    Need information on Broadway Limited SW7

    I've got the SW7 and NW2 last year and I'm fully satisfied. I would like to say that the quality is the same as ATLAS Gold Series or LL Proto 2000. I use them in a multitraction with a LL GP9 and a Lenz 100 system. All three are sound equiped and the Quantum sound decoder is state of the art! If...

    GP38-2 Life-Like detail parts

    Meanwhile I've got a picture and some answers from a German forum following also your ideas. It seems that the grey part is a drill-template but where to place and for what? The small parts on the bottom are sockets I think. Meanwhile I've got a photo from the prototype of the #2026: - no...

    GP38-2 Life-Like detail parts

    Just got a GP38-2 Life-Like (Missouri Pacific Line #2026). The locomotive includes a lot of detail parts but unfortunately with the new box LL use there's no more picture or information how to apply the detail parts to match the prototype. Does anybody know if the detail parts LL delivers with...

    Backdrop

    I found a lot of new model railroad backdrops for H0 and G on the web page of my model railroad dealer. These are imports from the US. Does anyone know the name or web-page of the vendor in the US? The only information I found was the name "JoWi". If you want to see all, follow this link...

    Do you use DCC?

    I've just add a second system to my old one. I had a simple multi protocol system which can handle DCC, the Maerklin "Motorola I and II" data format and DC (really DC on the track, but not at the same time in digital mode). Now I've the LENZ Set 100 system and I'm totally satisfied. I've a...

    Elevated...

    Not finished yet but couln'd wait to show my latest progress on my layout. It always was one of my dreams to implement parts of an "Elevated" like can be seen in Chicago or NY. So I took the Bachmann Spectrum Bus Station kit and did some heavy kit bashing. Finally I made 2 buildings from one...

    ATHERN Challenger

    Price for Athern's Challenger has been dramatically reduced before delivery. I've heard that Lionel who is in big trouble will deliver remnants of their Challengers for low price. Here in Germany price for Athern's Challenger is fallen from 570,- Euro to 350,- Euro ($685 to $420,-). I've...

    Athearn Blue Box!

    No but my German dealer gets every week some dozen blue box cars from the US. Can't stop buying them since quality for me is compatible to pricing ($6,- $ 10,-) and I love to mount the kits. Hartmut

    ATLAS FM H24-66 Problem

    Yesterday evening I tried it again and needed 5 times (programming, reset, removing the loco from the track,...) Finally it runs. Maybe it's time for me to buy a more comfortable DCC system with F0 - F12 since I ordered more locos with sound (LL, Athern,...) Hmmm... think I will give an order to...

    ATLAS FM H24-66 Problem

    Got my CP ATLAS FM H24-66 yesterday! Great packaging (!), nicely detailled locomotive and finally a great sound from the Quantum decoder !!! Best locomotive I ever got from ATLAS. :) But with a little problem. Does anyone also receive his H26-66 (Sound-version)? I had twice the problem when...
