Could you guys please stop picking on him? The purpose of this forum is for talk about trains, not to be rude to people. So what if he has a challenger. I have a big boy, and I'm younger than him. Age never really matters for what the price of your trains are. (Unless your 2 or 3...)

The challenger is READY to RUN with DCC ONBOARD.
It can take 18" radius even. Though it doesn't look that good when running around them.

I love it. The only thing I could think of to make your layout better would be background sounds, otherwise its perfect.

add weight to the tender.

A dash nine.

(Cause thats one of the few d-----s I know...)

Ah. I can't wait for my 2-8-0. I'm gonna get one with sound on board.

Ah.

I thought the K-27 was going to be for CSX.
Why don't you have it yet? some have been availible for a while.

Harriman mikes in SP and UP sounds fine n' dandy to me.

What happened to your steamers? Your roster section doesn't include them.

Sorry , not asking about a power pack, but about a controller for dc and sound....like the older soundtraxx........rod

I beleive that MRC is making one, but apparently for DC Tsunamis you can spike the voltage to get the whistle.

I would like a pacific.
Espacially if it had SP or UP roadname.

I don't really care about whether or not it's USRA.

Even more, I would like a 2-8-2. 4-4-2s, they just look wierd to me.

But mostly, I want a 4-12-2... But BLI is covering that.

• reduce the steepness of the grade.
• increase the wieght inside the locomotive, but this may lead to failure of the drive axles.
• if failure occurs, consider the Bowser repower kit.
• make the tender into a booster using model diesel locomotive components.

Or get that powered truck by (I think) Caboose Hobbies, and stick it in a passenger car behind the engine.

This is why BLI would produce it. Maybe if they did, we could get a nice stealth one and upgrade to sound or something.

BLI comes with sound. Just to let you know also.....I just got an email back from BLI, and they said that they have plans for a 4-12-2, but don't know when they will start building it :-D

Mr. Bachmann:  What about the Alton & Southern 0-8-0?

I can wait. Let's hope it's got a few blind drivers...
And BLI does come without sound. That's what the "Stealth Series" is.

And there's always Trainworld....

I'm no good at this lol.
