A podcast I get is from The Rail Channel. They podcast train videos for free with small commercials added. They are broken up into segments for download. The...
Thanks for the link. I forwarded this to the Milwaukee Road chapter of NorthWest N-Trak. ________________________________ From: ChicagoNW <ChicagoNW@...> ...
Hi to all. I am selling some of my PE equipment. If anyone is interested I am selling the Portland Boxmotor $140 lightly weathered, the VO-1000 $125 lightly...
There are pics of the VO-1000 and Boxmotor in my PE models album. I will post a pic of the PE NW2. Also the 44 tonner (pic in album) could be sold if the offer...
I went to Riverdale Station (Riverdale, GA) today. It is a shop for the experienced modeler. As I was looking around for things I didn't need. The owner was...
here are some tiny motors and gear boxes. http://www.shop.kkpmo.com/index.php/cat/c39_3-2mm-diameter.html also should take a look a the new kato portram, it...
Can you or someone else post pictures? I can't afford to buy the whole car just to find out, how it works or it could be kit-bashing fodder. True truck mounted...
I just looked at the first links... the overall lengths of the motors are 18mm, 15mm, and 13mm. That's probably a bit too wide to be axle mounted motors. I'd...
Chicago, heres some picts from some brave soul that disassembled theirs. would take some hacking and whacking, but the motor and gearing are pretty much inside...
Chicago ah i guess you have to be a member of the forum to see the pictures then. i can email them to you off list if you like. not kosher to repost publicly...
That would be great. I'd really love to see the guts of the Kato. Comparing the TomyTec to the Kato would be informative. I just love to tinker, that's what...
Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone in this group has ever attempted using one of the N Scale body shells from IHP on the chassis of the Bachmann PCC. I've been...
I bet it would still be too high up. visually, the main deficiencies of the bachmann PCC are the lack of window glazing, the silly passenger silhouettes, and...
I have not bought one of IHP's PCC bodies but, the problem is with the chassis. It is too tall. A simple fix is to file off the body tabs and file top of the...
Here are pictures of a lowered PCC http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nscaletraction/photos/album/928352765/pic/list?mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&dir=asc If you...
By the looks of it, filing down the chassis could probably lower it a fair amount so that it looks a lot better in height. I don't know about the shell's by...
As has been pointed out in the Houston Electric book by Steve Baron, photographs of the city's streetcars are not common, much less color photographs. So, it's...
The IHP PCC bodies are designed to fit on the Bachmann chassis. You would have to modify the chassis, as ChicagoNW detailed, to lower the IHP body on the...
I did make 1 pre-war PCC air car. It never sold good so I sold the 12 shells on Ebay. Most people do not like the wider Bachmann drive and I made my resin...
Eric Have you promoted the cars in areas that would find them interesting. Like the Chicago Transit Modelers Group? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CTMG/ Which...
For what it's worth, I just bought a car from you that is PE prototype, but I bought it largely because of the Tomytec drive capability. I'm fine with...
The Bachmann mechanism is a good fit for IHP. what othermechanism are you going to use? REgards, JE ________________________________ From: roconnor30319...
Eric - Many of us right now are hurting due to the economy. While I would love to purchase a couple of your North Shore cars (I remember - barely - riding...
These are great points and very helpful to me. I am not blameing anyone. I am not sure what direction to go. Pictures are a problem because my web program...
Eric, I just spent the last hour trying to find a Chicago Surface Lines car that matches the picture that you have listed as: NTK7 USD40.00 NTK7 CLS 246-254 ...
I'd be interested in a decent pre-war PCC if one was available. I'm not so sure whether the width of the Bachmann or IHP models really matters overly much. Or...
So here is the formula. Buy a brand new Bachmann PCC making sure it has black gears in the trucks. Order a Prewar PCC body from IHP Order a PCC Trolley pole...
