Actually, you can get a no frill cremation fairly cheap.......just don't use a GFCI.

So if you keep a transformer in a place where it gets no rain (covered porch), but there is the ever present humidity of central Texas, does that create issues?  The transformer I have is a large heavy 20 amp as I recall and moving it in and out will be a pain.

Offer other parts for sale to others who may need them and help recoup some of extra expense for 1 part.

Here we go again. Very common issue.

Would love to see a pic.

I too just found Super Clean but did not say Casterol on it.  Is this Walmart the same stuff?  Found this which is maybe it

I agree. Where to find it?

I have some pink and white grease from bachmann.  What is the difference?  I don't see it listed on the site so do they not make it anymore?

I'v got one of the Christmas red ones that say built 12/94 and a Christmas white one that says built 12/97 and neither work now.  Are the gears the same?  The red one also takes pickup from the trailing car too, unlike my white one .

Barry, where can a see a pic and instructions on one of these.  Gonna seriously consider one if looks like I can handle it.

Ok so in English please.......

So what exactly is the difference in the 2-8-0 I bought a couple years ago and this new one?

All ears!!!!

Is he saying they burn out and have to redo all the time?  Impressive result

What I want is a big puffer for outside use where you can really see it like the MTH video I saw for a 2-8-0 a while back. Unfortunately, it required the use of their control board.
