I posted about the seven Atlas SD-35's because, one would not expect that Atlas was in the frame rot club. I have not found any other Atlas...
It's been awhile since I've posted, but just to let you folks know. I have seven Atlas SD-35's that have Zinc Rot. They are from the 2009 time...
I had that same problem with one of the trucks on my Centipede that rrjim1 describes exactly. As he said, I just pushed it back into place, and it...
Well folks, as we use to say at the Telephone Company (I retired with 32 years), "the trouble came clear while testing" although it wasn't that...
Thanks rrjim1, I think your right. My system is a NCE Power Cab and I only use it "once in a blue moon", I'm really old school and still like DC...
I'm still waiting for Intermountain to make the ACL FT A/B's (black/yellow), which were cancelled, LOL. I assume the Seaboard F-3's were cancelled...
Does anybody know why Broadway didn't produce the Centipede in the "blue" demonstrator scheme in N-scale, one isn't listed on their site. They do...
When did you get the 00-90 screws from Fastenal? I can't find them on line under "machine screws", a search of their site turned up nothing, and...
You can try McMaster -Carr for #00-90 screws, the price for 50 steel screws is what you pay for ten brass in a hobby store. The brass and SS are...
I think that the Atlas switches of that time had wider tolerances. Almost of the locomotives of the time had narrow check gauges (flanges back to...
The pilot conversion 001 32 070 (1158, old#) for the Atlas/Kato RS-1 is still listed on the MT online store, black only, now $14.25. Some...
I mentioned the different motor on another forum when the NEW production GP9's were first released, Dec 2012. I guess I can't say which, but it...
OK, your heading threw me off. I don't know the history of Troller. Did MRC buy them? Anyway, if you need knobs try; http://www.reidsupply.com/,...
Lou D, I'm not familar with a MRC Troller power supply. However, if it's a crank type knob with a spinning handle, like was used on the metal...
I don't enjoy "tweaking" either, but I'm not above doing it. As to the microwave reference. Mine is a 25 year old Emerson (made in USA), that was...
Bill, I don't blame you one bit. I've been tinkering since 1969, with a hiatus between 1980 and 2010. I think the trains are better today, but...
Sorry to hear that Bill. Check the main thread again, I added new information about my lock-up problems. I guess I'm going to try and fix them,...
Since, Bill brought this thread forward, I'll repeat some of my comments about the drivetrain I made early on in this thread and mentioned on his...
Hi Bill, You found it! Check your other post. I type too slow to retype it here, I hope it's clear. Charley.
Bill, I reported the same problem with my first EM-1 #7614, on one of the forums, I can't remember which one???? Anyway, I fixed it by taking the...
