I agree, it is probably the tender trucks. I reworked a Mantua goat that I assembled 30 yrs. ago. Put in a can motor, flywheel NWSL idler gear box & a decoder....Wouldn't run worth a darn. After

As long as you can completely isolate the motor from the frame (use a nylon screw and some electrical tape) and can sort out the left rail/right rail thing, you should be able to. Nathan Rich

If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on oxidized tender bolsters. ?Every Mantua 4-4-2 I've worked over had this problem. ?For some reason the lot of pot metal used for the tender floors picks up

Thanks for the info. I would never have guessed a 4-4-0 would have been built with a Walschaerts valve gear. I just learned something today. That makes it a good day right?Regards, Vic Bitleris

Also, here's a pic of one of the three of the very last 4-4-0's built for the US by Baldwin in 1927: http://www.johnsmurray.com/photo109648.html

That 4-4-0 was built by Baldwin in 1919 for the Red River and Gulf RR, close to being one of the last 4-4-0's built in the US. The loco ran for a number of years around Stone Mountain along with a

Whew! At least the temps here are seasonably cool, and dryer than usual. I have been busy with the RR Museum of course, and the first month was slow compared to other years. I finished lettering both

Hi Ray,Nice to see you here. I was wondering what happened to 2Guyz and sum trains. I guess it disappeared, but at least we still have you with us.?Regards, Vic Bitleris Raleigh, NC To:

Excellent suggestions Tom. I have gotten used to folks referring to electrical issues as shorts and I agree, educating on this is a good thing. While shorts may occur, they are very, very rare in my

Forgive me if I am too simplistic here: It is a common thing for non- electronically inclined people to say "shorted out" when an electrical item "does not work", but this misnomer confuses trouble

I'm trying to stay cool also. This next week is supposed to be hotter. I haven't been doing much with my HO projects, but have been working on my N scale layout instead. ?I'll be back to working on

Well, this weekend is THE MOVE from the Houston area (YUK!!!) to the farm in NW Arkansas! Pretty hot here but there's no other way to do it. ? Roger Huber Deer Creek Locomotive Works

Where is that, Henry? Death Valley? I knew California was different but I had no idea that the weekend came on Wednesday. (GRIN) 84 here in Gainesville Florida but 101% humidity. No use trying to
