Jerry B44 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I like those PA units a lot. No more room for anything anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yes, it came as a 3 piece set! I don't have room for the stuff I already have. So I cut another hole in my shed and I'm adding another ramp to keep more trains assembled. I really need to double my capacity. I came up with the easiest solution would be to add shelves mirroring the inside wall of trains on the outside. That way nothing inside would have to be disturbed. It's been a year and I still haven't started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 I had to fix 2 different couplers so I could get things hooked up correctly. The owner had a long shanked set-up on the rear of the lead A unit that wouldn't allow the cable to stay seated correctly. On the rear of the set, someone attached a low hanging USA knuckle but it was upside down. So I wasn't sure who that could work for? Hopefully I will get time very soon to test these again. I slapped on a used KD coupler that I borrowed from another used trailing A engine I got. That will hopefully match well with my fleet.

enginear joe Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Well, my girl said 52... but then the train stalled on "the hill". So I removed six MTH hoppers. ( 2 of them are for cleaning track and they need their wheels cleaned and lubed.) So it should be 46?? I'm getting lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Sr. Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Just received this one and the B unit is in the mail as well. Couldn't help it with the sale price I thought was great anyway., I wanted and been stalking the NS F-7 70-2103-1 for a while so it was appropriate. I can't wait to run some of my PS2 and PS3 trains. I have fired up my track on my train in the yard project and been running the Bachmann eggliner engines as my test trains. I think kids are going to love watching the new eggliners.. Have a good day.

enginear joe Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Nice catch! I wanted them too. I have two sets already. I also got the PA set so I really have to stop! Who had the sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Sr. Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Joe It was Train World . Then I had to hunt the B unit and found it at Sidetracks Hobby. Have all 3 now and they are very good looking engines. Trying to save my toy money for York next month but been eyeing this set for a while so I took it. Stop, yea me to.

Larry Sr. Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Got to play with a big train today. It's my Triplex PS-2. This is gonna be fun outside running trains. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Sr. Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Messed the short video up , don't know how to fix it . Will work on it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Problem with buying from TrainWorld is they offer absolutely no in house servicing under warranty or not...the scripted response is for you to deal directly with the manufacturer.

Grant-Kerr Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Got this BNSF unit of evil bay here in Oz as a dummy. Turns out the shop was stiffed by someone and he got stuck with a loco that had been purchased by someone who had basically blown it up and then got rid of it to the shop. End result was I got it for $250 Aud and all the parts that had been pulled out with it. After some investigating and a quick call to our Fav. MTH dealer, (you all know who) A new PS3 board and a wiring schematic to fix the mess I end up with this I told Ethel not to look but was too late in the first photo. Now to assimilate it to the railroad colours of Armor Yellow and Harbour Mist Grey. The other thing to arrive on the day was these units in immaculate condition. Again purchased from our Fav. MTH Dealer. along with some very special spares he was able to snare for me for a small project. The razor saw is being sharpened as I type by Egor out in the Lab, err workshop, for the rear unit. The front unit will be also be assimilated to this roads colours as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Yes! You got one (BNSF wedge scheme -8). NO! You're going to paint it? If you were closer, I'd swap shells with you. Rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B44 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Nice, with the new one(Veterans) I have on order would come in December, as posted, but have not seen it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Picked up this damaged Robert's Lines Zephyr. Looks like it has never been run. Observation car had been dropped on it's end. Flattened out some, but don't think it can be repaired. It's brass with plating. New sign on back should work out. Might have Ray put the MTH stuff in it, like he did with my Zephyr. Will have ball bearing pickups also, having some Gary Raymond wheels turned down to size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European readers may recognise the cases as being the work of Mr. Jorissen of the Netherlands. Jens On 10/21/2016 at 5:12 PM, SteamPower4ever said: He does nice work indeed. I have a similar case for my BR50 steamer. To avoid the hassle of lifting out the engine and tender, I've fitted a length of track to that case. That way I can drive the engine straight into and out of the box. You can see it at the end of this video: Hello all, I'm new to this forum and just starting to check things out. I'm sorry this is off topic but would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for more details on these cases? I recently acquired a USA Trains GP38-2 and a LGB Stainz. I'd like to create similar cases for them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Sr. Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 This week after being out of stock for a while I received my USA 0-6-0 Dockside Army. It will go with the other two GP's I have yet to run from USA Trains. Can't wait for spring Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
