:( Wayne Sorry, but I'm still lost. There doesn't seem to be an American flag on my Bachmann website. Hmmmmm? could've been stolen I guess. Not a secure website? LOL. Dick Texas Chief

Wayne I'm sure it's me, but I can't seem to locate the gallery on the link that you posted. Can you help? Thanks much. Dick Texas Chief

Wayne Where is the headlight, front marker lights and bell located on those undecked 2-10-2's? Do they have alternative locations? Thanks a lot. Dick Texas Chief

:thumb: You're right Russ. The differences between the 3781 and the 2900 series ATSF 4-8-4's are almost non-exstent. Dick Texas Chief

:) This is also not the 3751 series of ATSF 4-8-4, but the 3781 series w/52' 8 wheel tender. It was the largest, heaviest 4-8-4 ever built. Burlington had a large 4-8-4, (there's one sitting in the museum at Golden, Colorado). I don't think it was as large as the ATSF version though. Dick...

I'm sorry. They may have told that they are Bald Eagles. If so, then they need to get a better painter. With those boney little heads, beady little eyes, and humongous beaks, they definately look more like California Condors or Turkey Vultures. I live in the Illinoise river valley. Just a few...

:thumb: Great shots Don!! But I think those are California Condors, not Eagles on the engines. Dick Teas Chief

:thumb: I've used "Micro Kristal Klear" on many occasions and love it. I've used it to install side port holes in F7's and windshields in metal ho scale cars among several other applications. I apply it with a round toothpick. It's made by Microscale, the people that make decals. Dick Texas...

:thumb: Bob West is a great painter. He shows up at Railroad days in Galesburg, Il. almost every year and usually creates a painting on the spot while everyone watches. He also has a personallity that matches his expertise with a brush. He's a very warm and friendly man. I have three of his...

:wave: Mike; Welcome back. Athearn released a 6 pack of steel reefers a couple of years ago in "PFE", and also about a month ago they released another 6 pack in "PFE" with different numbers. These cars would be ideal to pull with either engine. Both 6 pack are ready to run. You can also find...

50 years ago would make that 1955. Santa Fe didn't start using that large herald untill 1958. The oldest it could be is 47. Also it is definately an Athearn. Dick Texas Chief

:thumb: Herc, $99 for an A-B set is a good price for IM F units regardless if the B unit is powered or not. One thing puzzles me though, when I worked for IM, BLW carried exclusive IM runs in "N" scale only. Have they started dealing in HO now? Also, Dick, All of IM's locomotives have see...

:thumb: I don't know about the FT's exactly, but the F3's and F7's look and pull GREAT!!! Of coarse I'm a little biased since I was working at Intermountain when we made the decision to design and build the EMD F units. I own 3 A-B-B-A sets and 1 A-B-A set. They are DCC ready by the way. You...

:thumb: Thanks Glen. That's the way I've done it most of the time but I wasn't sure it would work on the BLI engines. As for your second problem, you're on your own there. Dick Texas chief

Good luck Glenn. I posted a similar request over on Technical Q & A and no-one has answered it yet. I hope one of us gets an answer then we'll both benefit. Dick Texas Chief

:rolleyes: Please excuse the ommision of the comma after Athearn. Thanks again. Dick Texas chief

:confused: I have removed the lettering and numbers on Atlas, Athearn Bachmann and Rivarossi, but I've never attempted it on a BLI steam engine before. Can anyone out there tell me the best way go about it please? Thank you very much. Dick Texas Chief

:thumb: I bought a Rivarossi 4-6-2 Pacific, new for $10 once. The hobby shop that I bought it from was going out of bussiness and someone had cannibalized it for the motor. I ordered a motor from NWSL and after removing the original plastic mounting cradle, I mounted the motor in clear silicon...

:mad: Do you people get the gist of this move? They're reviving the fallen flag marques that they bought out long ago so that they can start charging a fee for manufacturing a model in those railroads like they do now for UP model trains. They tried this once before, but since the railroads...

Thank you very much!!! Dick Elmore Texas Chief
