Has anyone got theirs yet?  I want to hear all the wonderful reviews...... yea

 Soldered the wires directly to the pickups then tapped screws into the frame halves and connected the pickup wires to the screws. Still does not work properly, looks like another junker from Bachmann going into the parts box. I also have a new f-3, the motor seems to be dragging at full throttle on my dcc controller, barely pulling eight cars. Any ideas, suggestions. 

 I was wondering has anyone modified the copper contacts that touch the bottom of the frame halves? I was thinking i could solder a wire to that and tap into the bottom of the frame, any suggestions would be appreciated.

 Thats amazing work, i thought i was looking at a real building. The picture of the outside looks great, nice work.

Yes, thats the same problem i had. It sounds real simple till you actually build one.

 I have a Reading sd-45 and i tried to couple it to a lifelike gp-20 with the truck mounted coupler and it keeps derailing the gp-20, i tried using a long shank coupler no change. The curves i am using are 11.25 any suggestions.

Thanks

 Does anyone know if they are still making these from Bachmann, they are not EZ MATE ,they came in a pck of short and medium lengths and they were super easy to install. Checked Bachmann site no luck.

Everyone wants them, how come you wont make them? We all need them for our soundcar projects, hence thats why they are always sold out.

 How come nobody makes a do it yourself install decoder for o scale? Im thinking along the lines of some of the n and ho decoders but made for o scale. I think this would be a good idea if someone wanted to buy a cheap loco and install for themselves, and then just add a speaker.

 I wished to purchase extra trucks for a powered boxcar for sound and they are all sold out, does anyone have an idea where i can purchase these?   

Has anyone made a dummy out of one of the new f-3 b units? I want to save the original chassis so does anyone know what trucks to use? I also want to put a sound decoder in the b unit.

Oh cool, thanks for the pictures.

Did they have more than one boxcar with the Susie Q logo on it? For some reason i remember reading about it but am not sure.

Does anyone know if this tourist train is still in operation?
