With Scaletrains recent  announcement of SD40 units, I am wondering and I also asked them why no G&W paint scheme...even if its just the paint and no decals.  Is there or still is licencing issues with using that?  I know Intermountain trains had some issues previously, but have not heard anything since, and was just wondering.

So in my never ending quest to own as many Locomotives as possible with the L&N , SCL, Family Lines logo.

i came across this in an antique store for sale along with two other L&N Locos, .. 

from what i have discovered these were a rare site only 10 were ever built  and were all for the Sea Board RR.

So i have one Bachman BQ23-7 Locomotive in its original box, is this something i should hang onto, or rebuild it with a better motor and frame? and put it on my layout? 

Hi All,

Went to see some trains today with my camera.  Found a couple scenes that you might enjoy looking at. 

In the spirit of the holidays I'd like to share them with You.

Hope the ensuing year is Happy, Healthful and Prosperous for you.

I’m looking forward to see your prototype photos too again this year.  

A rather interesting discussion I ran across on another forum,..

Does anyone have any suggestion for better horn sound? These have the most cheesy horn sound I've ever heard from a modern DCC loco. Certainly the real Centipede horns did not sound like this. The horn sounds like 1950's Lionel.
