Hello All--Nice to see some pics of your collection, Ken--Some of it looks familiar! To start this week, I picked up a nice AHM BL-2 Dummy painted for Chicago and Eastern Illinois. Picture is a bit grainy, but loco is pristine, and has a working headlight. If I recall, these came as a powered and dummy pair. Peeking from behind is my Athearn SP TM.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

| If it's any consolation. Loopy, you didn't lose anything. I owned one and those plastic drivers tend to chip. Fortunately I was able to get my money back and then some on Ebay---chip and all. Get an AHM/Rivarossi.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
