I'm planning to take a W/WBB diesel to run at Houston Tinplate on sunday!

I use a z-750 with the first remote wands.  My W/WBB items work.  It could be an issue with the button on the 750 controller box.

I would like WBB to hve a amall 0-4-0 or 0-6-0.  I like PRR, but a common engine would be nice.

And having another caboose would be nice!

Be like Packet radio:  Keep resending!

CGW went into CNW.  CNW into UP

MKT into MP  MP into UP.  (Although the UP bought the MP in 1982, the official merger did not occur onto later.  MKT had some "poison bill" paper which the UP owned MP cleaned up before the MP "official" merger.

KCS is still on its own.

Some US PW units ended up in Mexico's DF, that is Mexico City.  WBB did one from Canada, so what about the southern end of NAFTA?

Cancelled, I think

Try Town and Country Hobboes for LED's

Milwaukee Road with Alco trucks would be perfect. Even CB&Q wouldn't be bad.

What, no KCS in red?

671 does have a point.  Some transformers have voltages which start not at 0, but 5 or more volts.  If the transformer is not completely in the off position, some current could be getting to the track, keeping the e-unit on.  Also see if the transformer is not placing power to the track in the off position by cheeking the outputs of the transformer with a voltmeter.   If you don't have one, get one.  One tool you will use a lot!

I think WBB will have a lesser number of roadnames per year, but will rotate the names.

I don't think Marty is back selling after a personal event.  That's bad.  he was my W/WBB to go merchant.

W did have various tenders for sale every so often.  I did get a PRR streamlines for my Lionel turbine, which did not have one.

Oh, I did see the S-70.  But Houston was the only authority who got the large cab on the first order, which also was the roll out customer.  I was refering the fact all S-70 customers now have units with the same cab size.

Sorry about any confusion.

Houston METRO is now getting its second order for the S-70 LRT railcars.  These are an "add on" to the UTA order, so they will have the small nose.  Only HM had the large nose on the roll out order.  Hence, there can be one body needed for all the transit useers of S-70.  Hint:  HM does run two car sets, so dummies here would work in models!

Er, KCS and MKT did not have them either!
