Paul, Hot water or a hot hair dryer will soften the resin enough for you to bend it. I have used the hot hair dryer for minor corrections. (see link below...
Think I missed it.. no mention of modeling electrified RRs anywhere on the Information Station page  Best Regards Phil ________________________________ From:...
Dear Phill The article is still there, just downloaded it yesterday. Search on google for ' information station modelling electrified' first link directs you...

Git it! Thanks.....Weird... the link was via the Dec issue page. I couldn't find it under the Information Station page. Very infomative. Thanks Best Regards ...
Hi All , This episode is a quick review of 4 Japanese power units suitable for N scale traction. http://www.youtube.com/user/trolley69?feature=mhee Thanks for...
Thanks for another fine video, Ted. I've had my eye on that Tomix chassis, great to know it's a performer. I recently mounted a Kato 11-103 in a Model Power...
Thank you for your kind words. That Tomix chassis is very nice, and has the sideframes to boot! Does the 103 run as well as the 105? I am thinking of...
Ted, Thanks for another great video. It's clear from previous posts that I'm a huge Tomix TM-TR01 fan so I'm glad that others can see it perform live. I was...
I'd say the 103 in the ballpark with the 105 in terms of performance. After a couple of hours break-in, it gets good slow speeds. No flywheel, but pretty...
Hi all, As has been discussed, Don and I have talked about an N scale EP5 and some other shells, but the EP5 is under the most serious consideration right now....
Vera Those Birneys were designed a one man cars. The CSL experimented with them in the teens but found out they were too small for even the less traveled...
Vera I know you asked this on the Model Rail Radio list but I'm having problems sending an answer there. But, here's my answer… I use Easy Lift Off (ELO). it...
Aha! I was wondering if someone would call me on that one. But here's my justification. My railroad is set in the Mojave Desert during what I call the extended...
Hi Vera, The Model Power trolley actually isn't a Birney at all. Some people steer you wrong by calling every four-wheeled trolley a "Birney." What we call a...
Wow, that's very cool to know. I had noticed a difference in the styling, photos of Birneys looking more rounded and modern, but never knew it was a different...
Specifically, the four wheel car marketed by Model Power/AHM in both HO and N scales is a model of the Toronto cars, designated Class F in 1921. They were...
... Thanks for continuing this series. I got one of the Tomix chassis before Christmas to repower a PCC that had stopped working. I haven't installed it yet,...
I should also mention that this would be an all-new, CAD-designed EP5 shell, rendered by myself, and then 3D-printed to get a pattern for resin casting. It...
While I am not personally interested in the EP5, a dear friend of mine in Montreal is. I would suggest the original LifeLike PA (plastic frame) as the best ...
Who had EP 5s? I was never updated on electric locos, just traction. Incidently I used a Bachman gas electric mechanism in that West Penn car. John Armstrong ...
... I did a google search (only briefly, no in depth research) and came up with New Haven, Great Northern, and Milwaukee Road. I don't have any interest in...
I'm no expert, but I think the EP-5s were built for the New Haven, and were inherited by Penn Central and then Conrail. One in PC paint is shown here: ...
Thanks, Charlie. EP5s pretty much stayed on the New Haven, though they were in PC and Conrail service later. The surviving units were rebuilt for freight...
Mike, If it is close I will take one, I can squeeze it into the fringe end of my modeling era and area, as one of the PC's, I guess that would save a...
I'm not a heavy electric modeler but good luck guys! It's great to see this kind of collaboration instead of "why doesn't someone make the...?" Did these ever...
Hi Mike - As a New Haven N modeller, I would certainly be interested in an EP-5 shell. Some forum members interested in the EP-5 story might enjoy Joe...
