Cut it down?...Cut a small notch and make that be the actual "firebox?"...I'm just throwing out random suggestions here...sign1

Eh...that's what Atlas said. Ionno, if you never had any problen and you've been around longer than me then I defer to you for sure.

With FlexTrack the sliding rail should ALWAYS be on the inside of the curve and you should cut off the extra with either a standard "jigsaw" or with the Atlas SuperSaw (SuperSaw works better IMO). You should use the rail joiners, then solder the joints. The joiners will more or less line up...

Then take the weight out? lol

sign1 Nice job, great weathering, and great scenery! Now just have a couple of the bars falling off the wheels and you're good to go!

Nice! NIIICE! I wish I could scratchbuild this stuff as well as you all can...sign1 Make me 20 please? j/k

EZ-Track comes in steel and nickel silver. Black roadbed=steel and gray roadbed=NS. I have NO IDEA how to solder anything lol...ah well. Good luck! :thumb:

That actually looks really cool. I'd have to stick to about 22-24 radiuses due to my IHC passenger stuff, but that'd work for me too!

Har har, har de har har. sign1 Can't wait to see your next pics!

You lucky <word removed>, you're all on spring break... Nice pics though.

"Original" Rivarossi Allegheny made by "Walthers?" hamr wall1 hamr

Nickel silver, just go with nickel silver...I've had so many PROBLEMS with steel alloy that I just don't ever want to see another piece of that track...

Oh you know what I meant...

I can't believe this is on the second page! Let's keep the pics coming! GEC, your layout is unbelievable and the trains you've got running are just adding to that. Don't stop posting pics now!

HAH! Eat that! Big Boy RULES! ...*ahem*... Anyways, yeah. Rivarossi makes some detailed stuff, but they don't run as well as Bachmanns and other high-quality locomotives.

And my bet would be on the Big Boy. sumpter, do you think they'd be willing to send me a kit to remotor my older Big Boy to run like these newer ones?

Ionno about being better now, but they are back in business. Hornby recently aquired Rivarossi; Rivarossi was actually dead for a while there. I have a 4-8-8-4 from before Rivarossi went under and it runs well, though extremely loud due to an open frame motor. Of course, the newer ones will...

^That is a good idea!^ I really like that idea, maybe detail them out to have little people all around them and put them on tracks that don't have power so any locomotives that accidently get sent that way stop before they reach the coaches?

And I'd like to rephrase something I said before. RIVAROSSI IS BACK! Yeah, you heard me! And the first three locomotives they released? A 2-10-2, a 2-6-6-6, and THE BIG BOY! Eat that.

You guys and your scratchbuilding, kitbashing, and general modification skillz...You make me jealous!
