To respond to your comment on my profile, the HO Scale Trains video is back up as of a few weeks ago. I had to remove it for a couple days to deal with copyright issues then re-uploaded it. You should be able to see it in my videos list.

yeah i can do tht..no i didn't.. last i heard there was no train store in west chester..but thts good to know.,.i really don't go there because some of the streets are a bit narrow...really they got sued by mth?..thts something..BLI almost gopt sued by UP becasue some trains they were making were UP..like a marketing issue or something like tht...but BLI won i think

yeah indeed...his shop is cool..yeah those are hard to find..yeah true its hard to say they both are great companies and they both make greart trains!!

thts alot cheaper then trainworld...yeah true very true.they go faster then fast..yeah its brand new its been sitting in his case since the BLI came out with the T-1's...he owns his own shop in philly and has alot of the trains u can get at other stores..mainly rare HO trains..he even has brass trains..and has a brass PRR t1 to boot..tht ones been sitting there since as long as i've been going to his shop..reason is some of his prices are high..hes reluctant to reduce his prices..lol..well lets see MTH is good but sometimes they get the sound or the size of the trains wrong..BLI is good but sometimes there sound is a bit off but its cool..i think both are good no matter which u buy

i don't know off the top of my head i know tht my outer curves are half curves witha steaight section..i do all tht radious stuff in my head...well we were talking about the PRR t1 and i've been looking at them online.. thts the price for one on trainworld online.com $359 plus tax, but i can get one for way less then tht from a bud of mine which i am getting with my dads help..on trainworld online .com the dyfuss hudson/ Empire State Hudson are $406 a piece..thts with tax and those are MTH..i didn't see any BLI hudsons

yeah i see what u mean..i try to keep things in perfect running order do to some engines and cars i have..see u have a flat tarrain i have 2 grades on my layout and they both start and end on curves which means they have to be flawless but every once in awhile some cars jump..well maybe i think they retail for $400 but on trainworld there $359..is still high but i looked at one tht my bud had for a few years its lesser then tht.. so i am getting it from him...my dads helping with it..well i'll just run it on my outer main..the curves are lesser then my inner main

no i never owed branchline..but i've owned a high qaulity walthers car..it hads all the same issues of ur cars..but after i modified it things were fine to a certains level..well its a minor flaw they want to achieve realisem but at the expensive of the cars not running right on certain track...u would have ot have all code 83 sodered together and filed to have them run right...thts expensive..yeah thts true but at trainworld online.com u can get them lower then normal

yeah i had one of those coaches..i am very familar with them...they derail depending on the type of rail u use or they derail because of there wheel sets...there flanges can be a bit smaller becuase they are more protyphcially correct then others are..the best thing i can suggest to u is add different metal wheels to them.with slightly tall flanges..on my car i modified the trucks and the center frame detail tht went under the trucks to fix the curve derail issues..my was a walthers platium model..B&O coach..it was super tempermental..a friend of mine has it and with the mod's i did to it he's having fun with it...yeah those details are a bit touchy..if they fall off i just use Zap a gap glue on them..lol..they stay on forever then...will its not bad luck some big boys and challengers made by riverroissi at tht time were known for tht...yeah i was thinking about getting a T-1 or a Q-2..they are sweet!!

yeah indeed they are horrible..underpowered and only one powered truck with plastic wheels...i don't run mine at all..last time i ran them was many years ago...i'll put them in a museum or in a dead line on my layout..indeed not worth putting DCC in those at all..who they derail on anything?..i nver heard of passenger cars doing tht..and u put metal wheels on them to stop tht problem and they still do it?..man those cars got mood swings to the max...i see now why u want larger radious.. do u think it will solve tht issue?...well i had a challanger also the grey passenger one..the side rode popped off when i was running it then i caught fire too..lol..talk about odd..it was brand new also..it was a riverossii model..i know i spelled the anme wrong...i'll probauly get the athearn, trix, or the mth model of either the big boy or the challenger

yes i know brass can be converted, i own brass tht has DCC...i am refering coffey grinding motosr tht ones tht last for like 20 mintues then burn up..like those old life like units...thts why i am planing on getting my RTG turbo upgraded..i alreday got the plan for tht but since its not at the top of my list it can wait....yes i understand tht..i had one car like tht...i modifed it and it worked sort of...but i sold tht car a long time ago...i have other cars tht are made for 30 radious but they work fine on my layout..i've had to modife all but one of my walthers horizon cars but its ok u can't see the mod's on them..yeah indeed i think it would look a bit odd..lol..i don't own any big boys cause they usually catch fire when i do..lol
