Ok Gang,

I'm going to quit whining about no decals for the Alcos I'm running the damn things as is:thumbsup::laugh:

I am really geeked! I picked this up today in a trade

Its already up and running:thumbsup:

Oh yeah, The Texas Special runs great!

However, the Santa Fe powered unit just sits there and does nothing...

It doesn't even hum. Hopefully, all it needs is a good cleaning.

The Marx powered unit makes all kind of noise and sparks, moves a little, then stops. Needs a good cleaning

Anyway, thought I'd share...

Cheers, Ian

Wow ... that Amtrak set looks to be in very nice shape. Not bad for a swap!

Way to go!!

The unfinished look matches your table.

Can't wait to see your next step.

So far I have not got into ALco's I should though! I have enough steam.

Yeah,

The Texas loco runs pretty good for a 53 year old engine:thumbsup:

The Amtrack is dated 1995, and it runs real good. I'm happy. Now I need some rolling stock, buildings...more locomotives.......


Cheerrs, Ian

"I have enough steam."

BLASPHEMY! I cry BLASPHEMY! One can NEVER have enough steam engines!

Or so I'd like to think.

Sorry ... got carried a bit away there ...

I'm OK now ... really ...
