Would love to see a pic.

I too just found Super Clean but did not say Casterol on it.  Is this Walmart the same stuff?  Found this which is maybe it

I agree. Where to find it?

I have some pink and white grease from bachmann.  What is the difference?  I don't see it listed on the site so do they not make it anymore?

I'v got one of the Christmas red ones that say built 12/94 and a Christmas white one that says built 12/97 and neither work now.  Are the gears the same?  The red one also takes pickup from the trailing car too, unlike my white one .

Barry, where can a see a pic and instructions on one of these.  Gonna seriously consider one if looks like I can handle it.

Ok so in English please.......

So what exactly is the difference in the 2-8-0 I bought a couple years ago and this new one?

All ears!!!!

Is he saying they burn out and have to redo all the time?  Impressive result

What I want is a big puffer for outside use where you can really see it like the MTH video I saw for a 2-8-0 a while back. Unfortunately, it required the use of their control board. 

I guess I just didn't realize how much difference there was between the engine and the cars.  Unfortunately the AMS/Accucraft will just have to wait for now with the price they are at now.

The other question related to the cars I have now vs the Bachmann J&S as to differences.

I was recently looking at my Spectrum SPC 4-4-0 which I have not used in a while and had it next to my 2-8-0 and Shay.  It seems kind of small.  I know they were old engines and were not as large in the real world, but I'm talking about comparing the windows and interior cab height.  Is it just my imagination or is it not really 1:20.3.  The reason I was comparing is that I have my son's old passenger cars (with plastic hand rails 97218) that came with his first standard 4-6-0 Deadwood (probably from 1995-96)  in storage and trying to decide on how they would look behind both vs the AMS/Accucraft ones which are A LOT MORE $ vs getting the Bachmann J&S. 

Also, are the cars with his old set the 1:20.3 or 1:22? And how do they compare to the current J&S cars?

As I recall I found them on utube.  But if you send me an email I'll send them as an attachment to you.

Do like my oldest used to do at Christmas and carefully open it to look then resell it. And she thought we didn't know at the time.  . So just be careful.
