WIP Update #2 -VIA Rail F40PH-2 in N Scale

Thu, 2019-02-07 03:16 — Roger Litwiller

With yesterdays ice storm I was able to install the decoder and gloss coat the shell of the VIA Rail F40PH-2 in N Scale, in the early small Canadian Flag scheme.

I airbrushed several very light coats of Humbrol Clear Gloss Varnish on the Kato shell in preparation for applying decals.

Help Identifying a CSX Locomotine

Back during this past summer I bought a couple of HO, CSX locomotives from an estate sale in Jacksonville. I got 2 locomotives, and a steel coil car. I was informed by a relative that the gentleman who owned these was a retired executive of CSX (headquartered in Jacksonville).

One of the locos was an Overland brass model,...

HO Precision Craft FA1/FA1 – back/back or elephant style?

Sat, 2019-01-26 11:10 — Mark Mathu

In the mid 2000s, Precision Craft Models made an HO scale FA1/FA1 model with ESU LokSound DCC. The pair of models only had one decoder which controlled both units via jumper wires, thus the two units needed to be operated as a pair.

As manufactured by Precision Craft, were these FA1/FA1 pairs wired to run back-to-back, or elephant style? I'm guessing back-to-back since that was probably where the jumper wires were.
