Hello Mr. Joe Satnik......

I agree too..... becasue i sat my williams 2-8-4 berkshire beside my williams sd-45 and its like that 4 bay hopper vs. 2 bay hopper in the picture.  the sd-45 should be in area of 65 feet long and the berkshire with 12 wheel tender be least 98 feet long so the berkshire is under size,shorter and that is ok i like it too much to let it bother me.

Hello Mr. Joe Satnik.....

I do remember back in 1980's the lionel chrome plated F-3's and you're right as the plating was not good.   I think i am going to pass on the chrome tank car and get the regular painted ones.  I know the truck couplers are OUT of scale but i didnt care.  I dont crush cans on my forehead but i seen guys do that and i dont get it ? maybe its a male ego thing i guess......

Hello Mr. Joe Satnik..

well i found a MTH railking santa fe caboose # 30-7720 for 19.95 and it on its way to my apt.  now i guess i have a caboose so next are the freight cars and there so many to choose from  "HELP"  LOL.  Joe how good are the chrome plated plastic tank cars such as  MTH  "coors-light" beer  tanker ? are they good plating or easy to scratch ?

Hello Mr. Joe Satnik..........

wow that's MORE than i have SMILE.   my layout is just a plain old oval with 3 track yard, using the lionel fastrack o-36, 3 manual switches that's it.   i sure would like to put at least 10 plasticville buildings on it but i am on tight fixed income.   i have 2 williams engines sd-45 and 2-8-4 berkshire and williams 4 car semi-scale 60 foot madsions and one williams boxcar and rugged rails MTH caboose on the way.   what kind of engines you have ?

hello Joe Satnik........

oh yes !!!!!! i will be trying to find some Rugged Rail frieght cars, just needed at least 8 cars as my small layout is only 43 inches by 93 inches LOL.   too bad MTH didnt make a Rugged Rails auto carrier car but liked the railking #30-7628 with 4 bright colored cars.  Mr. Satnik.. do you have a layout yourself ?

hello Phillyreading and Joe Satnik......

thank you for helping me out... I found the "rugged rails" center cab steel caboose made by MTH, stock # 33-7810 for almost 20 dollars.  I think it will look good with my williams SD-45, next are few ( freight cars to go with it.

Hello Phillyreading.....

yes, thats too bad as theres few santa fe diesels and steamers in the williams line.  i just will have to look in the MTH railking line and see what they have LOL.

Hello rOgruth..............

oh ok, i wished  i can put in a simple high pitched whistle like with 2 wire hook up so i can least hear that.   Does anyone make that and not mult-sounds effect system ?  Sometimes simple is better

hello guys.........

  Do the late pre-bachmann williams berkshires (2007) come with "true-blast whistle" ? I wondered becasue i am hearing impaired 

Tiffany

    i think the bachmann-williams should be the same as the williams with no changes to it as thats what i hear and i hope they would not cheapen it, like switching to plastic gears and so on but i think the scale williams hudson would come with the front coupler for double heading but not sure.
    i have a bachmann-williams santa fe boxcar and it is very well made much to my surprise and this is my first bachmann-williams.
