make sure the decoder hasn't move in the tender

ps sorry about mt typing i am a fast typer

i honestly think you need to slow down because most of you posts make no sense whatsoever

don't you DARE make fun of that it's the turbo train it still holds the canadian railway speed record and OBVIOUSLY it looks bad it is rusded and the amtrack sheme it the ugliest one ever used on the turbotrain


here's another ugly one here's a coincadance it's amtrack!

here gene the link:

i talked to the Person who does the conversions Via e-mail and he said that he can do the conversion with the model that has sound.

im tring to convince my dad into getting a Bachmann j class 4-8-4 with sound converted into a CNR U4-a class Northern by the folks at esn model trains in Barrie, Ontario.
(www.esnmodeltrains.com)
he thinks it's not worth it to get a engine that works fine already converted inot something that might not work as well.
to the best of my understanding after the conversion the models are tested and all problems worked out. this is my favourite loco and I don't want to pay $3000+ for a brass model of it
if you have anything to say that could help me in my quest please feel free to say it!

i cant find it on the website can you please give me a link to it and here's the question that really matters how much does it cost?

Andy Fekete

weird i hav'nt seen it yet ill check it out.

i forgot when is the n&w j class coming out with sound?

thanks

the selkirk was not always a semi-streamlined engine. CPR had a normal unstreamlined version as well.

what about a CNR k5-a hudson?


so many locos and so little of them are affordable...sigh

i would like to see bachmann show a little more interest in our stuff im sure if they make the correct choice of loco they will make a lot of money of it. i with the b-man would see this topic

Gene pointed out what i think the problem is. there are a ton of canadian model railroaders but hardly ary on the board i wish there was a way to get more of them to use it.

Jim i like the idea! What about a CNR 6060 in spectrum the only company that makes a non-brass model of it it IHC and its not a mass-produced model (and neither is it a deatailed one) That would be great i'd definately get one

I've seen tons of requests on the new board (which i love!) and I can't help but notice the fact that bachmann has only 2 Canadain loco's that i know of both of wich are not exactly very prototypical. They are both CNR and i honestly think that bachmann should have a few more than 2. I'm not trying to critisize bachmann as this is my opinion but does anybody agree?
I know i would definatly love to see a CNR U4-a class 4-8-4 as i only know of one company that makes it. it's a brass model that costs over $3000 (cnd), CNR S1-f MIkado or a CPR 4-6-4 royal hudson, 4-4-4 Jubilee or a massive CPR 2-10-4 selkirk

Does anybody agree or have any other recomendations?
