I recently got BURNED on an auction gone TERRIBLY wrong trying to get one of these things on Ebay and I would like to know if there is someone or someplace selling a brand new in box and plastic wrapped 2-8-2 Susquehanna Mikado for around $100.00 or so.  I have searched just about every hobby store site in Model RRer magazine and keep coming up short.

If ANYONE out there has a brand new one they are looking to get rid of, PLEASE let me know INSTANTLY!!!  Time is an important factor here...
Also, if anyone knows of a shop that I missed that they KNOW they have one in stock, again please let me know.
I should point out that I will NOT be dealing with ANY TX sites or people.  Rather large and vague but I cannot take any chances.  That's where the seller I wish to NOT deal with is at.
Ebay is ALSO out of the question.  ACTUAL people and ACUTAL stores only.  Thanks

Is there a way to intensify the headlight on an Erie 2-10-0? Also, I attempted loosening the pilot truck screw to make it a bit more flexible on turns but it keeps derailing, especially on frogs and rail joints.  Is there a way to make it a bit heavier so it will stay on the rails?

Other than those two little items, Bachmann has a SUPERB product with their Russian Decapod line!!
