Well, i didn't know i had 11" curves and bought more thinking they were bigger and they were the same so I'm taking them back tomorrow and I'm buying some 19" curves so it should look pretty good going around.

It's my DD40X now.

Are you kidding me? I JUST bought a old bachmann DD40X and there making new ones?! Man that stinks, the kind i got if int he old white box, i know nothing about it, anyone know how they run or the minimum radius?

So its a: BDZ class German loco?

1: Anyone know where I can find a N scale Santa FE SD45-2?

2: Who makes any other Santa Fe steam and diesel locomotives?

I don't know diesels but i might know this one.....er........thats a N&W J class!!!  but uh really........

Class: DR 
Country: Germany
Road # 123 Sesame Street 

Is that one of those US steel company GE things?

DING DING!!!

Thats right Alex, the awkward Santa Fe 4-4-6-2

Your turn Alex

(Santa Fe Buff didn't know that *GASP*) lol jking........

When he says clean the freight cars in alcohol DO NOT get alcohol on the paint of the cars.

Of course people are going to say kato but to be honest, e-z track is not the best but if you build a railroad with it you got basically atlas track with a roadbed.....with e-z track you can go buy a 40 foot model power bridge and connect to ex track and make a river under it, its that easy anything with stander track is yours for the taking with e-z track, only downside is that when your making a trackside building you have to counter in the roadbed or get stander track and make transition to level ground then go back to e-z track when your done. If you ask me e-z track is the way to go, kato is not realistic enough to go spending all that money on, yeah atlas track u get all the glory of e-z track but you gotta go ballasting all of it.

But in my full honest opinion the next layout i make will be Atlas track....why because its what everyone else uses and its been around for years so atlas had to have done something right....

Since i only have one, its gonna be my Santa FE GP40...lol

You can even post your favorite freight car if you have one..right now mine my 50 foot depressed center flat car with a transformer on hit but I'm hitting the trains store sometime this week and buying plenty of cars.

What no guesses?

I'll give you a hint...........Its not Rio Grande  but really, the hint is
J.B.L Trucking 

Heres your answer

Passenger Cars+18 radius curves=BIG problems

They might work for a while but 18 radii curves are bad, i have them and i plan on getting rid of them because there just too tight the best thing to do is get 22's it saves you int he long run because lets say u end up liking double stacker's, they'll go around 22's not 18's

Anything that has these n the side

Steam: Uhh idk, I like Santa Fe's 2-8-0's and 2-8-2's

OH!!!! And those Awesome Santa Fe fireless 0-8-0's

Diesel: CF7!!!!

Electric: someone who likes electrics can help me out but i think they called them "Terminals" 

In the instructions there should be a loco digram that shows you how to take the trucks bottoms off diesels to get to the gears to lube them, as for spectrum i have no idea, there well lubed though....
