Ray, I don't think you can look down the bores of the drain clock holes and assure yourself that you have proper operation of the drain clocks. If instead you test the operation of each drain clock when you are doing the air test of the chassis, then you can ......

I think the best way to check the drain cocks for proper operation is during the air test. Just one man's opinion.

I agree that some 1/29th scale cars look way too big for 1/32 usage, however these are hoppers! And we're assuming the "1/32" mdc hoppers are truely 1/32 scale to begin width....
Anyway, I wonder which are the true 1:1 scale cars in this photo, cause the other cars clearly weren'......

Hi Charles (and other challenger builders), I thought I read this somewhere before, but worth checking into... Sorry I don't have the manual in front of me so not sure of exact part numbers/names. But for the equivalent part to #3 in the first photo of this thread for the rear engine, I had to ......

I finally ran mine up on rollers tonight as well... Spit out the standard gulp of oil for the first few minutes but seemed to settle in. Had a few connections leaking in the cab, easy tightening fix. The throttle lever was rubbing up against the tender. I also noticed that the rear drive......

All,Thanks for everyone's support so far! And not to bore anyone to death with this, but came across these postings last week and thought some of you might find this ridiculous continuing saga amusing (I know I can't figure this mess out at this point!) And yes, this did close ......

Hi All, No, I obviously never received the loco since it was up on ebay, and never received my money back yet from the original deal through the Classifieds section here in late September 2011. And no I didn't win or even bid on the auction on ebay, although it was tempting to bid on and see wha......

Yes, unfortunately it is. There's no mention of the alcohol conversion in the item description, however look carefully at the photos, specifically the cab, under the cab, and between the cab and tender. There's clearly a metal tube (from the alcohol burners) sticking down from under the cab and you......

Dear moderators, My lawyer feels I have every right to not only question the paying member through the forum since this is where the sale was initialized, but to warn others on the forum to help prevent it from happening again. I listed facts and asked a simple question. Thanks for trying to pr......
