Track looks best when covered with moving trains. I am using Kato unitrack. This is not proto-typical at all. I ignore it's faults and just enjoy...
My biggest problem with my AC4400 was figuring out how to get the ditch lights out without breaking them. The rest was pretty easy. RICK
I don't remember exactly but it had to be a Bachmann. I wanted a B&O train because they were closest to my house. Early on I had a 2-8-2, a...
Do you hear a clcking noise when it runs? It could be that the drivers are out of alignment. If so open up the bottom and adjust the middle gear...
B&O Cincinattian pacific B&O Cincinattian pacific and a 5 car set of passenger cars. Mr. Kato are you listening? Rick:tb-wink:
Jeez! And "WE" complain about the price of gas. Great little module! I love it. Rick

Dear fellow N scalers: I am stumped with an issue on my old Arnold Pacific. I recently picked it up in used condition. The problem is that it...
WHOOPS! Sorry about the redundant info. Somehow I missed your Rowa post Tony. How is the Pacific coming? Seeya! RICK

My son loved those things. When he was young he could spend an hour or so playing with them in the hobby store while I was free to roam around. If...
Thank You! Thanks for the tip. I ordered a powered A unit to go with the dummy I picked up cheap on eBay. I can't wait to try it out. RICK
We took a ride on the Strassburg railroad! They are putting the original road names back on their equipment. Kinda nice. RICK
Yeah, E-mail the dummy you jerk! Funny story! And when you email him, tell him what humping boxcars means too. RICK
Jason - Your signal blocks the view of the connection. Any more pics? How'd you do it? RICK
Tony - If you look at the tail car on that set, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. It is a dead match for the B&O river series cars. It...
That's OK - We domers know better than to hold our breath for proto cars. RICK
I hope you get your Pennsy run. I wish they'd do another B&O run. Those things are near impossible to find. RICK
