BEEPS

Jim, I knew that. I did not post it too plain. Was not suggesting that you replace the reversing units. I was saying that with the new type, they don't cross up like the old Eunits. Thanks though.

Chief,

Did you see my suggestion for Beep lashups in the coffee shop thread? Take off one of the shells and put it back on backwards (long nose over e-unit switch). Eliminates the need to swap e-units.

I have found the running characteristics to be nearly identical to the K-Line Plymouth also. To pull my complete Bethlehem steel collection including a number of die cast cars I have to lash up the B.S.Plymouth with my B.S. Beep. Neither can handle the string alone but work great together. [8D]

I have a blue Boston & Maine Beep. Would love to see a maroon, gold and black version. They are nice and as Allan said, easy on the wallet. I just wi***hey'd move a little faster. Walter Matuch told me they top out at a scale 40 mph. Throw some giddyup in them and a horn and they'd be even better.

I have a bunch of BEEPs, and have had them pull 8-10 light cars without any difficulty (on level trackwork). Great little engines, and very forgiving on the wallet.

I have one coming in this week, with TMCC & sound, going to try one for a start. [8D]

Mine will easily pull ten modern 6464 cars around an 031 oval. They will pull a few more around wider radiuses on the flat. Expect to pull fewer actual post war cars.
