That is the downside of doing things with the current PF parts. I'm hopping that
when the new train specific stuff come out that it will be a pretty simple
retrofit. And if I can I'd like to work the new smaller rechargeable battery
that's so posed to come out into the tender as well. Eliminating the need for a
battery car. Though I do like the way the flat car turned out.

Thanks. To be honest we think you non steam guys are just weird. :P
But seriously. Though I'm a steam era guy (even the diesels I've built so far
have been late steam era) I love to see any quality train MOC. Steam may be more
challenging to get running but you modern guys have plenty of challenge in
modeling paint schemes and body contours. I have a more modern engine I'm
working on (well if you consider an SD45 modern) and I can certainly appreciate
what you, and the other great diesel builders do.
