Weird question, I read somewhere that UP ordered their SD70Ms to be "simple". The modern SD40-2? I am not sure exactly what it said. I just know it had to do with the UP SD70Ms being simple electronically. I presume computer wise so they would last longer and not have as many problems? If ...

Does anyone have a map of the entire Guilford Rail system when it was at its largest with the D&H still around? I model a "fantasy" or freelance Guilford rail system. I am pretending it has become a small class 1 and never got rid of the D&H and was part of the conrail split. But I...

Is this for real?

So I go to the University of Maine and was wondering what exactly comes into Old Town and Bangor. The mill just recently shut down so they lost all that traffic, Bucksports is going to here really soon as well I think I read in the news. I grew up in Portland/Gorham so I am not familiar with the ope...

Looks like I do not have good luck with these MTH SD70s. I just got an FEC SD70M-2 in today. It is brand new from ebay. I placed it on the track tonight and started it up using its default address of 3. It started up fine and ran good at low speed back and fourth. Next I went to program the unit to ...

I understand some issues that will come with stencils. I do everything on the instructions. I hate using dullcot to seal them. Dullcot is useless and can mess with my weathering. If someone really thinks decals are so great tell me how you sell them to look like they are painted on not a decal....So...

Hey, I am not a fan of decals, and I thought of an idea. I am going to be painting many Guilford locomotives soon and decals just do not work out for me. I want to have some sort of stencils for the big Guilford G and maybe some other parts like the Guilford Rail System or Maine central that goes af...

Alright guys, so I have two NS SD70m-2s from MTH and both have that "motor" or gear issue. I have emailed MTH a million times and they will not repond. I have not attempted to call them yet. Could someone tell me what is the best way to contact these guys. Thanks. Also I want to get the At...

Thanks guys I really appreciate the help!

Do you think the 690 will be back? I kind of doubt it because of the arrival of all the new SD40-2s. I wish they would throw her back in service though. To bad for the SD26's also, those were the coolest looking locomotives.

Hi, I am looking to install a few Tsunami EMD sound decoders into a few of my units. I will be installing these in a Kato sd80mac, Athearn and Kato SD40-2s and some Atlas GP40s. I am very familiar with installing dcc decoders but I have never installed a sound decoder and I am looking for some help ...

I saw 3 sd70m's at St Alburg Vt today. One (didnt get the number) was off with some geeps by the sand towers and the other's were assembling a train in the yard. It was hard to see them since there is not much access to the yard.

Okay thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Hi, does anyone have information on the CN train to St Albans Vermont? I'm trying to find out when it crosses the border so I can go chase it to St Albans. I'm pretty sure it runs daily.... Also does anyone have information on the track that runs into Cananda through Rouses Point New York? Thanks a ...
