@ Sawyer, I'd stay away from 4nscale. I ordered 3 decoders from them a month ago, and I'm still waiting.
I e-mailed them after 10 days asking if it had shipped, they said they were on back order and were on there way. 20 days later, nothing. I'm probably going to call them monday.
@ Robby, you have more locos than me (I have 18, would have been 19 if I had 20 more bucks at the dothan show)
In other news, to avoid the confusion about people mixing me and Sawyer up, I'm putting my name in my signature.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

Beaufort SC?
No, NC. And it's pronounced like 'bow,' as in a hair bow.

So the railroad I work on (Yreka Western Railroad) is hosting a special train chartered by the PLA (Pacific Locomotive Association) on November 2nd and I am pretty excited about that. Should be fun. Thing is a couple people on another forum (Trainorders) are saying the trip is on the 1st when actually that is when the McCloud Railway special trip is. I have confirmed with 2 sources on the dates and I have already bought tickets for the McCloud trip on the 1st and I called the railroad today and told them I will be there on the 2nd and they confirmed the date as well.
Guess nothing what I say means anything, quite frustrating. I don't want people switching the dates up, that will ruin the weekend. Argh.....where are my trains?! lol.
You have too many trains, start sharing...
I finally got my order in with walthers. Swing Bridge, Motorizing Kit, Bridge Abutments, Modelflex Engine Black, NH U25-b Decals, Red Jewels, Dullcote, and a couple Precision Scale Company 3-Chime Horns. It should be here within a couple weeks. I'm way in debt now! Probably going to sell a couple things to get cash for Hub Div membership...
Here are some more engines in my model railroad collection.
I've even got a model of EJ&E's bicentennial engine!
I have much more that I will post soon!
From who? I can't imagine the current administration doing that... (EDIT: I mean who introduced the bill, not where the money is coming from...)
Also, did you see this? Lt. Governor Murray finally succeded in buying the Boston - Worcester tracks from CSX... after a lot of years of trying...http://cs.trains.com/forums/1545663/ShowPost.aspx
Fine...
Here is the new gem of my model layout, EJ&E 663! I'll post more soon!

The question is not whether you need DCC and sound, it's whether you WANT DCC and Sound
Got any pictures Robby?
The slanted nose does bother me on the trainline geeps. Although on some RRs it was proto-typical.
Well, my HO EJ&E SD38-2 663 arrived yesterday. It looks awesome, and runs awesome as well!

Lee Weldon, who shows up on this board every now and then, has done several N scale Western Maryland chop nose Geeps. I know y'all do HO, but he still may have some tips.
In other news, I've started building an electric bass for a friend.
