I ordered a set of the HO Union Pacific water tenders last summer and I think they are amazing. This was for a display with the Athearn...
Does anybody know if these cars are new, either body style or car names/numbers from previous single releases? I believe I have all the UP...
I like your work here. I'm curious if the lowering of the tower was essential to match a particular prototype or if you just felt it looked...
I'm only familiar with the ALCo S2 made by Arnold-Rapido. Here's a link to Mark's page for it: http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/s2.html
I think it looks like the DD13. Here's a link to Mark's (Spookshow) encyclopedia entry for the model. http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/centercab.html
I think your model is looking good. Which auxiilary water tank are you modeling? I believe the UP has two like this; #809 and #814. I think...
One of my interests is modeling UP unit coal trains. My emphasis in these trains in order of priority is 1, the locomotive consist, then 2, the...
Where did you see a black tooling sample? The only shots of the U50 and the veranda turbine I've seen so far appeared to simply be photos of the...
I'm guessing that's the brass U50 mechanism from Samhongsa. Any idea how well this runs?
Very interesting. Can you tell us more about it?
I can't remember for certain, but I believe I tossed the Centralia trucks entirely and replaced them with Roller Bearing #003 02 030 trucks from...
Absolutely. By the way, Jason, I've watched posts of your layout and UP collection on the boards with envy. Congratulations on your recent...
Don't tease me. I am of the opinion that Athearn does have an N scale locomotive to announce soon and that all of this denial on their part at...
I have no information, but if I had to guess I would say their next locomotive product will follow the same process as the Challenger and the Big...
I'm a UP buff, so this one would be my choice. They released this in HO I believe. When the first UPs were released in yellow/gray, which was my...
Any chance that is the top off the Ghostbuster's car?
Good thing the Union Pacific never had one of these (did they?) or I'd have to have one. I can't even begin to justify it as I have no catenary,...
I had been into HO for many years and one winter around 2000 or so I got bored with it and I had noticed the N scale equipment at Caboose Hobbies...
I've seen mention of Micro-Trains new releases and this time they've included pairs of their disconnect log car trucks. I've collected all their...
They are somewhat rare and it wasn't a priority for me when they were released. I had wanted an ABA set in U.P. and it took me about a year of...
