Hi guys,

I have several Intermountain grain cars (model No 67065), in which the in-built weights are loose and move about a lot. I cannot see any way to get into these cars to fix it without trying to force them open in some way.

Anybody had a similar issue? Any suggestions for opening up the car?

Thanks, John

I've been looking around trying to find some of these Southern Pacific wood chip cars in HO scale.  I can't find any that are like the one in the picture. I've noticed Joe Fugate has some on his layout, not sure if they're scratchbuilt.  Exactrail has a version but not the kind I'm looking for.  Any info on them would be appreciated 

Can anyone suggest a good replacement speaker for a Proto2000 SW9/900/1200 with the factory speaker in the fuel tank?  I'd like the replacement to remain in that location.  The factory version is 1-3/32" (1.09375") diameter and 5/32" (0.15625") thick.

I discovered an old Tyco 2-8-0 today that is still in kit form. My quest is what does it take to get one of these to be a smooth runner other then a new motor and gears? Price unknown.

For several reasons I have decided to stick with HO. Once I get my layout started in the spring I'll elaborate.

Thanks for any suggestions on the Tyco.

Jack
