Just curious... where did you find my first name? I thought that wasn't public. I don't mind, like I said just curious. )

Thanks, I had stumbled upon them in the past and really liked the look of your steam engines. As I am beginning to paint, letter and weather my own stock, I wanted to take a closer look at yours for inspiration. )

Shaygetz,
What happened to all of your photos? I can't find them anywhere, wanted to look at some of your engines again.

why is the axle a throwaway, is it because its a split axle. If so whats to stop me gluing 2 together??

Hi Shay,

Check my Bachmann 4-8-4 post!!! Maybe you know the answer to question!!!

Thanks

Both are possible to convert but difficult as the motors are grounded to the frame. You would have to place the motor on a thin plastic pad and hold it in place with a nylon screw. You would need a high amp chip as well.

Another alternative is this >>> http://www.alliancelocomotiveproducts.com/ making sure again that it is installed with the motor isolated from the frame.

Hi Shay,

I like this one too but alas USA shipping only!!!

It's such a bugger i live in Australia, finding American Steam Locos in HO is very difficult. Lots of great locos in the states but not too many ship to the land of OZ. PS: I absolutely love the modelling you do its awe inspiring!!! I wish i had some contacts over there coz where i live there are no train shows or swap meets around. Plus most of the train modellers here do Aussie layouts which means i can't get much.

Thanks In Advance
Pat

Just a quick question when attaching pics on a thread how do you get to show them in the thread other than a list?? Do you need it as a URL for that to work??

Thanks
Pat
