There is a PM thing below the name to send a new one. And if some one already sent you one just hit reply. It's like the fourms.

[unionpacificchuck]

How do you send a private message?

[Guilford Guy]

Well Kobi, your not as dumb as me... (Well mine was a dim witted plot really...)

I bought my decoder and some other stuff before I got my Zephyr so I would have change enough to pay for shipping for my Zephyr. It worked.

Don't they teach how to write a sentence out west??? Geez, I have no idea what it is your trying to say...

man i had an ez command once - untill it blew up - it was an american one but i'm in australia the amp and voltage is different here - i was so so so so so excited, got it from ebay awaiting it's arrival [which was pretty quick] and then silly little me just thought he'd use a japanese camera battery charger converter as the step down from the wall socket to the ez command station - some white smoke and a popping sound later i figured that i stuffed it.

had to learn that one the hard way and the guy at the electronics store laughed at me quite muchly as did i.................oh well

[Anonymous]

wow have you got some work to do, i say this in a kind and friendly way to you.....you've got heaps and heaps of options in terms of scenery and maybe adding a holding yard or even a loop over a small bridge - you can really do whatever you want.

And remember - if your happy with it and it's your hobby it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks..........you'll get heaps of tips on the forums pages though, plenty of people are more than willing to help.

Good luck and may the train be with you.

 UPChuck if you are a ture UP fan you will like this PIC of me!

 

 Chuck, you need some tress in a bad way! PM me your address and I will send you some. I have some pine tress I made that are around 8" to 11" tall so they may be over powering. I have some trees that are around 4" or so. I will send you around 20 for free if you like. I have I would guess 100 that are not planted yet and at the rate I am moving on the K-10 Mining Section you maybe driving before I am done!

 As far as the E-Z Command, that is what I running as well. Some poeple sell it short. Funny thing I have around $1600.00 of BLI, PK and Yeck Genesis runing like a champ on a used $30.00 E-Z. I am not just right and like it that way!

 If you have room I have a engine repair shop I don't need and some cheap rolling stock as well. If you want the shop and cars I would like the shipping cost no packing fees. 

 The buliding is the small red one in the PIC. I have no use for it at this point.

 

 Funny thing I bet you had my money and I wish I was your age. Getting old blows after your are 21.

 PS, get Mon and Dad to buy you new curtains or make a back drop fast! They blow chunks!

I really did bad on thos ballast and i made aq crossing and it turned out ok......

[unionpacificchuck]

i need to buy powerd switches but i haven't.

[unionpacificchuck]

my best loco is my 2-6-2 because it can run best overall,my northern goes kinda slow but it can pull what you want it to pull. I have a ez command as my power supply. when i said that i add another story to my cliff i meant i took another half inch foam coner to my cliff ot make it a total of four stories high.i painted that last section with the little paint i had and added roacks to it. the ballasting didn't go so well.and finnally my track is a doulbe oval of worthless (train horn blows loudly to cover up word)...............LOL

[CPRail modeler]

well its good to hear that you quite lying UPChuck . this thread has already hit 4 pages! thats great. that layout is really coming along! what is your best locomotive, like in running qualities? i see that you have quite the few, something like 4 or 5 locos. wish i had that many.... how good is your track and power pack (control). i'm also wondering what you meant by adding another story to your cliff. i also want to see some pics of that finished ballast. i wonder how good it went. i think i'm yaking off your ears with all this type.

keep on posting!

PS, are you turnouts powered?

[jeffrey-wimberly]

I had one of those Life-Like standard line diesels at one time, I think it was a GP38. It was part of an Armed Forces commemorative set. The loco never did run well and I eventually threw the mechanism away and put the body on an Athearn chassis.

[unionpacificchuck]

I ballasted my track today and added another story to my cliff.

[SD60M]

Here are couple more

Man that life like Santa Fe takes me back!! Ive had that unit like five times blue bonnet and warbonnet. I miss it but i have a bachmann GP40 in warbonnet colors to remind me of my younger days of model railroading. I think that LL GP38 was my first Geep i got it for Christmas when i was like 8! UPchuck you are on the right track and nice scenery i wish my scenery was that good at that age! Great Job!!

[unionpacificchuck]

[unionpacificchuck]

[Hoople]

[Hoople]

Hey have you gotten your 4-8-4 yet?

I wanna hear how it runs.

Oh and sign onto AIM...

[unionpacificchuck]

thats about it, anyone have any opinions?

[unionpacificchuck]

it is a gp-38

[jeffrey-wimberly]

I'm guessing that the Santa Fe unit is either a GP35 or GP38. The closest I could find in the archive is 3460 (GP35) and 3510 (GP38).
