Yes, Tiger Valley has a website it is: http://www.lynnet.com/~tigervalley/ <br /> <br />I have a number of Hobby-town Units and they run extremely slowly and smoothly, the major problem is their truck sideframes leave a lot to be desired detail wise. I have a set of Metal Bodied F-3's with multi-drive that will pull plaster off the walls. We used the metal bodied RS-3's for switching by setting them at a constant speed and just using the reversing lever. With their slow speed capabilites and weight they were perfect in that application. <br /> <br />I have one Tiger Valley kit that I have never finished as the driveline was not as well engineered and cast. Their castings are a little rough but they offer all the different phases of the C-420, RS-36 etc. that the major manufacturers have ignored. <br /> <br />Rick
