OMG!! Another one? Wow you are gonna like that Rivorassi, I got their Alghenny about 6 months ago with Loksound in it, and it runs smooth as silk and the motor control for speedstep 1 is great. Abslutely fantastic paint and decals. I'm sure the Big Boy will be the same.

Congrats! Make sure to take lots of pics for us on Thursday when you get it delivered.
 
thanks mike ,
I cant help it lol, next im going to see if sean AKA 89irocinblue can talk me into an intermountain cabforward ,but that's it for me for a while :)
 


I've just discovered another railroad that has the identical livery. One in the US, the other Canada linked with the BNSF. Oh! Bummer!
 
We need a club called "Locomotives Anonamous". Frankly I have a "thing" for Mantua steamers. It's worse than that... (sob)... I like to take them apart (if they aren't kits to start), and 'bash them into something else! A couple of 2-8-2 Mikados become a 2-10-2, or, a 2-10-4. A pair of Pacifics, with part of the boiler from a Mike and from a Pacific became a 4-8-4; a pair of Prairies became an articulated. We have a swap meet coming up on Saturday. Please stop me before I buy another Mantua steamer! :p

P.S.: Anyone know where I can find a short Mantua tender? :rolleyes:
 
A Locos Anonymous wouldn't do me any good. I wouldn't stay 'on the wagon', I'd jump off and buy another one.......or two........or more, more.......................

Motley-
Could you use a magnetic wand used to turn on and off the Easy-peasy lights for 72' passenger cars? I bought two, and one wand will work for both! BTW, where does Mile-HI-Railroad's right-of-way run?

What? Did you hook up a regular DC power pack? You know it has a DCC Loksound decoder in it right? You need to run it on DCC.
