Installing sound in a HO 0-6-0 Tank Loco
Has anyone upgraded their Bachmann Spectrum 'HO' 0-6-0 Saddle Tank Loco (DCC onboard) with Sound?
I have found some info on this upgrade but I would like to get as much info as I can before attempting the upgrade.
Thanks.

Plastic Pellet Covered Hoppers
What type of covered hopper would have been used to haul plastic pellets in the mid-seventies?
I'm thinking ACF 5701cf plastic pellet hoppers. Is that correct? Were there any other cars used?
How were they marked? Mostly leased?
thanks

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

Rivarossi Alleghany Screw Sizes
Hello I have a Rivarossi Alleghany I am putting back together It is missing the screw to hold the boiler on and also the screw that holds the cab on. I was hoping to get screws from my local hobby shop. If I was to get a tap set could I tap new non metric holes for the screws say something like 2/56. I never realy tried taping for new screws but it looks easy. I would need to also do the tender shell. Any ideas or help apreciated.

Tichy Train Group kits
I found some of these at our LHS over the weekend, and bought the USRA Conversion cement car. I got it home and really dug into it and found it to be much more detailed than I thought. Considering the price (14.50), i am amazed at how much detail goes into these kits!
I'm curious if anyone else builds these at all, and if so what do you think of them?
Also, if you have picks of the cement car I'd love to see them for inspirational purposes.
