Reply to "Lionel Alco with Pullmor motor - upgrade options?"

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think my best option would be powering the second A with a donor Pullmor chassis and installing the ERR AC Commander. I like this set
because it matches the Lionel Alaska O-27 Streamliner set (6-29041) that I have, and gotta love the Pullmor sound!

Chuck - good point on the Magne-traction. I used FasTrack on a previous layout in Hawaii but had major problems with rusting rails. I have moved to Washington State and
switched to MTH Realtrax, I will test using steel tubular track for my layout incline to planned upper level.

D500 - Nice conversion of those Williams! I have Williams Santa Fe F3 ABA and FA-1 AA - wonderful looking and running models - they are projects for the future.

Ahitpy - been on a K-Line buying bender, have MKT and Golden State (GS) AA passenger sets, and the GS has dual powered AA units and sounds, the sounds aren't
to my taste and may upgrade to a RailSounds board and swap in the MKT shells and use the GS set for parts.
