Double-dipping again this week.....

Up first, the latest addition to the Ephrata Valley Railroad locomotive roster -- Union Pacific F40PH #3901, made by LifeLike. Runs and looks amazing!


Next, I bought this seemingly mint Bachmann Santa Fe "Warbonnet" GP40 from the Train Store recently, but upon testing it, it didn't want to run. Upon removing the shell, I realized that someone cut the wires leading to the motor, and must have removed the gear assembly within the trucks (essentially rendering this locomotive a dummy.)
I am now looking for a powered Bachmann GP40 body to fit my Santa Fe shell, so if anyone has one, please PM me right away.

Those LL can run pretty well, unlike the B’mann.
Ten times bit, twice shy. Bet you it’s a split
pinion gear. Don’t think I got any working
B’mann chassis. Might have a B’mann PT
motor or two with good pinion if u want
‘em.

Got this guy at the Tampa show I mentioned. Proto 2000 SD9 Demonstrator for $30. Only need to glue 3 of the detail parts and get couplers on!

Cowabunga, Blax. That is one 10/10 on the Cool Richter Scale.



This is my FP40 H by LL (on EP Model Train Club Layout). The
drive universals were dry and busted into smithereens, but a
quick repair was made using a few centimeters of RC fuel tubing
and it works great.



Couple Amtrak MOW's that I had painted. The orange one came out that way after
I tried to remove the Burlington red, and the color was about right, so I just
left it that way. It is a dummy.

That's a custom job, and by somebody on this forum. How on earth did you get it? Look around. There was a guy who did a bunch of topics on painting his diesels into that scheme.

Unless I'm mistaken.
