 1870/1872B TR5AB set. The engines were sold to the EJ&E in the 1970's, where a local hobby shop owner took these from. I also might have the Pyle marker lights from these engines...I don't know if they ever operated...

...As well as the Wisconsin & Southern, which runs it's E9 A-B-A set (The ONLY TRUE E9 A-B-A Set running), and the grandest business train of them all, the Union Pacific, consisting of 4-6-6-4 #3985, 4-8-4 #844, 3 rebuilt E9s, and a huge passenger car consist...most ex-UP cars themselves. Phil

First of all, the cabooses look great! A+!! And second, I love the name of your railroad. It could be a railroad that runs along Lake Superior, as well as having a small fleet of boats. Great work! Phil

See my e-mail off HOYARDSALE I've got one that has cracked axle gears, but otherwise runs smooth. Shell is in good shape...just needs paint. Is in a ugly kind of undecorated. Has handrails and everything. Phil

If I am not mistaken, the Bachmann cars ARE made in N Scale...At least they were released... Phil
