Finally, I saw your vids, I thought you didn't like dirtying up your trains, but now it looks twice as real...GOOD WORK!

Well the guy learned something-
don't be such an airhead on the road, when we first moved here, everyone signaled when turning, now- it never happens!
I was just as surprised, I bet the Metra president is like-
"He ruined a $100,000 engine! By his GPS!"
The Police are mad too, if you read well, his car spun on the road and took out a squad car.
<laughs> he took out a squad car, total his, damaged an engine, and all he says is: "GPS will tell you something, but you still have to pay attention to what's going on,"-
What a dork, oh well, thats why you listen to the GPS.

Come on! Mine dosen't even move, and yours holds it!!
It's an outrage!!

Look it up- I live in Bourbonnais, IL- and not that far away is Oak Lawn- this is where I was born. Check this out!!

FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
OAK LAWN -- A Wisconsin man claims he was following his in-car navigational system when drove onto railroad tracks in southwest suburban Oak Lawn and got stuck. The empty car was struck by a Metra train at 94th Street and Cicero Avenue before he could move it.

Oak Lawn police responded to a 911 call of a car stuck on the tracks at 10:21 p.m. Thursday. When they arrived, they found a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse facing eastbound and the driver and his female passenger standing nearby, Oak Lawn Division Chief Mike Kaufmann said.
~Report from Chicago Sun-Times.com.

I'll see if I get anymore details

Poor Metra, can anyone find a cheap F40PH of anykind with Metra cars anywhere!

Before police could attempt to move the car, a Metra train appeared. Officers tried to signal the operator but he was unable to stop in time and the train struck the vehicle, spinning it around and knocking down a traffic gate, which in turn damaged the front end of a squad car.

No one was injured and no traffic citations issued. The train was delayed for less than 30 minutes.

Kaufmann said the 24-year-old driver was obeying his GPS system when he took a right turn onto the tracks and his car's undercarriage became lodged on the rail.

"GPS will tell you something, but you still have to pay attention to what's going on," he said.

This video gives me a hard time to let go of the song:

E-Z track might also be the problem- not radii, but eletrical current- is your track okay for use?

-Bachmann should put a troubleshooting thing on this site...

If your selling it, add a couple dollars to the price- about one to 10, so you have the selling fees on ebay, But they may be even higher...good luck on the auction!

Ah, so Amfleet was to provide a transport that stopped at every station, and was convient. Good old Amtrak, just trying to keep up with this economy.

Your A unit may also be a problem, inspect it, to see if the engine is having some sort of error or if it is an eletrical problem, try to pry the shell- on the b unit, aren't you getting a new one anyway? Check your power too, they are so many little set-backs that can cause this....
be sure you can't fix it before you call the service department.

Since you like Acela, and MARC- why no model the model of the Main line up in Maryland. But you'll need some verity of track, that line is very different. Personally, I prefer Amtrak, got two F40PHs, one's a dummy- Phase II. With 1 US mail car- phase 5 <I didn't know the roman numeral>, and a Visa dome lounge car- Phase 5- both cars from Athearn, couplers suck  , oh, well...
I like my cars anyway.

Really? Reminds me of my uncle, he has too entire large storage pods filled with HO, inside an warehouse. And he has skilled, I'm a little mad when he won't tell me, but sooner or later, I'll figure it out myself. Yep, 7 superliner cars, 30<min.> freighers, 10 engines, and at least and 5 layouts with only track. oh, and 2 turntables.
SKILL IS NOTHING WITHOUT MONEY, thats why I spotted my Dash-9 in a local dealer, but I have to raise a hundred dollars before someone else buys it!
well, thats my meaningless or whatever, commet.

Why is there this topic in General discostion too? Stick to one, if it is HO, stay here, but my advice or comment is posted in Gernal Discontion.
