I agree, we need a tender that is similar to a Hudson  tender with that rounded top panel on the sides.

Has anyone made a sound car using a coal hopper car?

Coke and a classic locomotive, it does not get any better than that, well done

Does anyone know how to get them apart? I would like to put headlights in mine.

Bachmann used to make fall color trees.....

Yea, the History Channel is horrible now. Its the Pawn Stars channel now. What ever happened to Trains Unlimited ?

I am having the same problem with mine also, the front set of driving wheels wont stay on the track in curves. I checked the gauge and its fine, adding weight wont help either, shelf queen now.

Does anyone know of a company that makes a spinning windmill like those used on a farm? I think i may have to adapt something myself. Thanks.

 I have a small area on my layout i was thinking of customizing one of these buildings. Has anyone done this and if so how diffacult was it to get the pre assembled building apart.

Another question would be is, do you remove the brush caps to solder the wires on or just leave them.

I would like to know if they sell the containers that go on your flat cars seperatley. For the price i think having a bunch of these painted differently would look pretty good.

 Skipgear, did you have to seperate the frame halves to do the conversion? It looks to me to isolate the motor this has to be done.

 Does anyone know how the roundhouse build is going? I was up there in the summer and i think it should be done by now, i went on their website and they have no pictures, except for the foundation.

 I will second that, they look really nice. Those h.o. guys get all the good stuff.

Iwish they would sell the j tender by itself.
