    Athearn Genesis MP15AC light board removal

    Athearn GP38-2 and GP40X Reviews Needed

    Anyone Own A Tower 55 Loco?

    For anyone thats interested and/or have ordered a CP ES44AC from T55. I emailed Brian Marsh at T55 and they have moved the ETA for the CP ES44AC's to Fall 2007. Also the price has been increased to $350 from $300. This new ETA kinda pisses me off, I really really really want my CP ES44AC...

    Adding Ditch Lights

    I'm planning to add ditch lights to my P2K SD60's and I have someone thats going to do it for me, but I need to know where I can find the housing for them. What I can tell from pictures is that the ditchlights are above the pilot and not below. Thanks in Advance! :D
