Help with passenger car type

Tue, 2013-01-15 15:27 — david.haynes

I am not a passenger train modeler (yet!) but, as part of modeling the OBRY, I want to include their two coaches. These coaches are used to host a scenic trip with and optional dinner.

Can anyone tell me what type of coach the OBRY is pulling in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTijHBkgmMY? The best view starts around the 3:26 mark.

If you know of an N scale version of these, that information would also be great.

Thanks!

Steam loco repair

I took my Bachman steam loco apart and now I can't get it back together. Does anyone know of a shop that can repair it?

Unusual hoppers

Sun, 2013-01-13 03:03 — Toniwryan

  I am wondering if anyone here has more information about these unusual hoppers.  I would like to get a few for my railroad, but I haven't found a model of them in N scale from any manufacturer.  The closest thing similar are the Canadian cylindrical grain hoppers, but these are much shorter and have the open platform ends.

Looking for feedback on Bachmann RS3's with Soundtraxx decoder Factory installed

Sat, 2013-01-12 19:29 — kleaverjr

Before investing in the Bachmann RS-3 with a factory installed Sountraxx Decoder, I was wondering if anyone has already purchased one.  And if so, does it have the same level of detail and performance as the Bachmann Spectrum locomotives?  I am concerned it's a lower end model with not great quality and not a good quality motor in it. 

Thank you.

Chesapeake & Ohio L-1 Hudson Scratch-Bash

Sat, 2013-01-12 17:15 — ralpho37

Over the past couple of years I've developed an interest in scratch-bashing C&O steam locomotives. I've started a couple of locos, which have yet to be finished, but when I came across the "Delaware & Hudson Consol Scratch-Bashes" thread on MRH, it inspired me to go even bigger with my own projects. I couldn't resist tackling a project I have long had on my mind: a streamlined L-1 Hudson.
