Well we're back online. I guess it will take a few weeks to get everyone back up to speed and signed back up. As a dedicated O gauger with 40 yrs of model railroading FUN under my belt , my motto is run'em and enjoy.well I'm glad I'm not alone in here I'm an x-N gauger who recently found my way back to O gauge and it's great.My 6yr old daughter and I have a 4x8 layout in garage thats still under constuction and we are starting to add to her collection of equipment mostly lionel but we just added a k-line Erie RR 4-6-2 with whistle tender and smoke to the roster and are planning to join the k-line collectors club and purchess the New Haven EP-5 electric with TMCC and railsounds. This is such a great hobby nice to meet all of you. :D 
Slowly we are feeling our way around the reworked site. I run 2 rail O scale just starting to build my layout. I model the CNJ and LV / PRR in the mid 60's. I see MTH is releasing a LV white Elephant C-628. I ordered a dummy I will convert it to 2 rail. I sure wish they made more 2 rail stuff, those HO gaugers have it made.
O-Gauge Hi-Railer here. Model RDG, LV, PRR, CNJ, LNE. All the roads that served the coal regions here in my area. :D

I'm an HO guy BUT I do have 3 Atlas B40-8's ( 2 CSX and 1 Conrail), 4- 89' trailer flats and 4 front runners to run on the NYSME 'O' scale layout in Carlstadt,NJ with Andy B.
I modified the Conrail unit to look like a Conrail unit. Ditch lights mounted below the anticlimber and removed the beacon.

RK- I'll be sure to go over to that site and tell them that we're all over here, too.
I started with MPC Lionel trains in 1981 until I switched to HO eight years later. I still like O scale trains- if I wasnt cramped for space, I would be modeling O scale two rail.

I believe the MTH is 3 rail. I have not purchased the Allegheny, for now. However, I did buy an UP FEF. Unfortunately, I thought I was buying a set, so if I am to continue in this scale, I must now look for track, and a transformer. I believe this is an AC engine?
