Ha good luck. I just run them together for drag freights. I am most likely going to scrap the 4 I have or play Baseball with them, lol. I might try to change the gears and worms to Athearn ones and see what happens but the trucks look awful, nose is wrong, cab is soso, CR Blue was purple, and you already know how they run, lol. I wonder if Athearn RTR sd60 trucks would work on these? I have them sitting on the to do rack so I am not sure when I will get to them if ever.
Mayby I will strip 3 of them and get them painted to CR and use them on the CR Ore train I have with around 110 cars. That train alone weighs around 25lbs empty with the Stewert metal bodied cars.

Well if you plan to get rid of Amtrak stuff let me know as I am always looking for Amtrak. As you can see I have a bunch of Amtrak stuff.
Thanks the bid started at $50 but someone tried to snipe me at the last second so I sniped them back. Not bad for a case that retails for around $400 - $600 from what I have seen online.
ahhh, i had a feeling it was probably someone selling it and not one of those "retailers".
Where in NJ do you gotta pick it up?
Here's the stuff I plan on getting rid of:
Athearn RTR F59PHI for Amtrak California (later version with all parts factory installed)
Athearn RTR P42DC in Phase V
Bachmann Spectrum HHP8 in the Acela scheme, rewired.
Bachmann Silver Series Amfleet I coaches in Phase IVb (actual IVb, Bachmann calls it something else)
ElectroTren Talgo Pendular Complete set with 4 add-on cars (complete prototypical set)
Franklin Lakes
Shoot me a price for the Talgo and P42.
I am hoping to head down there on a nice day and take some pics of NJT stuff like the ALP45DP and ALP46 locos.
The dual modes are getting more frequent on the Main and Bergen County lines and once in a while the pascack valley lines (diesel lines only), the 46's you can't miss'em, NJT has all the ALP44's in storage in port morris.
You might even get lucky with catching the NYSW's westbound road freight depending on what night your in the area. They've been running them with the SD60's they just got from full rebuild.
I just need to find a safe location to take pics. I know that some areas are safer then others and don't feel like getting harassed by the police either.
A nice spot is Ho-Ho-kus and Waldwick stations. At Ho-Ho-kus the outbound platform you can view them coming up the triple track around a curve. Waldwick station at the northern end of the parking lot is wide open, i've been there myself. Ridgewood is also nice but they just rebuilt the entire station so i haven't been since they redid it. The first 2 stations are after the main and bcl lines merge together so you get a decent amount of passenger trains during rush hour. If the NS H08 leaves early you might even get them heading westbound to Suffern.
As for the ALP46's, I honestly have only photographed from Elizabeth station parking deck. Its literally right ontop of the NEC and at the S curve. I know you can get decent shots on the coast line but i've never gone down there.
I sold everything but my UP locomotives (including MTH SD70ACe UP 1988, which I will eventually replace with the Athearn version) I had before and bought a few more UP locomotives. Looking for a few more and then I can start my BNSF roster. I will be starting on a layout soon and decided on a modern western theme. Depending on how they turn out after they are painted, I may look into some MTH C44-9W's.

My roster is relatively light, but then I've only been in the hobby for less than a year.
All are DCC, except where noted otherwise...
CN SD40-2 6253 (IC) - Kato w/sound
CN SD40-2 6256 (IC) - Kato w/sound
CN SD40-2W 5241 - IMRC w/sound
CN SD40-2W 5247 - IMRC w/sound
CN SD40-2 6126 - Bachmann
CN SD70M-2 8000 - MTH w/sound
CN MOW HiRailer - BLI
CEFX SD90/43MAC 123 - Kato w/Tsunami
VIA F40PH 6444 - Walthers w/sound
VIA F40PH 6415 - Walthers (still DC - future re-paint/detail/sound project)
VIA FP9-A 6525 - Rapido w/sound
VIA SW1000 202 - Athearn
CP MP15-AC 1415 - Genesis w/sound
Southern Consolidated 2-8-0 722 - Bachmann w/sound
And yeah, my CN fleet seriously needs some more diversity here... I do have a couple of Genesis GP38-2Ws and a CN trackmobile on pre-order, so that'll help. Actively looking for a proper SW1500 for the yard as well.

Hmmm, almost another year goes by and the thread comes up again.
Last weekend at the local swap meet I added a Proto 0-6-0 in CB&Q paint and a Bowser 4-6-6-4 in kit form.
