walthers just announced a new type of ore car, im pretty sure its the 26 foot one.

i used to do that when i was a kid, about 5 years old with a finger nail clipper, then i discovered kadee's! im 25 now, yes its very easy to see a knuckle if you wanna stare at an ancient horn hook.  but it does work, works well, but not as far as uncoupling goes.... another question, why does the protomax coupler have reversed trip pins on some of those ?

to keep it short, I'll be there!

http://www.hubertsrr.com makes them though only availible ready to run. They come with Atlas trucks, and  think Kadee couplers.

I'll be at trainfest, ive gone every year since 1989! Gotta love the manufactor booths with new tooling not seen anywhere on the net yet! and awsome layouts and the many dealers that wanna drain your wallet )

you know what would be  neat? some of them little fairmont speeders! bachmann probly could pulll it off considering they've made a hand car a 2 truck vans... ya never know!

i always cut off the "trip pin" as my layout is only 18inches wide. the old horn hooks to use to like to get cauught in the turnouts frog..

they were all the same basically, i found how they all work on youtube, its really neat actully! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwWeiavJVxM

alrite. so i may have to take the body off the chassis, we'll see next monday what happens when i get that loco. i didnt wanna buy something that  couldnt detect dc or dcc.

thx for many replies on this topic!

thank you lanny.

what is this? i use dc, i have a very small layout, iam about to buy  an atlas gp 40. will this work on dc? what will this do when I go into dcc in a few years? My LHS is more of a craft store so the guy doesnt know anything about it.

Thank you for any replys.

congrats kevin, slow as usual? ha! ha ha, i been building a layout for 15 years! and its still not complete

where exaactly on the walthers website is that? i couldnt find it.

beautiful.

when that guy say gg fyi whats that mean?
