I am from Ohio. Ohio is in the Midwest and is part of GMLUG. Oregon is definately not in the Midwest. I am not sure, but I would suspect that DixieLUG is in the South. Oregon is not in the South, either. Have fun on your trip! John Matthews James (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.dixielug, lugnet.org.us.gmlug)

James, I responded to your post earlier today but it didn't show-up so here's another try. I've been making Z-scale models under a microscope for years so Lego scale is a cakewalk in comparison.

Frank, Kathryn is powered by an old 12v motor pulling power from a dummy 9v mechanism in the tender. The old 12v motors generally run quieter, smoother, slower, and just look better for steam loks than the 9v ones. The new 9v motors, however, are (...)
