I've seen the FA1's also and they do look very nice. I've been thinking about purchasing a set. I model the 1978-1980 time frame, but just might...
When my wife and I finally built a house a train room was thoughtfully included. I started out building a large layout. It soon got the best of...
Before I got married my wife learned of my love of trains. She got used to it, and our kids grew up knowing dad loved trains. They are very...
I use a walk around throttle built by Innovative Train Technology in California. With this unit I can use push button or knob throttle control,...
Absoultely! I model the 1978-1980 time frame so they fit perfectly. I love trains, but a train is just more fun if it has a caboose on the end!
Who makes this transfer caboose kit that Leon spoke of? Where could I get one? I'm like Leon in that I really wish that the manufacturers would...
I've got a pair of Kato GP 35's that are great. A very close second with me would be my Proto 2000 GP 20. It's a terrific locomotive also.
Colonel, I visit both forums along with others (mainly FRISCO). Sure would like to see more activity on the MKT forum as well.
The UP Marysville sub between Kansas City and Lawrence, KS is great.
Glad to see there are some other folks out there who want FRISCO and MKT power. I could not believe that PROTO 2000 brought out the non dynamic...
I'm a man of simple tastes. I'll go for the good old GP20. A true classic. Can't be beat.
Bob, it sure would be great if we could get some locomotives decorated for FRISCO. I couldn't believe that Proto 2000 brought out the non dynamic...
Personally I feel we need some locomotives factory decorated for FRISCO and MKT. Us guys who model these roads could really use a break. Seems...
Sorry, guess I should have mentioned that. I'm modeling Union Pacific.
I'm preparing to detail a Proto 2000 GP20 and GP9. I'm uncertain of the placement of the winterization hatches. On the GP20 to place the hatch...
The Proto 2000 GP 7, GP 9, or GP 20's are excellent locomotives. My GP 20 is wonderful.
UP Guy, thanks for the reply. From other e-mails I've received it does seem that the color of the handrails varies from unit to unit. It seems...
Were handrails on UP Geeps and SD's painted white up to the first stanchion during the period the "We Can Handle It" slogan was used? Were the...
Last I knew there were two MKT cabooses (cabeese?) in Neodosha, KS. They were sitting on blocks beside the former FRISCO main and just southeast...
While I am a FRISCO and MKT fan I've always been a closet UP fanatic. Of the current railroads there is no doubt that the UP is the best there...
