New Santa Fe's (to me).

I finally found a powered A unit that I could afford! It has dual motors. I had to do some tinkering but she's a runner! The powered unit is actually a knuckle coupler unit verses my dummy which is a link. What I did was change shells as the knuckle coupler shell had the front skirts "open". I then used my link coupler shell on the powered chassis as that one has a closed front. The B unit wasn't a problem as I used a fibre strap to connect the A to the B. Then I swapped trucks to get the right connections for another fibre strap, and swapped trucks AGAIN to get the knuckle coupler to hook up my cars. I did absolutely nothing to the powered unit to get it running . I trusted the person I purchased it from and he was right on about the performance. I have 2 more B units to add, but the engine doesn't seem to enjoy pulling all that. I had a ABBA lash-up but it seemed a little sluggish and I am now just running the ABA.

'Nut,

That looks fabulous! Clever mix-match fiddling on your part to get 'em going. Enjoy!

Looks great. If you can't pull the extra engines, consider powering one of more of the other engines. I have a O-scale K-Line ABA that has twin motors in each of the three engines, it has no problem pulling. :)

It took a while, but was worth the wait.

I'm looking for the same set in n-scale.

I believe the PA-1 and the PB-1's are the prettiest loco ever, in diesel that is. I have a MTH ABBBA unit in O scale that is just unbelievable.

Not the ABBBA set-up, but a ABBA. I do have the 3rd B unit though, I just didn't want to dig it out,lol.. I'm lazy this morning...

You don't need cars for that, the string of engines is long enough to make a complete train! :p:p:p
