I'm looking for a Proto1000 C-liner 'b' shell and handrails. Roadname doesn't matter. Preferably one that has 3 cooling fans in the roof and no dynamic brake.
Thanks

Streetcar weekend! I visited a streetcar model club here in Dresden, Germany and took some pictures. Enjoy!

















All scenes are built after real locations here in my home city and they are built in the present existing appearance. Not one of buildings is simplified and often old and new buildings are standing side by side as they are seen on the layout. All streetcar models are built or modified after prototypes which did run in here in Dresden in years 1920 to present time.
The last two pictures show models of the most loved historic streetcar of Dresden, the so-calleg "big pike" (the fish) because its narrow front for better running through curves. It was a high speed streetcar with 50 mph, built in 1929-31 and were planned for use on a suburban line, however the lines were never built. Two of thes streetcars exist yet, one in running condition and will be used for specific events of Dresden streetcar museum. A picture yet of this prototype streetcar which runs from time to time.

So I have a Proto 2000 gp38-2 fitted with a LokSound decoder and an Intermountain sd40-2 with factory LokSound. I was messing around trying to put them into a consist, not only could I not figure out how to do it but now they won't respond to the throttle. The gp38 responds to everything but movement and sd40 is basically the same way except the headlight flashes twice when turned on and when the horn is pressed. I've tried to reprogram both of them and nothing is happening, any thoughts?

Yea I can just hear you guys jumping up and down shouting...NO GO AWAY!!! . But I think I am back. Time will tell.

Hello everybody,

I am looking for further information about the BNSF's Gold Bar turn (seems to be some kinda local), in Washington, US.

Can anybody tell me the route of the turn? Where does it start? Which track does it pass?

I found some videos while researching, but it´s hard for me to find out more as English is not my mother language.

The area is a nice theme for a small home layout, I think.

Hope to hear from you guys.

Manufacturers: anything except toy train brands.

Suitable roadnames: Erie, Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley

Boxcars only: ATSF (Chief paintscheme), Norfolk & Western, MILW.

Best regards,

Matt
