I believe the Acela's Wheelbase is slightly longer. I'll confirm later this evening (if I remember)

This engine runs on DC only. I don't have a decoder in it yet.
I bought it online (brand new from a brick and mortar hobby shop with an online presence), and theres a warranty card that came with it, but I didn't fill it out.
If I send it back to Bachmann, will I have to pay the $25 for repair? The engine is #655 which I think is from an older production.
Also, I lost a stirrup step while taking the shell off. Do you think they'll replace that too if I send it back?
Thanks
Eric

Athearn's streamline passenger cars, if you can find them (and they made tons, I can hardly give them away at shows), would look fine and will operate on 18" curves.

As I recall at one point wasn't the track gauge different for the IRT BMT and IND Lines.
I tend to agree that some of the difference between the 2 subways is related to age as well as the size of the system (The NYC subway is larger) and mlrr looking at the metro map it does appear to be less redundant then the NYC system The Metro Map looks like a series of spokes with a downtown hub there is no wheel so to speak circling the spokes.
