Re: HELP SAVE ALCO S-2 # 611

As I understand it, the LNE 611 will be Stored and Operated on the Allentown & Auburn railroad. They do need to raise $60,000 with $30k being a minimum just to move it since it needs to be placed on a flat car. Keep in mind that they are also paying rent to store it where it sits now so the soon...

Scott,
Check your HH660 parts books that I gave you or the electrical operating Instructions. There should be something on this there, If all else fails, Give RELCO a phone call. They should be able to help.

Re: Resurrecting Alco RS3 SAL 1633, aka NYC 8277 - Help

Dave I do hope that engine was barred over and prelubed first after 5-6 years. Also I would suggest that 1) change the fuel filters and have plenty on hand as fuel might have algae in it which clogs filters. 2) Get some WD40 and spray the moving parts of the injectors as they be sticking. 3) Put fre...

The 5 and 821 are owned by SNC. The 821 sees service from time to time, usually up the branch to to the mine. The 5 does not get used often as it does not fit any of the current needs of the railroad. The RS36 is privately owned. It is in desperate need of wheels and some other minor mechanical wor...

According to the Malls website, it has been closed for quite a while, however if it is open as offices as you say, fine. Kingston does indeed provide chairs according to people i know that are dealers there so it appears that you are misinformed. Still I never heard of such an odd arrangement in the...

I have run train shows and participated in them (Greenwich, Ct,Clark, NJ, Poughkeepsie, NY to name a few) and never had to bring my own chairs. BTW, Kingston does provide chairs according to my sources who just took part in that show. I would never have a train show in a closed (abandoned) dirty mal...
