Hey All,
    I have a On30 mogul running around my christmas tree this year. Now just the engine, as I have broken off the link pin on the Tender.
    Does anyone have a good fix for this? As I don't think model glue or others would hold up to the strain of pulling a few cars around.
     I'm sure others have done this , if you would please let me kwow how you handled it.

        Thanks,
                Barry

    Yes they do, Product # 44505


            Enjoy,
                          Barry

               Tom,
      the Bachmann EZ Track is solid steel on the black road bed, and
nickel/silver solid compound, for better conductivity, on the grey road bed.
      I hope this answers your Q.

           Enjoy,
                     Barry 
             

          I prefer the ease of EZ Track, it stays together better and is much more stable than regular track.
          there are several sources for layout plans of EZ Track, Bachmann has a new book coming out, (real soon I hope) and some others - via internet.

            Enjoy, Barry

        I think I'll revive this posting in hopes of catching any new comers & any new layouts.
       I my self am starting a new Christmas village  layout. Got a late start this year, bench work still in progress, & hoping to accomplish much on this long weekend.

       Gary,
      The car is exactly the same, the trolley set difference is distinguished by the red barn is old model, & light cream colored barn is new model.
      Enjoy your new trolley,
                    Barry

       Maybe it was the wonderful surroundings, or the company I was keeping, or the rum & cokes, I forgot to remember you folks at Trainfest.
       So how was it?

                Barry

     Only the good die young.  Rest In Peace my friend.

     My condolences to his family.

     Royce,
    I've been looking at the velocipede from Weisman for some time now , a short spur from the doctor's bldg., to the main line, would be a great place to display it. I'll need to mount a black bag on the back though.
    I really want the Gandy Dancer to be powered, and used as a track Inspection vehicle.
         
                   Barry

        I truly believe they need to finish off the geared loco's. Give 'em the Heisler. 
        I personally am sooooo glad the 4-4-0 is on it's way. Now if I could just get a Gandy Dancer, AKA  Hand car, to go with my few moguls & trolley's, I'll be in Model train Heaven.

         Hey Duke,
     I've gone to Trainfest the last 2 years, but I have a trip to an all inclusive resort in Mexico, that my wife is making me go to this year instead.
     Trainfest, Mad City, & Title Town have been on my must do list the last couple yrs. , but I'll be thinking of you from poolside.

            Barry

P.S.  Please give us details of how the weekend went, if you have a chance.

          Hey Jim,
   
        I don't think they are available yet. Some discussion on this board a few weeks ago , B Man said they were not in distribution.
         I too have been ANTICIPATING since it was announced in spring,
March as I recall.

         Any update B Man?

              Barry

          Rich,
   Is that #4  Singular or plural?  If you have more than 1 # 4, than you don't have any #3, but with that #1 you can always get more #4's.

        Enjoy them all,
                Barry

         The "RIO GRANDE" passenger christmas train had a very classy look to it, rather than the gaudy look of some of the others.
       Oh well, it's all for fun & a good time.
       Also for a good reason. I take the Grandkids to the depot to see the
CP Rail christmas train. The train stops, opens a special boxcar door, & has a 45 minute concert. The cost, is a couple items of food for a donation. It all goes to a local food pantry. That as much as the train, captures the Christmas Spirit.
          Enjoy,
                Barry
       

    Hey B-Man,

            Congrats on your 4th "GRAMPS" Tank car.

   Hee Hee,

               Enjoy,
                     Barry
