I was not real keen on the new BNSF paint schemes when they first came out with it, namely the H1 scheme.
Once they started painting their units in the H2 those kind of grew on me.
When they came...

So true.
Take for example Atlas's latest release of the Airslide hopper.
This I think was the last car that BLMA announced but never materialized because Atlas bought BLMA before it was released....

Here are a couple of methods that seem to work pretty good for removing factory printing.

For applying new numbers, personally I...

Yeah KATO made the motors for a lot of early ConCor locos.

That would be a good idea because you completely missed my point and chose the soapbox instead.

I'm sure there are.

But then it becomes a job.
At which point it ceases to be a source of enjoyment and an escape from reality.

The trees in the last two photos look much better Paul.

Well I finally broke down and got a whole new camera setup. I've been out playing with it for only a few days now.
So much different than my old Minolta XG-M and slide film, Wow!!! Feel like I'm a...

LMAO! I just seen this a couple of days ago and thought of you Moose!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well.

Happy Birthday Mike!

Sounds to me like Paul just found something to ward off any moose stampedes?

OK, let me blunt then. He is one who knows how to price gouge and prays on folks who have no clue.
But what I was truly referring to was he called these KATO E8's, they are not...... they are old...

Glad to hear this Paul!
:cheers: to the two of you for keeping the ball rolling!

Funny looking KATO E8's?

As far as replacing body mounted Rapido couplers, you can use #'s 1128 (001 30 014), 1129 (001 30 013) or 1130 (001 30 012) "T" shank couplers
These just replace the Rapido style couplers.

Hello Bill,
Welcome to the forum...

I think you mean Conrail, not ConCor?

Not having done this myself, I don't see why this wouldn't work.
The only thing I can think of and I have run into this on older shell swaps, I would check...

The mention didn't work, and I just happened to stumble across this thread due to the name.

To my knowledge I have not seen any car like this released in N scale, nor any car in this scheme.

Paul,
I would image they are referring to these little jewels: https://tonystrains.com/product/tony-s-ttx-screw-terminals-4-position
These solder to the board and then you have the screw...

The 1030's will work just fine for those.
