N / New GE Dash 8-40CW Out of Gauge
April 13, 2012, 03:21:32 PM
I just got 2 new Dash8-40CWs with the body mt. couplers.
Both of them would not run on code 55 Atlas switches or rerailers.
All the wheels where out of gauge (flange to flange) by .020" to narrow,
causing them to ride up on the sw.frogs & the center on the rerailer.
The wheels side easy on the axles so I moved them out to .301" & they both are running fine now.

I got mine in March it ran &the sound was great, however it just didn't look like it belonged with the rest of my locos. I Have Bachmann 2-8-0s, 4-6-0s &
BWL 2-8-0s. Setting next to a 4-6-0 or a 2-8-0 it just didn't look right!
The engineer on a 4-6-0 could spit down the stack as it went past!!
I grew up on the B&O main line in the 50's watching EM-1s so my perspective of what a Mallet should look like maybe a little distorted.
That's why I sold it.
