Looking for a nice boxed Chattanooga 2-8-0 that is super clean and runs well. Planning to do a custom model of the Logansport & Eel River RR #1 connie that ran in the 1980's near where I live. The Tyco Connie is the closest for the least amount of $$. With tweaks, both of my RB Connies run well, so lets stay with my Tyco theme for engines. Also looking for the Tyco model railroad book that they made back in the day. Thanks Mike

I got my copy of the Tyco book as a reprint. "The HO Model Railroading Handbook" It's the "Revised Edition" that has a pair of Coyote Pass Alcos on the front. Still has all the good Tyco stuff in it though. I'm thinking of doing the GP20/SD24 nose swap in that book.
Can't wait to see the L&EI No. 1.

I finally found a copy of the book on ebay last night, so I bought it. I used to have a pair of SD24's that I did that swap to and "MU" together. They didnt run bad and thats before I knew about putting better magnets in the PT motors and other tweaks. I need to figure out how to post pics here again since the issues with photobucket.
