Thanks to a shell from Adams and a mechanism from Gareth and some technical advise from Ray...
...my Lionel AFT FA unit...
/tyco/forum/uploaded/shaygetz/AFT1.jpg
...runs nice and goes real well with the Bachmann cars. My two AFT cars don't like 14" radius curves...

| It was a minor fix, I just used a couple of small screws run through the sideframes from one end to hold them in place. Little booger runs quite well...many thanks.

Here's that Bachmann 2-6-0; On30 scale. I find some Christmas themed trains to be a bit over the top, but I like this one quite a bit.
This locomotive is part of a Thomas Kinkade train set, which was fairly popular when it was released. My aunt got the set in 2002, and said I could have it for Christmas. However, she only said "an old train set" to me before Christmas, so I had crazy ideas of a Lionel, or possibly Marx set coming my way. This is still very nice though! 
The locomotive has some nice details, but the tender leaves A LOT to be desired. The passenger cars that came with the set are pretty nice though, they are lighted and have beautiful artwork on the sides. I really like the details inside the locomotive cab, which I tried to capture here (I didn't do so well  ):

This week I'm going to show a locomotive that I've had for many years. This was my third locomotive ever, and after two Life-Likes I considered this to be the first "real" one. It's an Athearn GP50 that I got for Christmas back in Junior High:
I always loved it because it reminded me of the trains that used to run just down the street. Sadly, the tracks are long gone and I have to drive half an hour or more to see running trains.
Happy New Year!

This one doesn't venture out of it's box too often, so I figured as long as it's out I might as well throw a pic up.

Thanks. Happy New Year to you too! This is one of my favourite schemes Tyco did.

| Seriously cool c630, Mike, and an excellent photo to prove it. If Micronauts ever drove trains, this would undoubtedly be their chosen motive power!
