Bob,
Do you have any pictures of cars that you have added power to? Pictures of any of your powered projects would be great!!

Hi Lee
I have a few pictures, will try to post them later.

I've been using the GE 70 Ton for the drives, very versatile chassis and side frames can be replaced. I have a bunch of old Roundhouse 34' Overton coaches and rpos I plan to power when I get time.

Thanks

Bob,
These projects of yours have helped me a lot. I have successfully taken a Athearn SW-7 chassis, and powered a tender. I used this tender to power a Bachmann "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" engine, and turned it into a NICE ;D Cab Forward. I have decided to label this unit as a "Dashing Turtle" unit that MR had a few years ago...

I just cannot find the decals :(

Again, thanks Bob!!

Did Bachmann make a Chattanooga Choo-Choo? I thought that was made by Tyco.
