[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Hey Cappy! I picked up one of these Scientific sets at Xmas, we were supposed to host the family gathering last year so I picked up the set so the kids would have something to mess with, but plans changed and now I got this engine an dont know what to do with it, just keep it I guess, hold it for the next family gathering. Better to let the kids monkey around with that set than destroy my Climax or my Price! [/quote] Why don't you pretty it up a bit...a black painjob and some...FRANKENSTEINian alterations. Your indoor set might play havoc with the tender, I have found that when you remove the flange from the center wheel it can take the switches...but, the trucks on the tender are problematic. I am eventually going to replace the trucks on it with some Bachmann ones if I can ever find a set. I don't see a need to destroy good rolling stock for these things. If you blokes know from whence I could find some workable trucks at a good price. I have yet to try Bachmann metal wheels in the stead of those oversized ones it come with. I have prefected a method to replace the counplers with bachmann Knuckes. I would say keep it and go TERRIBLE things to it...all in the name of GR Science...of course. Say hi to all of California for me VIC!!! Major Carrales
