So what happened Doug did you get it fixed or is it still awaiting parts.I have some parts for the H9.

Does this look like what you need.?

Here is what I found and put together on the HObbyline train sets. It is information on 29 of them and on only two sets #1 and #2 did I not find a set name. I am certain that I don't have them all. 2 have single-digit numbers, 25 of these sets have 3 digit ID numbers. Only 2 have 4 digit ones and they and were the last HObbyline made. Each of these last two sets came with an unassembled boxed kit to add an additional car for those sets. Set 2500 came with a flat car; I think it is Pennsylvania RR. Set 3500 came with a Lehigh New England gondola.

The PA's only camelbacks were E1 class Atlantics Which did everything they were designed to do namely be faster then the Readings on the Atlantic City runs of which they were..The Readings very fast schedule between Camden and Atlantic City with engines 1027 and 1028 4-4-2 Camelbacks were unbeatable with what the Pennsy had at the time. So the Pennsy actually copied them except for the Baldwin Vulcain? compounding that they had just making everything bigger and heavier.? Still the PA loco crews didn't like the idea of splitting the crew. Some very poorly thought out idea of the side cab being more dangerous to be in then a rear cab. I think there were 3 Juniata built speedsters Numbers 698. 700, and 820. Being the first 4-4-2 types on the PRR they became the E1 class. I also think they were sold to the Long Island Railroad. They became 198, 199, 200 on that road.?

My last post here in April wasn't responded to and the Mystery of who released the two different 0-4-0 saddletank locomotives has not been solved. Somewhere something was written about these two loco's. The unique B&O #62, and New Haven #60 appear to be one off pilot models Or from a small first run with no follow-up main run. Till someone who knows says something.

?????????????????? “Lake Cities Express”

???????????????? Of the ERIE Railroad

?????????????????? HObbyline set #451

? Historic Note: One of our model train magazine’s the Railroad Model Craftsman in the past published Builders Plates, which are Photos and information on scale and toy train locomotives made back then in a post card like format. Occasionally doing Classic locomotives from 10 to 20 years back before the publishing date of the magazine and labeled them Classic. In the August addition of 1963 on page 30 and 31 builder plates 84 to 89 were published. For RMC this was not typical but special for usually three were done on one page. Plate 86, page 30 was a HObbyline Alco FA-1 and the model photo chosen was this Eire FA-1. In the descriptive text an important bit of information was a part of it. From information RMC had on this particular locomotive they knew it to be scarce (rare). This set is listed on the HOseeker site’s online 1955 catalog on page 5. There is a drawing of the set and a list of what the set contained.

? Important information from the builder’s plate is that these plastic models were first made in 1953 and ceased in 1957, also that the Erie FA-1 and passenger cars were scarce back then in 1963, I would say that now even more scarce. The models were issued as ready to run with a Polyethylene plastic body and nylon power trucks. And a Pittman DC-62A 12 volt DC motor powered the eight wheel drive that connected the two trucks by a flexible shaft. HObbyline plastic split knuckles were used. Post War John A. English “B” units that were made of Zamac metal castings were not converted to plastic. 1954 list price for a powered “A” unit was $12.95, the dummy “A” unit was $5.95. The Lake City Express set was listed at $41.50. These plastic locos cars, and sets were sold under the HObbyline trademark.

Here is a very old train set from 1955. It is powered by twin Alco FA-1's in Erie's green and gray paint scheme. I have since found out that the gray color was in fact a light green. The colors were Erie dark green and erie light green. The yellow is bright so a reefer yellow or UP yellow should look OK.

New here to this list, have a question:

With the closing of NWSL soon, I want to get a few regear kits for my unbuilt MDC kits.? NWSL has a couple of different kits, including one that doesn't fit pre-1998 lits.

Yes, I agree the original motors are pretty good but I did replace one of those motors in another 0-6-0 Mantua tender along with a sound DCC decoder and improvements in the pickups and it runs so nice.? Just wanted to give the same treatment to these other two locos.? I think I found some alternatives as I did join the Re-power group.? Thanks.

?The motor you're looking for is very common and used in most Mantua Tyco steam locos. from 0-4-0's to decapods and includes old time 4-6-0's and 4-8-0's. For quite a while both the locos you mentioned used the same motor. Only older 0-6-0's had a slightly different frame, and that's the real old ones. I am surprised they both went bad and you need replacements for both. If you built a kit you know about how to align the gears so they don't lock up or wear out to quickly. You should also know about keeping the electrical pick-up surfaces clean and oiled. That includes the motor shaft and bearings. Being as you know all this stuff you should be able to get at least one of you motors turning.? You should say where your from. Maybe someone close to you has what you're looking for.

Authenticast Gantry Crane, The producer of HO scale relates cast metal railroad cars, loads, also makes a powered crane. This die cast metal Crane is a one of a kind. It is a transfer crane for picking up material and loading hopper cars that are on the track below it. The material, coal, ballast, dirt is stored in piles off to the track side. The boom doesn't move but the crane roles back and forth on its track. The clamshell bucket moves along its boom the full length of the boom and into the cab where it releases its load down A chute into the positioned hopper car below. Back and forth the bucket goes until the hopper car below is full and the next empty car is positioned to? receive material.

New to the group and this question may be old hat too many members so apologies up front.

Several years ago I purchased a motor to bring back to life a Mantua 0-6-0 tender engine.? My first kit engine so sentimental rebuild.? I now have a Mantua 4-6-0 Dixie Belle that was my brothers first kit that I want to bring back.? It does not look like the Yardbird site has any of these motors for sale any more.? Is there another source or does any one have a motor they might part with?

Thanks?

Walter, a atter is a ladder when one has missspeled the word and missed putting in the L in a place without spell check to catch the mistakes.

My big air tank can be from any material. Brass plumbing pipe, plastic tubing, wood, card stock tubing. Small pipes are just wire. flat surfaces, plastic. The ladder was something in my parts box.
