Detail Associates grills

Mon, 2013-06-24 17:13 — mrfecteau

Hello all. I know it is a long shot, but does anyone have a set of Detail Associates F7 grills, part #229-2704, they would like to sell? They seem to be back ordered until December. Thanks for looking.    Also, I love all the great photos and info that I have found on this forum and the great job the MRH staff is doing with ezine. I look forward to every months release.         Mark                      

N Scale BQ23-7

Thu, 2013-06-20 10:58 — 3rdboxcar

I have always had a soft spot for SCL's BQ23-7's, since I have learnt how to draw to produce 3D printed objects this was one project that had been on the bucket list for a long time.

First task was to assemble everything I needed, an Atlas B23-7, a set of Blomberg truck frames from Atlas, decals and paint for CSX.

I dismantled the locomotive and measured up and drew up the cab in Sketchup.

DASH 8 radiator upgrades

Does any detail manufacturer make a part for "upgrading" a Dash 8 with the split cooling modifications? Or, has anyone attempted to kitbash or scratchbuild said modifications?

Fox Valley N Scale

Sat, 2013-06-15 06:21 — indy_troglodyte

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anybody is running Fox Valley diesel locos on their N scale pikes? I am looking to buy some new motive power in the near future and while I love Kato I am always open to different manufacturers. Basically I want to know if Fox Valley runs more like a Bachmann or a Kato. What is the level of detail also.Thanks

Older Version Athern axle gears p/n 60023

Fri, 2013-05-31 08:28 — Redvdub1

My club has several older Athearn diesels that we want to "rejuvenate".  Some of them need to have their gears replaced (Ernst gears...really noisy).  Trouble is..some of them have the old metal outside frames and we need to replace the Ernst axle gears with the original Athean axle gears p/n 60023.  These 60023s are slightly larger in diameter than the newer 60024s and the hubs are wider...they are not interchangeable.  I have tried my usual Athearn sources and they don't have these 60023ss.  Does anyone know of a source?

Cleaning paint off loco windows

Mon, 2013-05-27 15:56 — kfglover

My masking did not work 100 percent. I'm looking for suggestions for cleaning the paint of the windows. These are American Model Builders (AMB) laser cut windows for a SW-1.

All ideas welcome!
