Bob: The please read my message more carefully. I was not discussing your AC-5. The second AC-5 as well as the Big Boy and Challenger ( and I think the AC-12 though I do not recall) went to the NMRA

All I can say is hmmmm.? ?I will have to take a closer look at what I have going on.? Thank you. Andrew

Robert... Many thanks for confirming this Jesse Bennett locomotive is at the CSRM. The model is of SP #4209, a AC-10 Cab Forward. It has the "modern" cab and is detailed correctly for an AC-10, 11 or

Interesting. Seems similar to M?rklin that was taken over by some hedgefonds guys. History repeated. I think in the years to come I will hunt for some modern Flyonel Diesels that fit into my roster

I don't think they'll reverse their decision of leaving the market. We are a niche in the hobby und we never were really interesting for them despite some lip service they did at the turn of the

As long as Lionel only recycles old tooling with new paint, there will be very little market for "new" AF. And as long as they keep insisting on making locomotives with every bell and whistle (and

Here is the Jess Bennett Cab Foward in the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, CA. They also have a Jess Bennett built Challenger and Big Boy.

The Bristol S Gauge Railroaders had a Flying Yankee on their sale table which went fairly quickly asking $2300. They had maybe a dozen used scale freight cars for sale. They also had a couple of dozen

I'm a bit like Jamie with the "late" Lionel stuff.? I once owned three OMI SD40-2' engines, a Modern Models caboose, some double stacks, a long Tank Train and other modern'ish stuff.? I've had to

Over in the model car kit world, a given car kit, for which tooling exists, and which might not otherwise be run, can be re-run by a manufacturer if and when someone contracts it and puts up the

Do you anticipate taking your layout to various events, or will it live with you until you move or replace it? My sectional layout is 5' (152 cm) long, since that's the largest that will fit in my

John... My model is the AC-5 locomotive that Jesse built for Lee. I did some work on it for Lee and know it well. Lee and his old BASS layout were kinda tough on his models. It went to Arden after

Here's an idea. Since Lionel apparently has some recently mothballed tooling, perhaps they might be interested in recouping some of their investment by selling it off. I don't generally model modern

There is plenty of people able to the design work and tool making out there if you have the funds to do it. Each mold will cost you about $100,000 dollars to create them. You will need 7 to 9 molds

FWIW: I believe the "sister" to this loco was acquired by Arden Geohring from either Jesse himself or the estate. When Arden passed, the Geohring family donated the loco to the NMRA for display in its
