And PLEASE don't forget an EBT Mikado! 

Frank,

Click on the Service/Parts link at top of this page.  The
service dept should be able to send you those screws
in a hurry.

It's just amazing what one sees on here.  Some of these
people are real artists.  That Dunkirk is teriffic.

I like the possibility of having a much longer range of radio control.

And I have 3 of those ore cars operating on my railroad, in the 600 series.
Guess they'll go fairly near the top of the pile of projects to be done. 
Wish someone made decal sets or dry transfer sets with lettering just like that.

Very nice, as usual, Kev. 
I wish you'd show how you modified the Bachmann wood ore
cars into the hoppers shown in several of the GR photo articles.

While my up what???

Since gauge is the distance between rails, a building would be no
gauge at all.  The tower is the Plasticville theoretical O scale coaling
tower.

Matthew,

Every Christmas, one of my 45-tonners pulls a freight train around
under the tree on R1 curves without difficulty.  Usually 4-6 cars.

Cheers,
Lee

Try 1:20.3 scale, where the Bachmann 2-bay hoppers are going
for the street price of around $90.00 a pop!

How about a model of this one, no. 1074, 4-bay....the only remaining one....

Here's a link to a photo of one of the outside-braced boxcars still
operable on the EBT, this one as a boxcar.  Another is in the restoration process, by FEBT.

And one of the steel cars converted to passenger service.  Another
is in the process now by FEBT.

Welcome to the club, Matt.  We're hoping that we'll be seeing an EBT Mike very shortly.  On largescalecentral.com, Bob McCown was letting members know about castings being made for us to model an EBT outside-braced steel boxcar.  One of the unique freight car types that operate on the EBT.

Keep on plugging!

BTS now has kits for EBT 3-Bay hoppers (low side and high side)
to go along with the Bachmann 2-Bay cars.

Well, Rich Yoder Models is coming out shortly with models
of EBT Mikados 14 and 15 in brass, to be followed by the other
EBT Mikes.  The problem is that they're running about $3500.00
each.   And I have no children to sell into slavery.

Hmm....the guest room is normally unused.  Maybe I can rent
that out.

Not much joy in Mudville. 
Matthew, Kevin... Guess we can take a vacation with the money we've saved this time.
