No doubt the availability of the new K4 encouraged people to also buy the M1a/b. I think the two of them might look pretty darn good on the same...
BLW now has the M1 a on their "new at BLW" page, as of (as far as I know) today April 26th, and it will be in stock immanently.
I came into possession 10-12 years ago of a Roundhouse four pack of KCM&O 1910-20 era freight cars, that is, Kansas City, Mexico and Orient: a box...
I only wanted to know how likely or reasonable it was that it would take the shop so long to get the loco back. I never implied that the problem...
Well, here's my story. I didn't like the large tender on my Bachmann 4-6-0 and so took it to a shop that says they do repairs, gave them the ten...
I'm wondering how much time, typically, it takes if you send something in to Bachmann under warranty, not for a simple replacement, but to be...
It surely must be! And, so it wouldn't be lonely, I took a Model Power mogul and dressed it up as M&StL 312. Plus, although I'm not a great fan...
Thank you, hoyden---that seems to give me sufficient confirmation to use the black and red on my cabooses. Plus, yesterday on the auction site I...
I became interested during the past ten months or so in the Minneapolis & St. Louis and I now have, decorated for the M&StL, several cars, three...
Yes, I also have one of those ConCor 2-10-2s and it is one mighty locomotive, runs smoothly, too. I was lucky in that mine ran well from the...
Thaanks, everyone, for your help. I ordered a 60-786 and should have it by week's end, and even if it doesn't work out, I now am now more fully...
Thanks, I guess I'll have to do that, but I suppose it's really easier than scouting for other decals that might match. I don't have the...
Quite accidentally six months ago I came across my newest "railroad of interest." I had bought a steam loco on eBay and I normally would have...
I'm not sure of the date either, but it was a long time ago. The really old, original Kadee cars had those wheels, which were kind of an...
JoeS---In the opening post you said "remember I use jorgers" and I wonder what is meant by "jorgers"? (I had to override the spell check on...
Since Bachmann wisely offered its ten wheeler with a long distance tender, I think a train with plenty of Pullman sleepers would be logical.
Well, I must say, though, being a fan of the Erie, Kadee (MT) screwed box car 20870 up. I'd been eagerly waiting to see them make an Erie boxcar...
In regard to M&StL paint schemes, my interest in this road is only a few months old. Going by the models available it was colorful, all right....
The car is an early MT (i.e., Kadee) car. Its green color is not quite dark enough to be a forest green, but it is a strong green. I hadn't...
I have a Kadee M&StL outside braced wood box car, and I like it, but I don't like its bright green color. If you're an old wooden box car, it's...
