opinions on loco engines
I would like to hear your advices or opinions on model loco engines. Running?. Best for switching?
Starting from scratch
Ever have an urge to build a car, but haven't quite been able to find any dimensions, let alone an article on building or kitbashing it? Well, I thought I'd show what I do (or rather, put myself through!) to build a car without much to go on. This isn't to say that I've got it all figured out, but instead I hope it will stimulate some discussion that we all might benefit from.
OK, what am I going to model? Here's a picture of the prototype:
Bachman GP35 CSX 4402. Is it based on a real prototype?
I have a Bachman GP35 CSX 4402 and I¨ve a question about it. Is this model based on a real prototype?. Searching in the internet I´ve seen this road number is a GP40 -2.

I've been experimenting with weathering trucks on my rolling stock and wanted to share methods I've hit upon that are easy and produce what I consider to be reasonably realistic results. Here is my step by step for those interested in trying the technique:
GMDD Wide Cab (MK 4013) / Fred Barkhouse GP38-2W
Guys,
Stan Sienicki took photos of our GMDD Wide Cab (MK 4013) and Fred Barkhouse's GP38-2W. Hopefully these images show the subject a lot better than previous posts.
I'll also attach images of our container decals, DS 00052/DS 00053. The containers were built by Evan Kayahara.
We are at Naperville this past weekend, had a great time.

Repairing Walthers P2K with QSI sound
I have one of the first phase GP9s that Life Like sold with QSI sound right before they were bought by Walthers. It ran great for a couple years, but now the sound works, but it stopped moving.
I could buy another decoder for it, but I wonder if anyone here has had any experience sending it in to Walthers for repair? There is nothing on their website about servicing P2K equipment, and I am waiting to hear from one of their customer support folks.
