+1 for a K4
Although i would like to see an 0-6-0 with DCC

I am pleased to say after many hours of pain and suffering i actually managed to get it fixed.   My 2-8-0 was not so lucky.... Lol

Hello everyone! The valve gear on my wonderful new EM-1 has fallen off! How should I reinstall it?
Ps I don't want to mail it in for repairs because I just weathered it yesterday.

Hello, I am looking for replacement trucks (black) for a kato sd-40-2. Where abouts can I find some? I tried kato directly but they seem to be sold out.

i haven't tried that yet but i will next Saturday, thanks for the help!

my 2-8-0 with dcc picks up power but the motor is not working how can i fix this?

i was thinking about converting a walthers y-3 into a C&O H-7, but i was curious to know has anyone done this yet?if so how can the boiler be extended? i think i know how but i am unsure if it would look right afterward. 

is there a online store that sells ore or hopper cars in large quantities for less than $5 per car ?if not how could i acquire a large fleet of hoppers for the lowest budget

as long as your fairly gentle you should be alright but the rear truck is sprung so slowly lift the bottom plate away. there are two screws holding it on as well as 4 small plastic clips that may need to be pryed open with a small metal pick. also be carefull with the drivers as they may lift out of the chassis.

i used a spring from a pen that i cut down to a size that would hold the the truck down but does not have enough force to lift the front set of drivers of the rails all you really need is any small spring that fits on around the pin that holds the front truck on

i added a spring to the front truck on mine and now it runs flawlessly. (just be sure the spring is not too powerfull or weak)

hello, i am looking for a C&O 2-10-4 that is a reasonable price. any suggestions

y do you need the motor in the cab? if for dcc there is a site giving instructions on how to install a micro decoder in the tender.
