Walter told me BEEPs are coming back, so you'll likely see them soon.

BTW, welcome back Walter.

Glad to be back again! The OGR Forum is a great place to be, get info and talk about trains.

Good Afternoon Walter,

Thank you for becoming a sponsor of the O Gauge Forum. Its great to have you back. You belong here. Hope to read about new products your planning on bringing. Hope to see a lot of pictures of whatever you plan. Thanks again.

So now that we know the BEEPs are making a comeback, what road names would you like to see? Maybe a list of what we like to see would help him decide what the first run should be. I'm in for a Strasburg and a Black River and Western. Another run of Morristown and Erie would be nice.

Welcome back Walter!  Looking forward to receiving my RMT Soo Line ore cars from Pat's Trains.

John

Welcome back Walter!!!

CA John...

SOO much more than a SOO LINE Ore Car in future RMT releases. Stay tuned!

Walter

CNJ Bill...Thanks for suggestions. I know but I can't tell.

Walter

Good to hear; I definitely became a fan of RMT in the past few years, and it's good to hear more stuff is coming too.

Jeff - Chessie 1971...some 'cats' in your future too!

Walter

Thanks Walter i will keep a look out for them!!!

Walter, thank you for sponsoring again!

Great job Alan!

Welcome back, Walter!

Peter

Welcome back Walter. My wife and I had a great time talking trains at Uncle Bucks diner with you, and I love the ERIE RS3. John

John:

And that was a great breakfast at Uncle Bucks!...with grits too!

Thanks again...enjoyed meeting you and the Mrs. and talking trains.

Walter

NOTE: Belvidere, NJ is where the L&HR (Allentown, PA to P-burg, NJ on the CNJ) tracks diverged from PRR at G tower to go North to Warwick, NY. Still has trains.

Walter thank you for sponsoring this great forum again.  Looking forward to new product.

Welcome back, Walter…and thanks for sponsoring the Forum!

Welcome back Walter and Susie!! I still have some of your tee-shirts from the Yellow Hall at York.

Trainman 52...That was a long time ago...over 25 years now. My first York was 1977 in the Red Hall, then when Yellow Hall opened we were tables 3-4-5-6 next to young Mike Wolf. Rail Scene Apparel T-shirts were largest RR related t-shirts-sweats-jackets-hats company in USA then. A quality product.  Supplied the SOUTHERN Steam trips with Jim Bistline for many years along with other railroad customers like Amtrak. Still see those shirts in aftermarket sales online on the *bay...at 2x+ times original pricing!

As always, had fun doing it.

Walter

will be glad to see some B&O BEEPS return.  Last Christmas I thought it would be fun to buy a car for each of my 8 grandkids, have name plates engraved and attached and each one would get a car...then through the years, as they get together for the holidays, they can bring their car to make the complete train.  Tradition around this house has always been for the Lionels around the Christmas tree... This year featured my Dad's 91 yr old Tinplate (561 passenger series) on one track, a couple of 1950s trains swapped out on track 2, track 3 was dedicated to MTH Premiere series PRR ABA and passenger cars, and Track 4 saw MTH FA A/B/B/A pulling a beautiful premiere set of passenger streamliners.  The grandkids love playing with them and I love being on the floor sharing the legacy with them.

Would be intetested in Friendly items:  SP, T+NO, and family:  SSW, PE, PFE....

Glad to see them back.

Welcome Back Walt - thanks for being a sponsor.  I've got a little RMT on the Filing Cabinet Central right now!

jhz563...Everybody needs a 'BUDDY'

The North Pole & Snowflake BUDDY RDC car was actually produced with 4 different car names...Candy Cane, Jingle Bells, Mistletoe and Gingerbread.

Christmas 2005 Layout with CNJ Jersey Central Lines roadname (my favorite)..

Walter,

Welcome back!! Thanks for rejoining the OGR Forum Sponsors. My order for the five Beth Steel Co ore cars is in via Joe's Train Station, Hatboro, PA

Denis

Walter. Thanks for coming back. I tried to sign up on your news letter it keeps saying my address is not valid. Double checked and reentered same thing. Can you send me email?

grafmillerbill@gmail.com

Bill...your email shows as active on RMT email list at 4:02pm et today/Tuesday.

Thanks for subscribing and joining thousands of RMT fans!

Walter

Hello:

Maybe already asked/answered, but how do I determine what dealers are selling the products.  THanks.

John

cooperthebeagle...RMT dealers already mentioned on this Forum are Pats Trains, Holly Beach Depot, TrainWorld/Trainland. There are many more. Suggest you ask your dealer to contact RMT directly and I will get that dealer started with the RMT distributor.

RMT does not sell through the RMT website, just through RMT dealers. Website is just for info, pictures and information.

Thanks.

Thanks!

Great news ! Next up I hope beeps…..the little engine that could.

I liked the BEEPs also! Many different railroads and more than 1 roadnumber too. All units were powered.

My favorites were the 3 Jersey Central versions...

and of course there were 2 OGR versions too!

The Beeps ran terribly and pulled less than four cars!    The Bangs were much better but became overpriced.  

@Ken lionel

Not true at all from my experience.

Update 11-06-2022

Dave Ripp. Appreciate your comment. BEEPs are really neat locomotives and the pulling power of a BEEP has been demonstrated many times in GRJ videos and on customer posts thru YouTube. If anyone had a problem with BEEP operation, it usually was due to track conditions...grade  or curve etc., or perhaps a blown circuit board. BEEPs were programmed to run at a lower high speed and if a customer tried to 'crank up' the voltage, a burned circuit board was the result. These original BEEP circuit boards were upgraded on later production and were replaced until BEEP production ended almost 10 years ago.

Ken lionel...By the way, a burnt circuit board usually resulted in a slower speed with a greatly reduced pulling ability, (and this may be your root problem) but...the BEEP still ran.

Thanks.

Walter/RMT

I was operating G scale when the Beeps and RDC cars were being produced.   Would love to have a Beep and RDC in CNJ.   I'll be watching for new announcements.

Ward H... RMT BEEPs were made in CNJ livery x6  green/yellow/blue/orange, red/white. Buddy RDC cars made twice also. These all were at least 5-10 years ago.

Thanks for your interest.

Here's a BEEP upgraded to command, it's pulling 13 cars without any issue.

Here's a BEEP pulling 5 cars up my 2.5% grade, no sweat at all.  It can easily pull 10 or 12 on level track.

If one BEEP won't do it, just BEEP them up!   Do it like real railroads, add more power!  Here's three pulling 18 cars, including the grade.

So where can i get my beep looked at to run the way it should on a conventional layout?

My Beeps are conventional here's one running on 054 curves.

Yeah mine does not run like that

I have a few bad engines too. MTH, Williams it happens to all brands. I actually lost a motor in an FM yesterday. I have considered adding weight and a second traction tire to an RMT just to see what it can pull.  I don't run them often but may put a tank car train together like GRJ. I may also try double or triple heading like John that looked pretty cool.

I would start by replacing the old grease in the gearboxes.
