Hey Kevin, look for Youth in Model Railroading. We will have our G scale display out (only the second time in 4 years). I'll be there both days (assuming the Train for Chicago Arrives on time for a change)

Look for Will.

Thanks Larry and Kevin, I'll run down to Caboose Hobbies tomorrow and head for the parts department, or see if I can order it through Precision.

Trying to have my Connie finished for the next train show at the end of the month, so I am running out of time.

Got the Front End work done today, just need to reassemble and hook up the headlight again, then I get to do the work on the Tender, and finally, installing a new Compressor.

Its been an intersting project so far, and I know the warranty is now worth nothing since its been so customized. Guess I better find some money to invest in a spare drive unit....just in case.

Trackside does not carry it, nor does Ozark Miniatures.

This has been bugging me all day. I've decided to do a little kit bashing on my Spectrum 2-8-0, rebuild the coal bunker, move the headlight, basic things like that.

The one thing I really wanted to add was a Westinghouse Cross Compound Compressor, much like that found on the K-27's and K-28's. I work on GB&L 40 (ex-Georgetown Loop) at the Colorado Railroad Museum, which is an outside frame 2-8-0 that has a lot in common with the Spectrum 2-8-0, which is where I got the inspiration since she has a cross compound compressor.

Does Bachmann, or anyone else for that matter, sell just the compressor off the K-27? I mean, some one had to have broken one off by now and needed a replacement. I just happen to need one for kitbashing.
