Proto 2000 E8 A&B units
Hi
Does anyone know if the chassis on Proto 2000 E8/9 A&B units is the same? In other words, would I be able to install a B shell over an A chassis?
thanks
Bob

Why is it so hard to buy a Loco
Here I am, cash burning a hole in my pocket, wanting to buy a new loco and..... Nothing nada zip nil stocks everywhere I look. I confess my needs are a little specific as this will be my first brand new loco. Specifically, it must be either Atlas or Kato as I want a quality performer. I also want to install my own sound decoder and speaker as I don't fancy the factory installed options. Finally it must be either CSX YN3 or undecorated.

Stripping a brass locomotive
I am planning to purchase a small sand blaster ans a soft medium to strip the paint off of a brass steamer that I have. I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with a decent sand blaster and medium. I was thinking fine walnut shells. Please let me know.

What got you into the Model Railroading?
I got an email today as we planned for an upcoming train show about how we need to get "young people" interested in the hobby. I cannot for the life of me remember any defining moment at a train show that some old guy talking to me made me want to get into model railroading. I just have always liked trains, no specifc reason, just do.

He is a good friend and fellow MRH forum member. I asked him to take some photos of my equipment and scenery that have been worked on so far.

Internet Explorer 11
I do not know whether it's a problem with the not yet released IE11 or the coding of the MRH website but the features of the editor don't work correctly. I have the pre release version installed on one PC (this one) and the editor constantly drops letters while typing, features like quotes or inserting of images don't work. I just thought to give the MRH team a heads up just in case...
