Love the SP look, and the UP, I like the UPs without the aluminum gloss on the trunks.

I can get some more pics of the UP if you like. I'll also get some pics of my challenger once I get it back from K-10's.

I bought a new engine Thursday during K-10's third thurday train running session and decided to share it with you all! It's an FP7 A unit with DCC and sound by InterMountain. It was only 120 buck, new and everything, a deal I just couldn't pass up! I took some pictures of her. It's a Southern Pacific (black widow) paint sceme

Picture 3



Picture 4



I decided to post a picture of my Dash 8-40C as well. (DCC, no sound)

Lets use this one.

I want Donald, Douglas, Edward, Duke, Lady, Diesel.

That wo my wish list.

Hey GG? Shut it. I was usein' sarcasm....

And I've seen a 'real' Thomas train before on track. The engineer of the Dash could've had an injury. Challenger could be there accidentally.

Anything can happen given the term.

Alex

James arrived today!
Too bad I had my first wreck on my layout with him...

I was running my Challenger and James on track one and my Dash 8-40C on track two.(I am still working on the third and fourth...possibly fifth tracks, or else there wouldn't be more than one train on a track.) I left for two seconds to get a soda(will never do this ever again as it is very foolish.) and when I came back I found my Challenger lightly bumping James's brake van. I ran to turn the engines off, but I accidentally turned off James...VERY BAD! My Challenger continued going and pushed James's coaches off the track, and I quickly turned it off. James's tender was knocked off and the first half of my Challenger was knocked off as well.(First and second trucks, leaving the third and fourth still on.) Well, some of James's cars spilled onto the second track....and here comes my Dash. Before I could move the cars it smashed into the fuel tanker, and the cars uncoupled from the engine and it continued on before I stopped it, it was fine, unlike the first couple of cars in it's train...they flipped off the track and landed on their sides, now if this was real, the fuel tank would've burst into flames. Lucky it wasn't real eh? Still, I'm never going to leave my trains unattended ever...EVER...again if they're on the same track, and probobly never anyways.

It's just my luck that my first wreck ever would be an extremely bad one eh? Yup.


Anyways, back to James. He runs very nicely...but when I use him with the Zephyr it makes a loud buzzing noise. Why is this? The Zephyr says that it can use one DC loco on the number "00", and so that's what I'm doing.

Otherwise, he still runs very nicely, Zephyr or Bachmann controller.

Any help with the buzzing issue?

Alex

It looks like it gets to be a smaller radius on the lower lever, near side. Do you have straight sections put inbetween the curves at the far end? My eyes are extremely bad for a 13-year-old, and I can't see back there...Soryy for all the questins, I just want to get it right!

Alex

Okay, thanks Mr. Bach-Man!

Alex

Oh, I see, well I'm sorry if I'm just starting to watch the show again.

Alex

Umm...Alright then. LOL

Alex

Pardon my idiocy, but, huh??

I can sure picture Edward.

I the backround the sun is setting and the light is just right, reflecting off his perfect blue paint! Birds sing and the opera plays holy music! Can't waiiitttt!!!!!

I agree, nothing ever beats the original characters.  It's another great reason for us to be excited for Edward and Mavis.  Personally I like the idea of Salty coming out because he is one of my favorite S6-beyond engines, in fact one of my favorite diesels.   

I remember when I was little it was always:
Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, THOMAS! I used to watch Thomas every second of every day, I still do when I have the chance, and find new videos on youtube!

I remember one specific thing though: Nothing in my opinion ever beat the originals.

Alex

I would say 18" would be tight. Probobly 22", but I'll let the Bach-Man answer, seeing as you seem to only want him to answer.

Alex

Back on topic? Okay.

How are the new rolling stock? (I'm going to get the old rolling stock first, but I'de like to know for the future )

I bet the new Edward is going to be a GREAT looking model if its takin' them this long. Juuuust wait for it.
