Nope. Nothing.

Same here. He was once a trustworthy member of HO Interchange (formerly HO Yard Sale). He recently started posting there again. I contacted the moderator/admin of the group, and linked him to this thread. The admin confronted Josh with the info, and asked him to resolve it. Josh agreed to...

I've sent him my address twice already.

I've exhausted my options, and honestly, it's not worth it to pursue it anymore. I've now written off the locomotive as a loss. I just hope that this thread shows up on Google so that if anyone ever googles his name in the future, they can what he has done. This is what I have done: - Filed...

Tackle boxes (for fishing) and toolboxes with compartments for drill bits, screws, and nails make great boxes for small parts. I have a bunch of tackle boxes that I use to keep kadee couplers and metal wheels in.

Can you respond to my question now, please?

Alright, I've returned as I have gotten nowhere. Amtrak Titan on this forum has offered to help by giving me Josh's cell phone number to contact him. I contacted him, and he asked me for my shipping address. I gave it to him (shouldn't he have it from the invoice?) and have heard nothing...

I have stopped receiving responses from him. Should I contact his local authorities?

Q-tips work well as well. Dip the q-tip in the paint, and then lightly roll it on. You get a thin consistent layer of paint with no brush strokes.

He's been posting on his facebook page though...

Well.... Inflation at work? http://www.dccinstalled.com/HO-Scale-70-Ton-Open-Hopper-Cars-s/1290.htm

Yes and no. The trick is to know what you are looking for, and to be able to see flaws in the product in the photos. If there is no photo, or if I can't see what I want to see in the photos, I will not buy it. Being able to recognize the model's brand and product line on sight is also a plus...

Which Blue Box wheels? Later Blue Box cars came with metal wheels. There are a few reasons why club are persistent on having metal wheels. 1. Metal wheels derail less. Metal wheels have tighter tolerances for roundness than plastic wheels. Plastic wheels are usually molded so there will be...

Back on Black Friday, I saw that Factory Direct Trains (Broadway Limited's retail store) was having a sale. What? Under 14 bucks and change for RTR Bowser hoppers that I've never seen below $20? YES! So, I added every NS roadnumber into the cart and checked out. When the cars arrived, one...

That depends. The decoder in the eBay auction you linked appears to be a bulk N13SRJ decoder from NCE. The bulk decoders are for companies such as the one selling that decoder to buy a ton of el cheapo decoders for resale. The el cheapo version is a very basic decoder with NO pulse width...

Ok, here are a few visual aids to demonstrate what I was talking about. On Athearn RTR with DCC Quick-Plug, and newer Athearn Genesis units, this is what you can you. All photos are from TCS's website. Once you pop the shell, you will see this below on Athearn RTR, Athearn Roundhouse, and...

All of Athearn's steamers are either in their Roundhouse line or Genesis line. Both are DCC ready although some older Genesis diesels such as the SD70 do not have a plug. If they have sound, they're already DCC equipped. If there is no sound, then it's DCC ready, it will have the 9-pin plug...

All newer Athearn RTR and Genesis locomotives that are DCC ready (they say DCC Quick-Plug Equipped) in the box will have a light board that will accept any decoder with a 9-pin JST socket. There is a small jumper plug board plugged into the plug. Just remove it and replace it with a decoder...

No, they did not. The LRV is very light and underpowered. It can barely pull itself so I doubt it will be able to drag along a dummy.

And it fits with no problems? Space is tight under the shell. I tried a DN143IP and it didn't fit (too thick)
