I have the Details West Tandem wiper detail part and the windshield wiper set. They are for the EMD diesels and I have the Athearn GP35 RTR that comes without wipers added. 

Maybe those of you with skill and good eyes could help me with any suggestions for installing. I know the drill size but have no idea how the tandem arm attaches to the wipers. I'll have enough trouble cutting them off the sprues withy a new #11.

Thanks to all who post in MRH with helpful hints, ideas and feedback.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here.  I am having issues getting Bachmann Spectrum Dash 8-40C locomotives running in DCC.  I bought six of these sealed, in the unopened original packing box (a 6-pack) several years ago.  They are the newer Spectrum locos with the larger box, with the frame and shell separated.

In my earliest days as a rail fan, I was around a lot of C&O power in Huntington, WV. It was predestined as I was born in the C&O Hospital there. Huntington also afforded the opportunity was watch trains from the B&O and NW as they also came into town or nearby Ceredo Kenova. The N&W was mainly coal drags out of southern WV going to the barge loading docks of the Ohio River. Of note was the use of steam to switch the cars into the mid-late 50s. They could sometimes block access to the Dreamland Pool from the parking “field”. What a shame, right?

Hi everyone,

How do you model locomotive beacon lights from the 1960s through the 1980s in HO? Particularly earlier styles like the Pyle Beacon? Light types and detail #'s would be appreciated. Thanks!
