How about a review if you own one.

well, here goes: The RMT Beep is not too bad a unit- For the price. It's good for pulling about 5-6 cars(diecast), otherwise, i've read that it can pull up to 10 cars,on flat,level track. I've never tried it on an incline. It's a neat little switcher engine, with an adequate level of detail, has traction tire(just one), only thing I wish it had was a horn. There is enough room inside for a horn board, but then it might end up at 75-80$ instead of 50$.

I feel the Beep should not be changed one tiny bit! A $50 locomotive is a Godsend in our scale, and I embrace it wholheartedly.


I hope it start's a trend!!!!![:)][:D]

How are we going to get new recruits, when we ourselves are being priced out of the hobby!! Take your trains out of the box and play with them! That's why they were made!

Welcome to the forum Sandy![#welcome][#welcome][#welcome]

I also think K-Line has some Beeps in their current catalog.

I wonder if they are going to sell the power chassis without a
shell. It would be nice for those of us who have shells with no
power chassis. I have a C&O shell I bought from Taylor Made
Trucks, but they don't have any more motorized chassis.

ChesBchRy, RMT does sell the power chassis, the old shells from Taylor Made Trucks should be a drop on fit. I don't have the website URL handy, but a Google search for Ready Made Toys should get you there- Good Luck!

As a reminder, we have an on-line video of the Milwaukee Road Beep we reviewed a few issues back. Go to the homepage and then click "reviews."
