I could send a foam ball as on my Kusan set. Send your address. My email is in profile.

I thought of that and tried a ping pong ball last night and it wasn't any better - feels like it actually may weigh more than the balloon. I tried using a smaller balloon and that helped a little, but not much.

I may try adding a little helium to the balloon, before reaching out to Bob, pennsyfan.

If the balloon is supposed to float as high as Bob's, then the car may be defective as the motor doesn't seem to be pushing out anywhere near enough air to keep it suspended like that.

Picked up a K-line scale C&O Caboose from @Western Depot. Very nicely detailed, and goes perfect with my K-Line Mikado set.

Very nice Donnie.  Western Depot is a good source for K-line.

Another winner from LOTS

Yep! Scored this little transformer on “the bay”, for $1.25 ( +$ 13.25shipping Priority ).  Got (2) bonus things , a nice set of test leads & a new in plastic tubular lockon )😁🚂🚂.

that is what it is all about, the addition to our collections or layouts the continue to perfect them.  It's like back in the day when my wife stated and intervention when I finished my 200th booze car in HO scale

Where can I get the K-line Plymouth switcher set???!!!! Do tell!!😂😂🚂🚂😁😁

Check Trainz, Western Depot. They're forum sponsors. Western Depot has a lot of nice K-line items.  If all else fails, hit the Bay and check out some of the sets for sale. Patience is a must in hunting. Good luck!

Thanks Donnie !

I did in fact find one on the bay ! On my W.L !🚂🚂🚂 .
