Well if you read the captions the train was 7800 ton and the Challenger was rated for 8000 ton so it was near its max anyway. Still an awsome video to see an old steam engine doing what it was designed for. Most containers would not surpass 45000 lbs loaded as that seems the max as far as what I...

Nope it was not any help on the rear. it was all just the 3985

We do have to keep them running. When its cold I dont shut mine off or I may not get it started. All diesels need heat and pressure in the cylinders to make combustion work properly. However I keep the truck plugged in at home when I will be there for a few days. All Pickups and Trucks are...

Lonestar makes a kit for there autorack that is really cheap that is the brass pieces that you can build for yourselves. It would be far cheaper and you would still end up with a very nice model. Could even build a few and sell them as other companys than the one they chose. I would rather have...

The answer is Yes you can spray it into a jar and yes it will work.

Simular but its missing the Sleeper and the clamshell ontop. One can get the mad duck at most chrome shops. All Macks have a Bull Dog on the nose though I have a joke about that but will keep it to myself due to the Mack lovers here lol. I like a good ol Freightshaker, But have driven several...

I got these spine cars that I bought from one of you here and I was needing some proto info on them. I was going to change them to metel wheel sets and I was wondering the TTX 5 car set do they have the differant sized wheels on the ends as they do in the middle like the newer spine cars and...
