Took a picture of the inside of the shell. There's no sign of a screw here or on the mechanism itself, maybe a hint of glue around the stack...
Hello, I'm planning to replace the stack on my Bachmann On30 Mogul. This one is from about 2012-ish. I have a replacement stack ready to go, a...
[ATTACH] Okay, it's a big picture, but I snagged these two cars at a train show in Puyallup yesterday. Both were custom paints. The second one...
I typically don't do Bachmann engines in N scale, although some of the newer ones have tempted me. And it does sound like their steam locos are...
Oh, I dunno...maybe $30? It almost feels like he took photos in 2 or 3 different places to make it seem like there's more to the listing than...
To be honest, I'm kinda starting to ponder seeing if I can get a whole bunch of the gons at a stupid-cheap price (like, maybe $1-2/car). I've...
Picked these up at PF&S Railway Supply near Pasco yesterday. $6 for the reefer, $19 for the chip gon. They had four of the gons total, so there...
That Conrail rotary ended up going pretty high. $50.89, waaay higher than the $20.25 I was willing to spend on it.
That is definitely worth a chuckle. But as a freelancer, I'm tempted to place a bid on it. Who knows what sort of home-built blower a struggling...
It looks like he does wargaming miniatures too, so this doesn't seem entirely out of left field. Actually, he seems to have some pretty cool...
Those are meant as static display locomotives. Spookshow has a thing here: http://spookshow.net/loco/delprado.html I picked up one of the...
It does seem to be missing the bottom. And the inside middle. And almost anything else that would command that price, although shells are going...
That's interesting. There's another listing by someone else for the same engine...but its picture has the horn. ?? Maybe it's an older...
Very nice! I've considered getting one of these engines (either Mogul or Consolidation) in the past. How easy/difficult is the DCC conversion?
I didn't even know eBay had a "rare scales" section. Is that for all the stuff that doesn't actually have a scale? The trestle price definitely...
I saw that yesterday when I was looking at some On30 scale stuff. I mean, he does have one tank car and one engine at reasonable prices ($13.34...
Well, the listing might say "Conrail Powered Southern" but the model itself clearly says "Southern Pacific", as does the box. Not sure where he...
I've heard that one before, although with "mechanics" instead of "accountants". Absolutely my favorite railroad joke. I think it works better...
Pretty sure he stole the last three pics from the Spookshow description. http://spookshow.net/loco/br442.html
I've got a t-shirt with that on it. We used to sell them at the Sumpter Valley Railroad. Always got a lot of comments on it.
