    Couplers Guys, I have been working on the coupler issue. The biggest problem is that this system is scale based, not like RTR so nothing has ever been developed for it by the coupler manufacturers. Why put out something for a product that doesn't exist? So I have emailed Sargent and I...

    Jeff, Nobody has done a scale based coupler with a scale shank yet. Its something being worked on, I have been contacting some of the existing coupler suppliers to see if they want to pick this project up, they make versions for just about everything now, why not a scale shank that will be a...

    Treads Hey, Randy should note that he cut off the anti-climber portion of the treads. This is one part with the ends. He had his details in place before the laid down the tread-plate and therefore cut it. CJH

    Nysw F45 Hi, I have some answers for you. You would have to cobble the unit together with my products but its possible. A few guys are building straight SD40's with my frame, I have the treads and pilots in stock to do so. This would not be any different. I would use the GP D2 frame...

    Trucks Randy, Our first two truck kits will be the HTC and Blomberg M versions. Due to the multi-media construction additional prototypes will follow. The triple clasps are something that could be offered with this product line. We have a pre-order set up to help fund development on the...

    Trucks Guys, I'm working on new trucks that fit Athearn side-frames as an short term solution with the long term mounting our own side-frames. The issues are that none on the market are to scale with too much width and overly long gear boxes on the SD units to make them work. Overland...

    Bundles Randy, That is exactly what we do in the form of "bundles". You specify the road number and we will match the correct parts. If you want a NW SD40-2 XXXX we will match the correct frame and fuel tank. Next we offer a detail bundle that will give you the correct coupler plates...

    Randy, I cannot make packages for locomotives and name them ATSF SD40-2 123" Snoot for example. There are too many variations and it has to be more specific than that. For example: SD40-2W There are numerous variations and for this post I will use just the walkway down for the...

    Side Sill Options Jay, The side sills on EMD/GMDD locomotives are an interesting study. This might help you out in figuring out what my titles mean. The side sills vary widely (you will not see this in RTR) and can be classified by the notch position on both sides if present, the step...
