I have a T-1 Duplex and so far, no issues with it. It's pretty and it's stout - mine hauls 12 Kato Budd fluted coaches + two express boxcars up a...
I believe you're right. The Ocean View looks to have never been relettered for BN before ownership was transferred to Amtrak....
+1. I have several of the Life-Like cab units with the metal frames and the clip coupler mounting system (FA1/FB1, FA2/FB2, DL109, C-Liner,...
How is this turntable? My semi-local hobby shop has a NOS Arnold Rapido turntable and roundhouse for sale.
You're right. I think I got the SD90MAC phase I and phase II bodies mixed up.
All the SD70ACUs, both CP and NS, are based on the SD90MAC. The SD80MAC has a slightly different body to the SD90MAC. Among other differences, the...

I have a Life-Like Alco PA that uses a shorter version of the E-unit's plastic frame construction. MTL recommends the same couplers for...
I just received my first brass steam locomotive. It's a bit of a mutt, but so far I'm quite happy with it: A Key (Samhongsa) New York Central L-4B...

The decks, crates, and blocking are laser-cut wood. The generators are resin pieces that I hand-painted. The decks stick on top of the flatcars...
My favorites right now are my two Micro Trains NYC flat cars with RSLaserKits decks and AMB loads. One is a crate, the other the generator/motor...
Will do. For some reason I thought OP was associated with Briggs. I will let folks here know what Chris D. at Briggs has to say about the length...
I'd be VERY interested in a U18B for Maine Central, but before I send an interest e-mail, I have a question. The GP9 is 56' 2" (17.12 m) in...
That's exactly what I'm doing with my Intermountain F7 A-B-A set. I'm using ESU Loksound. In one IM F7A, I'm using a Loksound v4 with an E-unit...

I can't answer your question about swapping a Walthers shell onto a Kato frame. However, I working on adding a Loksound Select Direct and a 12x8mm...
Make sure all the wheelsets are in gauge too.
If Atlas re-releases the Life-Like C424 it would be nice for them to fix some of the detailing problems. This thread pointed out that, for...
