Thanks Brian. I wasn't sure but the cab sure looked like it.
In another forum someone posted that CSX unit no 4833 was an SD70ACe. I am just trying to verify it. I thought only KCS had the EMD SD70ACe's....
Sure. No problem. I want to make clear that I haven't tested any of that myself. Just what I read.
First the SD-40 seems okay on 18". I haven't done extensive testing or running to be sure. THe trucks look the same as the IHC but don't have...
I got the engine yesterday. The shell looks just like the IHC SD-40. Even the color looks the same. It has couplers mounted to the shell...
Mark_Athay: I was told by several Hobby shop owners that 3 axle Athearns will sometimes derail on 18" curves. I even have an Athearn tune-up...
Well I found an AHM Conrail on ebay that started at $6. I bid and it went to $8.50. Then the other guy quit. So I won. I haven't heard from...
UP...MP_234 I wish you luck with the job. I also prayed for God's blessing on you. I trust in Him more than luck. Hope you don't mind. Take...
Thanks Mark. I have thought of that but Athearn 3 axle units won't run on 18" curves. I have 4x8 so the curves are tight.
I originally posted this on the Atlas forum. I got a couple responses but was hoping for more. So if you have seen this already I'm sorry. Here...
Can give a little more detail on how this works?
I haven't heard anything good about the H265 for a year. I don't know anyone who runs them. I have heard that BNSF and UP are using the V12's...
Those are great pictures on those units. Thanks for posting a shot of both sides.
Greg that was great information. Thank you for sharing your experience with those engines. I appreciate the time and the courtesy. Sounds...
So the cabs have insulation to help protect the Engineers. :cool: Ok I did not know that. GE is quieter than EMD. Good to know. Besides...
Greg, Please no offense intended but I live about 180 to 160 feet from CSX East - West double tracks. Locomotives are anything but quiet. Do you...
Greg Can you tell anything about the way they ran? Did you notice anything about the throttle response? [img]
First off I read somewhere that BNSF had some GEVO units for testing. Is it true? Next if they do, how are the units performing? I hope...
First off I read somewhere that UP had some for testing. Is it true? Next if they do, how are the units performing? I hope someone knows. Ted
Wow. Go away for the weekend and you miss a lot. Thanks for the welcome. I am not an expert on real trains. I live fairly close to the CSX...
