Hello all,

 

I`m Dennis .....I`m new to the Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine.

 

I have a question.......

 

Are replacement motors for Proto 2000 loco`s hard to come by?

 

I am in need of one for a GP30......one for this loco.......

Thanks.

My first attempt at weathering a locomotive...

My very first attempt at weathering a locomotive.  Man this took some serious time to master...  
 
This RDG GP30 started out as a Proto 2000 and was my very first locomotive that I bought and what started me on the path to modeling the Reading Lines.

Does anyone know of a source for either a complete shell or just the cab for a GP40-2WB? TIA.

Front Range GP9

I have a Front Range GP9 I bought in, label says 1987. I have never run it. I have an idea for it. Are front Range engines good runners? It has a can motor, flywheels,  4 axle pick-up. Only thing I have read about was about the cab window being too low or something like that. It should be easy to put a DA-SR decoder in it. SO,  my question is, are they good runners and worth the effort? Thanks, Brian

Made a Decision on Operations for My Layout

Fri, 2014-03-21 05:45 — Retired Alex

I decided last year to get back into the model railroading and have spent the winter cleaning out the basement spare room and unpacking/assessing my equipment after 20 years in storage. I had a layout with completed trackwork and some scenery and have been looking it over to ascertain the needs to rewire it for DCC.
