I think Jerome sold his bike but either way I talked to him the other day and he is alive and kicking. He had some health issues and was in the Hospital with no way to communicate.
Gentlemen, Gentlemen, due to popular demand, I have returned from the missing in action file. I thank each and everyone of you for your concern. I've have a rough last year, but hopefully everything will get back to some kind of normalcy now.
Thanks Jerome I found the MAERSK on evilbay with the well cars to match the undec I dont know what I'm going to do with it yet might trade it for a Amtrak unit
Spent the last few hours cutting down a Kato NW2 chassis so that it will fit in an Athearn SW7 BB. Now it may have been easier just to remotor the SW7 with the kato motor, but I wanted the WHOLE Kato drive! Fun thing, trying to narrow the chassis for a "split frame" loco, then to Isolate the motor. Total so far? 1/4 inch removed in height, (for decoder clearance) and 1.20 in total chassis width! Yeah, I'm and idiot. But the Kato chassis was cheap enough (part of a 10 buck auction box) and if I ruin the chassis, I can always just repower the SW& with the kato motor, so what the heck!
besides,,,it was more fun than baking cookies with SWMBO!i
