Trading of engine decal sheets
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone was interested in trading decal sheets for engines? I run a free lance layout, and I have spoken with Kevin at Washington Northern Railroad already about trading a set of engine decals, but I am wondering if there are a few more out that that might be interested? I need to know how many more that would want a trade before I get them printed...
DCC loco's
Maybe this question is asked a thousand times before but run DCC equipped loco's on non-DCC lay-outs?
And if so; do they straight from the box?
N scale Bachmann 70 tonner - rough running, lurching
Hi all,
Been lurking here for a while but haven't posted much.
I recently bought a Bachmann 70 tonner as they got great reviews.
Initially the little engine ran fine but after about an hours use it became a bit lurchy and unwilling to run smoothly. Out of the box it comes with the very basic Bachmann decoder installed that does not allow you to program much more then vstart, and acc, dec and some basic lighting functions.
ATSF GP 35 SD 45 Detailing
I have been in another part of our Hobby for quite a while and have lost touch with HO suppliers etc.
If anyone has detailed a ATSF GP 35 and SD 45 could you give me a little guidance with what details I need and where I can get them.
Thanks

Correct Color for GM&O
Are there any GM&O modelers on the forum that could help me with the correct color for GM&O locomotives. The color that I am looking for is the orange red color of the older RS engines.
Reboxx Exxact Socket issue
Recently I discovered my truck tuner tool had grown legs and vanished. It was a geernic one I picked up at a train show, I don;t think it was the actual Reboxx one, but since the whole thing has gone missing (I always kept it in the zip baggie it came in) I don't have proof one way or the other.
Bye Bye to the Northern California Consolidated
Well, this is the beginning of the blog to track my progress of an N-scale endeavor.
Three road names of Western Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.
As you can see the pics show the layout as a round the room...the duck under was low enough that my dear wife whacked her head three times in a row in less than a 5 minute time span, no joke. So I, yes I, decided to move it, because it was built to move, to the garage for a while.
Painting Locos and Cars
I'm curious to know if anyone has ever removed paint from one of the Proto 2000 E series locomotives and what advice they may share with me. Thanks.
Athearn RDC
I wanted one RDC for my layout and I bought a Athearn at a swap meet real cheap. It was brand new in the box.
I'm sure I will need new rubber bands but has anyone repowered or regeared these? Does anyone have any experience with the Ernst kits for these? Can you still get them? It seems they are backordered everywhere.
Any ideas or info would be appreciated. Thanks MARK
Generic equivalent to "boxcar red"??
Anyone ever experimented and found one? I have some Tichy boxcar kits that I will be lettering for my own road and also some for the Gorre and Daphetid. I know I can order some Polly Scale boxcar red for my airbrush or maybe a rattle can of Floquil and I may do just that. However, I'm on a tight budget right now and it occurs to me that since I'll be decorating the cars for freelance fictitous roads that if I can find something close enough down at the local Wally World, I could save a few bucks, especially when I start getting more cars.
