Awesome train! do you have a track plan? I'd love to see one!

@UnionPacific18

Just an 11'x17' single-track loop, with a three-track 'yard' atop the cabinets.

I'm working on something else in the basement, there's a preview at the end of my third CSX SD70 video.

Nice clip and nice loooooong Train! :-)

So what'd you think about Brasseurs? You got it there?

[RailRide]

Actually, I got it direct from K-Line...,er Lionel (after they took over production of the KCC locos as a goodwill gesture--this unit actually came in a Lionel box)

Brasseur has all of K-Line's existing parts inventory and was designated as the warranty service center for all the defective KCC SD70's. I sent mine there to be repaired since it was DOA (as well as another Lionel loco that had the same problem). As far as I know, they're a first-class operation.

38 little monsters, huh ? thats going to look sweet when you can run them all... Loco looks good, but I know what you mean about the K-line early TMCC issue, my E-8s are like that.. had my share of issues with them...

[RailRide]

Yep, 38 of these, and about 35 of the MPC/LTI ones. I'm not even going to try to think of how long both of those trains together would be O_o.

What's strange was the Seaboard U30C. The folks at Brasseur said mine was the first Lionel unit they've seen with the same problem, something about a incorrectly-programmed module in the electronics.

I have the KCC Rock Island E8's. Eventually I'll run my Golden State set (extended with some MTH Golden Rocket cars). Knock wood :)
