i kinda think that up to this point bachmann would at least plan for a heavy steam mikado thats USRA or different as long as its a heavy


also cannot wait to get my hands on a JS class since I already have an SY and a QJ

  The minute I heard Bachmann purchased Williams, I said they now have the perfect opportunity to make EZ Track in O guage 2 Rail.  I know Bachman can make Snap track look more realistic than Lionel does.

I second that notion!

it used to be that the QJ was sold out of Trainworld a few years back, now me being lucky enough to buy one, I bought one when they were still around. The most I can say is find an importer or look on ebay, thats your best bet as they discontinued the Chinese steam line for a while with the SY mike

i was thinking of the 2-6-6-2

i think the D&RGW articulated looked awesome

I'm back and im working on a christmas layout for a christmas event in my town , maybe if i can get this old school digital cam fixed i can show you all. anddddd..... I've organized my workshop area, and for a kitbasher like me thats no easyfeat

i especially would like to see O 2-rail equipment me being a multiscaler i have too few of this equipment as well as track :|

hopefully u'll come out with ez track for O 2 rail and maybe dual gauge

thanks, all on the the fact I'm Joining up for the Air Force, as it is something thats is going to change my life a great deal(this I know) I ship out in January for basic

Obviously the ASVAB no longer has questions on grammar, mechanics, or plausibility.   What 300 G&D cars do you own?
Gene

they're all MDC roundhouse Replications, I have every model made with extras, but i plan on using most of them

o yea,

I model mostly freelence anything I like
Most of my Rolling Stock is Gorre and Daphetid Cars--about 300 somewhat of those

and then theres my locos I kitbash

a mantua 2-6-6-2 with a UP big Boy Boiler cropped down

an AHM 20th century limited 4-6-4, modified and repainted red and black

a 0-8-0+0-6-2  a bachmann 2-8-0 converted into helper, or fast freight with an MDC chassis under the tender

A Rivarossi 0-8-0 with feedwater heater removed and tender replaced with a mantua slopeback tender

a mantua 4-6-2(found this for $20 bucks in some random antique shop) currently awaiting the modification torch

an AHM 4-8-8-2 cab forward undergoing a recovery modification after a cliff-fall from a 300 foot(think in scale lol) and will be converted into a 4-8-2 cab forward with a 0-8-0 chassis awaiting a ideal destiny

another mantua 2-6-6-2 chassis missing the main weight system and motor and other key parts is on hold with a modified hudson boiler to go on it, to give it a semi chunky NYC mallet look to it

a bachmann reading boiler undergoing diagnostics with brass machinery and domes put aside as the plastic embedded piping is being peeled off, this loco is being prepped to reincarnate G&D #34


and more and more lol, I'm a steam loco junkie

basicly I model a poly-design layout that is always deconstucting and reconstructing itself(is uses Power-loc track and modified power-loc track) which is always a christmas display at rockwell pavilion in Bristol CT during a week in December(which is currently in development stage(I want to do something different each year))

Lets say my parents spoiled me with too much train stuff, BUT the upside is I got alot of hands on learning experience with model railroading alone, I scored extremely high on the ASVAB(I even fell asleep for part of the test lol) and all the armed services were trying to get my attention and I've recently signed on for the Air Force, because they can give me the most for my needs in life

You could say I lead a huge life, my modeling life is an escape from the real world where everybody likes to talk to me(girls are fun ) but being  popular isn't what its all cut out to be..... But the key thing is I'm a good-natured person and that's all that counts

This is an ICRR Consolidation ... I have the pilot truck removed while doing final detailing and smoothing, before sanding.
