Hello

For the past few years or so, I've acquired a fleet of three Stewart Alco C-628 locomotives (2 low-hood with big circuit board including mounted LEDs and 1 high-hood with conventional circuit board and standard LEDs). I also have one Alco C-630 that's high-hood and very much the same as the high-hood C-628. These units have made a nice addition to my roster and really capture the feel of how massive the prototypes of these engines were.

Hi all.

Does anyone know where I can find pictures and information about the pipe trains the California Northern railroad used to run? I'd like to model it, but pics and info are very hard to find.

Thanks,

Hi, I am trying to figure out the kind of locomotive I used to see in the U.P. of Michigan. It looked like a GP20 but had 3 axles per truck instead of 2. It reminded me of a SD40-2 except half the length. Any ideas on what kind of locomotive it might be? thanks!

Hi all,

I have 2 Rivarossi locomotives, a UP 4-8-4 FEF and a UP 4-8-8-4 Challenger.

Their tenders are identical, and they share a common issue: when they run, the tender wobbles visibly. I know these models are a bit outdated and have been surclassed by Atheran and other manufacturers, but I'm not a rivet counter and they work fine for me...except for the tender wobble.
