Another site I'm apart of(A PC Gaming site) has one of theses. Lets see if we can get one started here.

Three projects i'm working on. the Climax and 4-6-0 just need the overcoat. The Peter Witt still has alot of work to do. (including asembley)

Got mine today, worth every penny on what i paid(about $70 including the sales tax) Runs smooth as silk and looks great. has 3 interior lights which lights it up perfactly.

Just wondering if the Peter Witts have started to ship. I noticed in the Catalog they show "Order Online" which I assume means they are in stock.

My Athearn Genisis F3 B Unit is smoking, Literly. Seems to run fine but it smokes more then an engine with a smoke unit and gives off a bad smell.  No idea whats going on. anyone have a clue?

Anyone here going to the show next week? I'm planning on going Sunday as I have to work Saturday. They are trying to talk me into working Sunday but I siad I can be on call. IF you go don't forget to stop by Kleins! Open Saturday and I believe Sunday but i'm not sure yet. We were last show though.

I'll be looking for another Rivarossi 4-6-2 Pacific C&O to turn into a 2-8-2. and of course freight cars of any roads as long as its steam era.

Bach-Man you going to be there this year?

Ok before I go doing this I want to make sure it will work. I want to close couple my Bachmann Coaches(Spectrum heavies), Is it smart to body mount them? or is there a Coupler(I can't figure out the make on the Walthers car, I only have one and intend to only have one unless they make an RPO) like the one on Walthers i can just drop in(meaning just putting the coupler in and nothing else) Minimum radius i'm gonna try to have is 28 inch. maybe 26 here and there. Looks like going the coupler route would work but I have no idea whos they are. (i'll contiue to use Bachmann EZmates on Freight equipment)

Well my B&O Railroad got it's 73rd Locomotive last saturday. It's been in the paint shops past 6 days getting all painted up for its train. Heres an early shot of it still in the shops(needs overcoated plus another coating of SOL or two.



the photo takes a little away, the gold stripes are continuous downt he entire side of the boiler.

Thumbs up. We got em in at MB Klein the other day. I haev to say they look nothing like the one in the catalog(good thign to! i like the production model paint) I ended up buying one plus an undec(Red one that I didn't know we had any left of) to do a B&O one( I found out after Bachmann stopped makin em B&O had em). For the new catalog Bach-Man you gonna change the picture from caboose red/gold lettering to boxcar brown/white lettering?

Sorry! Thought I showed a pic of the camelback completed a long time ago. Well here she is.

I don't know how or why but I think I have a short in my Big Boy now. It worked when i put it away....a few days ago i took it out to make sure it still worked after being repaired and well, i turned on the power nothing...touched the engine just a little and it looked like Fourth Of July Firework display underneath the locomotive....Anyone know where to begin looking for a short?


Thanks

Ok, Trying to find a 4-4-2 Atlantic, Anyone know of any that are out there that are not kits? Or anyone know a good HEAVY Pacific I can kitbash into one. I'd like to see Bachmann do one in Spectrum as they have the best small steamers out there.

I know I know....one more post about the 2-8-0's and someone will crack...however I'll make this short and simple.

I plan on doing a kitbash of a 2-8-0 using the Bachmann 2-8-0, i need to remove the domes...are they sepratly added or molded on? I hope they are sepratly added as I will need one of them.

Anyone have one of theses yet? I ask because I bought one today($300) and I noticed one big flaw...the spare cab thats supposed to have a diffrent road number had the same road number as the one already installed.... besides that its a great looking locomotive. I'll post pics if you guys want to see it.

Anyone hear of that line by AHM?  How much you think one of the cars would be today?

Asking this because I picked up 9 of them today for $.99 a peice.(Atleast they are not engines!) Once I get some of them fixed up( some have missing parts)I can take a pic if no one has seen them before.

I just can't stop buying engines! I bought numbers 49, 50, 51 at the GSMTS (VHTF IHC 4-8-2 in B&O $60 LLP2K 0-6-0 B&O $130 and a B&O 4-6-2 $40) and today I got numbers 52 and 53! (Rivarossi 2-8-4 RF&P $49.99(was gonna repaint it but it looks too nice in RFP) and a 0-8-0 C&O $150).

And lookin through the Bachmann Cataloge i found even more I want to get....the B&O 4-4-0 Royal Blue....hey bach-man any word on coaches for it since you guys use to make that era coach?....B&O Doodlebug and trailer...and the AFT GS4...somebody help me!!! haha
