Do you guys know of video cameras that will fit in the cab of an HO SD40-2 and B23-7?

Also, where might I find these cameras and what might be the estimated price?

This may seem like a stupid or obvious question but I am a true beginner.

Is it possible to put ditch lights on a DC locomotive?
If so, what kind are they and where can I get them?

Thanks,
Cody

I know that I have been posting a lot on here these past few days and I'm sorry for that.

I am building my first model railroad. It is BNSF right after the merger in 1997. The layout will take place in Northwest United States. I am looking to build a good bit of industries for a lot of switching opportunities. But the problem is that living in Ohio, I don't know what kind of industries are in the Northwest. It would be greatly appreciated if you had any ideas for industries.

thanks,
Cody

Me being a 13 year old and not having enough money to go to DCC, I operate DC. I am building a new layout with lots of industries to switch and my only engine I have now is a Bachmann BN SD40-2 and I want another engine to do the switching. Is there any way to have two seperate circuits but make it look like one operation?

Thanks,

Is there anyway to make my Bachmann HO Santa Fe GE B23-7 a dummy locomotive?  Any pictures/diagrams would be very appreciated.

I run my trains on my floor and I use Bachmann EZ Track. Even though it is still elevated off of my floor it still gets hairs and stuff like that from the carpet on it making it hard for my trains to run and getting hair wrapped around the axle. I was wondering if I could use one of the attachments from my vacuum to vacuum the track to get all of the hair off without hurting the track.
Can I do this?

thanks,
Cody

What code of rail is Bachmann Steel EZ Track?

I am new to the whole world of model railroading and I don't know a lot about DCC so I was wondering if a DCC locomotive can run on DC?

I have been shopping for a new locomotive and in the "features" section of some locomotives it says that some locos are equipped with dynamic brakes. How do dynamic brakes work on model trains?

Thanks,

In my [American] opinion the GE BQ23-7 is the ugliest locomotive ever built for American railroads.  It looks alot like a foreign locomotive (which are very un-attractive in my opinion).

How do you guys feel about the attractiveness or the un-attractiveness of the BQ23-7?

Is is possible to take the shell off of a Bachmann HO GE B23-7 and place it on the body of a Bachmann HO EMD GP40 and do the same with the GP40 shell and the B23-7 body?

Thanks,
Cody

I have just recently pulled out a life-like ATSF HO scale warbonnet diesel loco from my grandma's closet. This train set is from about 1984. I tried to run it on it's original track but didn't run. I then took it home and ran it on my bachmann track but it had some problems. I then decided to make it a dummy since I model the ATSF. The back truck rolls freely but the front truck (with the motor) doesn't.  Does anyone know how to make the front truck move freely without tearing the whole loco apart.
