Hello everybody

My class III "Port Nicole Railroad" purchased some old engines from different companies. In the Port Nicole shops some elements were added, like MU-hoses, MU plugs and cables on the axles. Decals were printed on my own ALPS printer. This engine was bought from the Baltimore and Ohio, where it was #928

Here is the trainmaster #28

Hello everybody

Here are some modifictions I've made on a Bachmann Alaska GP40-2.

I added extra headlights on the roof (with SMD light), a snowplow, separate grab irons, electronic bell, winterisation hatches and as biggest change the famous L-shaped window. Still some details need to be added, like airhoses and windows. Also I painted the railings yellow and I changed the numberboards. Although it isn't a 100% match to the real locomotive, is has all the specific features that the Alaska GP40-2 has.









Best regards from Switzerland

Hello Robin

I know the place...the line is locally called "the melchnauerli"

Nearly all my trains are from the Canadian Pacific, Alaska Railways and my free-lanced Railroad, and my collegue has Canadian Pacific and Canadian National as theme.

You mean the Xrot from the Rhätische Bahn?

Hello Robin

We are you going to live? I live in the bernese Oberland, in a small town near Spiez. We are a small group of 4 SBB (swiss federal railways) Traindrivers and two of us (including myself) also build in On30. The other two only build in HO.

For example, here are some pictures of my rebuild Bachmann Mogul, using Conny parts.

Hello everybody

Is it possible to order the "metal" trucks from the McKinley cars? I have already two of those beautifull cars with interiour lights, but now I was able to order three extra cars from an startset. In this set the trucks are made of plastic. Is it better to change them, or is the rolling quality from the plastic trucks the same as the standard trucks? I'm aware of the fact that those cars remain "dark", because the lightset isn't build in also.

With the best regards from the (still white from yesterday's snow) Swiss alps

Hello Burlington

I'm about to start this bash:

It could also fit your GP40 body I guess...
