How to Change Detail Number Boards on Athearn F3's

Fri, 2011-12-30 15:17 — captainjimsmks

I am modeling the Frisco in HO scale and there are a limited number of diesel models available.  I have several sets of Athearn F3's and some of the F3A's have the same number. Does anyone know how to change the number on the number board or replace the existing number board?

Thanks.

Anyone have any experience with the Grandt Line GE 23 Ton locomotives.

I am curious as to how well they run and do they have lighting etc. 

Thanks.

I spent some time between holiday celebrations adding DCC decoders to some older engines to flesh out the Great Western motive power fleet.  While I am striving for prototypical accuracy. modeling the GWRy motive power offers some challenges,

Ok, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. More interesting locos working in Longmont, Colorado. These two locos were in a lash-up working the same area as my last post like this http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/6465

While working to correct track connections for power, I ran into another problem. I have several sections of track working just fine and thought I'd try out the jump power packs I have wired. Here's the scenario and the problem:

Bachmann clinax gears

Tue, 2011-12-27 05:40 — Tanblu

Does anyone out there have any experience installing NWSL gears in a Bachmann Climax. If you have, any tips   would be appreciated. Also did you use the  Loctite recommended or something else (about $20 a SMALL bottle)!?  Got mine the other day & they are SMALL but not as small as the 2 washers. I think my biggest fear is loosing one or more during the process.
