Hi Toad,

No running today (Friday) I'm afraid the weather is cold and very windy.  But most days I manage to run trains in the afternoons.  The great thing this time of year is it doesn't get dark until around gone 10pm, so there is no rush to put it all back into the stock cupboard.

I run Bachmann one day and Arsito the nextThumbs Up [tup]

 BTW - I hope you are over your wreck and not sufferering any after affects.

No luck with the plow yet sofar only replies on the Bachmann forums are making me think its somthing someone custom made with a mold Sigh [sigh]

445 is running great as is with the big hauler lower, the annie lower is still dead though. I took the botom cover off and looked around didnt notice anything like broken gears or anything so I think the motors fried, everythings getting power and when I swapped the doner big hauler boiler & cab onto the annie lower I reconnected all the wires so the headlight & smoke unit both still work... Need to figure out how to remove the motor now, If I cant replace it would be nice if the loco could atleast roll freely

FordCVP71 I checked my feedback yesterday but the auction is from more than 90 days ago so cant see what the auctions were for Dead [xx(]

 I still got my fingers crossed someone will chime in with some more helpful information over on the bachmann forums
