Athearn plastic SD45 handrails

Will the RTR plastic handrails fit the older "blue box"  SD45's ??   I heard that the RTR shell is a different mold.  Thanks PK

Athearn HO RTR SD40T-2 out of stock?

Just was informed that Athearn had some issues with this recent run. Damaged shipments and very limited availability. I placed my pre order back in September last year and only recently got 1 of the 2 I ordered. Has anyone else had problems with this run? Seems like the Rio Grande and Southern Pacific runs are out of stock. However the Union Pacific and KCS units are still in stock? Did they over sell their quota?

Anyone else had problems getting these?

Just kind of curious............

Scanners

Does anyone know when or if railroads will be switching to digital broadcasting? In the near future I am planning on purchasing a portable scanner to listen to train broadcast and if I would purchase an analog one; how long it would still be effective.

MTH NS/ Heritage EMD SD70ACe

Does anyone have hands-on experience with the MTH NS/NYC Heritage EMD SD70ACe Locomotive w/ DCC & SOUND or any other road name? 

I'm finding it hard to locate reviews on these products (Walther's has a sale on the NYC model currently that makes the price attractive).

Thanks

3D Printers outside the U.S.

I wanted to ask for some information on 3D printing in countries outside of the U.S.  For the membership living outside the U.S., do 3D printers have searchable online catalogs like Shapeways has?  http://www.shapeways.com  Can you order items from their websites directly?

Is it possible to collect a number of links to these companies that have model railroad items?

Atlas RS-1 body and a RSD-4/5 chasis

Has anyone tried the above combination? I am not even sure this will work. I am working in HO Scale.

I need an RSD-1 and that is the closest I can come up with right now. I know it doesn't get me the correct truck but I think I am willing to live with it for now. Fuel tank and air tanks I can scratch build.

Anyone aware of an RSD-1 available. I have not run across one at all. This why I am trying to play Dr. Frankenstein.

Hey guys,

Couple new pics from Allagash country (Maine!). Some big changes have come to the Allagash resulting in scenes like the following. 

Moderator note: Threads with lots of pictures work best if the initial post is very brief and you post all the juicy content in the *first* comment post on the thread. That way the repeated first post on subsequent pages doesn't have a lot of content to scroll through to get to the rest of the thread. We moved the pictures down a post.

Proto 2000 - BL-2

I recently purchased a C&O BL-2 Proto 2000.  It is DC and I want to convert it to DCC.  Has anyone done this?
