Got my EVA unit as well as a couple of FL12s and an EM13. Sure enough, Kato did not update the mechanism on these units. The motor car has the...
I'll try to get a few pictures in as well!
Hello everyone! Just wanted to let everyone know about the Pensacola Model Train Show presented by the Pensacola Model Railroad Club is coming up...
The board is actually designed for DC. Check the position of the board and pickups. The flat part of the pickup sits flush against the pickup...
The response I got from Kato when I asked about what decoder method they were going with today was that it wasn't finalized. They did say that the...
I was just given a Bachmann Turbotrain set that has obviously seen better days. Apparently whoever owned it before the person who gave it to me...
The Bachmann HHP-8 has a switch that allows two rail or catenary power.
Looks to be the one made by Hobbytrain. For the coupler, if I remember correctly these take a British coupler called Dapol Easi-Fits due to the...
I used a Digitrax DB150 to do mine.
Odd, I've installed FL12s into my one of my Kato bullet trains under address 1000 and it took it just fine. I also know several others who have...

Aww, that's a shame. I appreciate the help though. Hopefully he'll make a comeback.
Is LookModel still in business? If they are, have they changed their website or contact info at all? I'm looking to get a set of their Pacific...
Probably not, considering that the Superliners are already readily available. That and I can just see it now, Kato selling a 20 pack of autoracks...
Looks like Amtrak Phase IVb to me on the side of an autorack. Bring on the Autotrain! Goodbye wallet.
There's a company by the name of Dragon Models that produces various 1/144 scale military models, which while not technically N scale, are close...
On this caboose, the trucks are held on with a friction pin. Easiest way I've found is to use a small flat head screwdriver to very gently pry the...
I imagine that has to be an error of some sort. As you mentioned, they already have a new product number for #3985 with a Tsunami.
Go to Athearn's website and find a Challenger you like. If the announced date that is listed is from 2009 or newer, it has a Tsunami. Look for the...
