I may have missed something. Going back to see what I thought I read. Sure enough my memory is still working. You mentioned having some Erie Built and I believe they are also referred to as FM's. The ones I'm looking for are the Union Pacific with the broken wing on the side of the cab. I have an AA set with a unpainted B. So, I'm looking for a B UP Livery shell. Otherwise a PA A and B unit take over and bring the train in.
When I saw FM my brain went to the FM H's I have . I do have an AB Life-Like set of UP Erie Builts. I see I paid $105 each back in 2020 and put a note on the roster that they were expensive as they are hard to find. They are 'like-new' and I forgot how nice they run. Sorry but I don't want to sell them as I need them for my roster. I also have 4 aftermarket 'printed' A shells that hopefully I can get one painted respectfully at some point and some powered frames they could go on. I ran the Erie Built Life-Likes through a #6 cross-over with a 'S' bend situation to make it worst and they went through just fine. Pulled the 'troublesome' Life-Like PA-1 that I was having problems with and it also went through fine. So now I believe that the problem was the turnout after all and not the loco. Not sure where I placed that turnout but could probably find it with the PA-1 Hope you can find your 'B', Sumner
Oops, I didn't mean to imply your selling me one. Just to keep your eyes open for me. Let me know if you run into one. Good to hear things are working out. Nice when it all comes together. Later!!
