BLR - Accessories

Well since it looks like LGB will not be selling anything new in the USA or Canada for possiably another four years or more. Also LGB parts are running out (if not already) I went to my local Hobby shop today and bought LGB bulbs for my locomotives, gear lubricant, wire connectors from transformer to track, insulator joiners and a track cleaning block. Got a great deal on these LGB products. I am now running my USA Trains SD 70Mac with the Sclair centre flow hopper and a Santa Fe Tank car on the 32 ft of straight track that I have set up on my patio. Train cannot run on my indoor (apartment) layout because I only have 2 ft radius curves and the MAC takes at least a 5ft radius curves. But at least I get to run it back and forth. Ran it the other night in the dark WOW the LED lights were fantastic. Take care for now

BLR new Equipment

Well since New LGB products are no longer being sold in North America, I decided to pick up a few things before everything was gone. I picked up the Sclair centre flow hopper, Santa Fe Tank car. I cannot run these on my indoor layout,but I have a USA Trains SD70Mac BNSF (WOW). I run them on my 50 ft patio back and forth sure looks beautiful. I also picked up a WP&YR Combine car. I am thinking about making it into a Railbus if I can find the right front for it. That will be a project for the fall and winter. I sure hope that Marklin don't wait to long to get back into the North American market or they will lose most of the loyal LGB fans to other manufactures. I guess its a decision that they will have to live with. With that note take care

MFMR Convention - Amherst NS Canada

Just got time to say that myself and two friends went to the Train show in Amherst NS, Canada on the 17 th of May. I wasn't expecting to much due to this show being held in a motel. But I must say that it turned out to be a great show, lots of dealers and train layouts were present. Mostly N.HO and O scale. I am in G scale nothing there for me. But I had a great time talking to all my train buddies that I haven't seen for a least a year. All in all a great show and the organizers get thumbs up from me. THANK GUYS AND GALS.

BLR SPEEDER

Ran my USA Trains speeder on my layout to day, it looks great. It sits just to the left of the Workman's hut on its own track when not in use. USA Trains sure did a great job on this one, I really like it.

New Speeder

Well just arrive back from a trip from Toronto and I bought a new USA Trains Speeder for my layout. It sure looks great. On the way back in Fredericton NB I picked up three locomotives that were having DMS (LGB) decoders being put into them by a fellow G Scale friend. Cannot wait to get things running again. Trains not running for a month. How could I. Well I better get unpacking so that I can get those trains running.
