Here are two more shots of the 6028 near my house in Augusta, GA. This is the spur to the Martin-Marietta quarry. Sorry for the blur - I was...
I would think that most would say Kadee couplers are your best bet.
That image is really cool! Were those units pulling a gravel train by any chance? The reason I ask is that I saw those two exact units at the...
Just had a friend switch from Digitrax Super Chief to the NCE Power House Pro radio. He is really happy with his new set. The big thing for him...
