I've not heard anything from Carl for a couple of weeks (since I supplied him with the last lot of vinyls) but shall endeavour to find out what's happening.

A class 04 shunter in BR blue. My grandson is really chuffed - he wanted a shunter on the layout.

Hi All,

After thinnning some of my loco roster out i have recieved recently an Arnold GG1 in Pennsy paint i converted to DCC using a TCS M1 decoder & added weight to the end trucks i might need to add metal wheels to the trucks as well the couplers will be replaced with MT's soon.

An Atlas factory fitted DCC C-630 in Pennsy paint is a really smooth running loco bigger than i expected i have to admit

Kato PA1 / B units in Pennsy again are superb both units are powered fitted with Digitrax board decoders.

Kato F7 in Cheapspeake & Ohio paint fitted with a Digitrax DZ123 decoder

A pair of beautiful E8/9 locos from Kato both fitted with Digitrax board decoders are the basis of my other passenger car locos

in Pennsy paint.

I'm not particularly into US outline, but they look rather impressive beasts!

Hi Claude / Michael,

Many thanks the PA locos are smooth with good weight in the chassis both units being powered give good traction for a scale train even on gradients with no worries of making the gradient
