[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by egmurphy Geez JP, that was some argument! [:0] Sorry, guy. That's got to be a bummer. [:(] Been through a couple myself so I have at least some idea. Feel free to drop in and unload if you need to. We model railroaders got to stick together, even if we don't model in the same scale. In all seriousness, I wish you the best of luck in a tough situation. [quote]QUOTE: Jim: I am having "sticker shock" from the price of N scale locos. I found an Alco PA PB set for $190.00. Yes, that is one hundred ninety dollars, and it didn't even say if the B unit was powered.[/quote] Undoubtedly that is the Kato PA/PB. Kato is the top line in N scale diesels and their units generally retail for +/- $100 ea. Yes, the B unit is powered. Dummy units are virtually non-existant in N scale. In any case you don't want a PA/PB because it won't negotiate (well) the tight curve you're going to have under your tree. Plus you don't want to commit a sacrilege by having a fine unit like that wasted on an amusement park ride. I'm going to recommend this again, as I don't think you read closely yesterday. [2c] You need a cheap 4 axle diesel for your Christmas loop. Last year Model Expo had a blowout sale clearing their model railroad inventory when they stopped selling model rr stuff. Sold a huge number of LifeLike GP-38's at around $20 ea. They're just what you need for this. Many are starting to show up on ebay. Try and find one there. Most were either in CR, BNSF, or CFX colors. They're not the top of the line engine but will serve well for what you want. Ed [/quote] JP You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wi***he best for you and yours. Hang in there, and remember you have friends here so don't give up. Ed Thanks a million for finding these items. During the week I don't have much time to be on the comp and get other things done. I am working Saturday, so this Saturday is dedicated to train $$$. [:)] I don't know if I will make it to the LHS now. There are at least two in Little Rock, I have been to one of them and just was not impressed. The other one is much further out and will be a "trip" in itself just to get there and back. It is 630 and I am worn out. Best Wishes to All
