Greetings

I have been reading MRH since it was first released and I have finally decided to get my hands dirty with this marvelous hobby also making my first post here, therefore sorry for newbie (and linguistic) errors. My current project is following:

Because I live in Estonia, the most iconic freight loco I can remember was Chme3 (ЧМЭ3, made in USSR) and I would like to replicate this wonderful piece of steel in HO scale. [Basically, in Czechoslovakia they were produced as ČKD T699]

Hi all

I'm just starting in this hobby. Models like Bachmann Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation, Bachmann USRA 0-6-0 w/Slope Tender, Bachmann ALCO 2-6-0, Athearn 2-8-0 Consolidation or Athearn 2-6-0 Mogul are affordable models to get started but will they run on code 70 or 55 track. I'm thinking of hand laying track.

I'm going for the DCC versions if available. How do they run in general?

English is not my first language and therefor there can be some spelling mistakes. My apologies.

Hi All,

Greetings from South Australia,

I have just purchased a second hand Spectrum USRA Light Mountain, however the LH Eccentric crank, eccentric rod and gear connecting rod are missing from the loco.

Does anyone have a spare (off a dead loco) that they would be willing to part with (name your price).

Thanks in advance,
