Well, all I have is a loop of track until I can get my layout track down. Working with a bum shoulder right now, I can't handle the heavier construction without assistance, so I'm in a holding pattern.
@RickM46 posted:That is what is great about the forum; congrats to GRJ and Norton; so in summary the fixes to the Mogul are the brass bushings, the right size tires, and a YLB for the tender; I think.
Well, that's the fixes to this particular sample, I don't know about all the others that are out there. I've heard tell of all sorts of stuff, but I was having difficulty believing all the various issues people were reporting. Pete tinkered with a couple and he's way better than average at working out mechanical issues, so when he opined that the major issue was the missing bushings, I bit for Alex's bargain. As it turns out, it was a good bet in my case.
@Trinity River Bottoms Boomer posted:gunrunnerjohn, in case you missed my post, I'd like to see your collection. Your B&M 2-6-0 sure looks good. B&M rostered them to work branch lines if I remember. Do you have a model of the Flying Yankee?
No Flying Yankee, much of my stuff is still in boxes right now as I'm in the process of building the layout. My progress, or lack of progress, is chronicled in this thread: New Train Room Finally Getting A Layout!
As for the collection, about 40-50% of my locomotives are on the shelves, the rest are still in boxes.
