I think you should probably make your own faces so they can be costomized to your disire. Look at Sparkshot/Knuckles on youtube. He makes wikid good faces for his hornby engines. :P

What about "A Train Of Events"? It was filmed on the LMS line in England. It also has a bloody good crash scene. They hade to use model trains for that part though ::)

Oh God, Who doesn't love 4449?

What about 4446 8)? yes i do like 4449. :)
To be honest, I've never seen a picture of 4446 :-[. Is she one of those Black GS-4s or is she a GS-6? :-\

i would just call bachmann industries and ask if they can fix it or just get a new backmann james besides the hornby engines  are more expensive if we use american dollars, trust me i checked :) :) :) :) :)
Well that didn't stop me from buying a Bachmann Pannier and a Hornby Ex GWR 20 ton Breakvan. PLUS, I'm asking for the train set and Hornby henry for Christmas. I really like the fact that hornby's tender engines are tender driven. You can just pull the train with the tender only :P :P :P

Yea I know, but I read that Hornby's are much more durable. Plus they're more RWS Acurate, which is what im looking for. The Bachmann Engines start buggering out after 150 hours of usage. :(

Well i only run one engine at a time because i still use my DC controler. Aye, once he gets taken off, i put a new engine on say like, my praire. The engine will not move for at least a minute. Once it was really bad the no engine moved for at least THREE DAYS :o :o :o. Also, here's a list of all the engine i have and i'll see if that helps you guys.

A Bachmann Hogwarts Express Engine

A Vintage Lionel HO 2-4-2 Columbian

A vintage Lionel HO 0-4-0 Porter Diesel

A Roundhouse 2-8-0

A Bachmann 2-6-2 Prarie

A Bachmann 0-6-0 Pannier Tank 87xx (which is my name sake)

Just wanna see if that helps. I'm not bragging about the engines i have.

for those that didn't catch it on John's post above.  Smokes like an old Alco, but you have to love those double enders.

Was that the engineer in the REAR cab?  Or just a dead head?

Jim
Is that a class 52?
