the Model # is 345005 the thing is about 2 months old...It was knocked off the track and broke.. I thought I could fix it.. But I just do not have the knowledge..... here is how it looks today.... I paid 100.00 for it.... right now... If you are in Houston area... and want it... it is free.. come get it... If you want it bad enough to pay shipping. I will ship it to you... I would rather give it away then throw it away....

I also have a Genesis G9207 (union pacific FEF-2 #823)with sound that crashed to the floor as well.. the cab broke off... I have all the parts... paid 280.00 this still works.. just needs a mechanic to get it back to normal..... I will take 100.00 for it... if need pics .. let me know..

These are HO scale... I took them to the Train store... and all of a sudden people get stupid and do not want to help me or refer me to anyone who could work on them....

I understand the part about the train store...most folks in the business don't want to deal with service or repair/parts. I'm not looked upon too well in my shop because I prefer tinkering over NIB.

Chuck,

Sorry to hear about the gravity situation. Generous offer on the SP ... I hope she finds a happy home.

Good luck,

Cope, my favorite Ho, is cast Mantua, with patience and a parts supplier it can be fixed. It all depends if you want to put the effort in. I understand fixing is not everyones bag, but here we tend to help and inspire.You supply the pictures and we will assist. In your case it appears to be a a matter of arranging the wheels. Some special tools are required. So reconsider on the first engine. I am not sure I can helpon the second. Mantua has been discussed in detail here before.

I love the way you've integrated the fish tanks into it...the turtle makes for some interesting B movie Sci-Fi drama...:thumbsup:

Hey Cope,

Can you PLEASE train your engines properly so that if they DO fall they know to do it into the turtle tank to cushion the impact?!? :laugh: A little dry-out is easier than a full bag-o-parts rebuild!

I've said it before, but that is an awesome, very 3-dimensional layout ... thanks for sharing!
