(...) I don't think we mentioned this particular record at the time. We don't have it documented and I'm totally going from memory. (...) No, the *loop* was more like 240 feet or so. I mean that the *train* was somewhere around 150 feet. The layout (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) - well done for a busy man! (...) In the middel there are just the 2 hubs. At the end there are on each side 1 8860 hub, a 395 wheel with grey tyre(from set 100) and on the end a 4x4 radar dish. What I loved most on my model is a really small (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 8 Studs between wheel blocks. This is the answer I was looking for. I am well stocked with Bogie plates, but I have seen many good-looking (cute) short waggons of about 16 studs in total length. I thought I might try building some short wagons (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

Hello Kai, The Amtrak site shows a EMD F59PHI and GO site shows a EMD F59PH. According to my Field Guide to Trains, both are essentially GP59's wit different body work. Both are the same length @ 59' 2" but the F59PHI has 3200 horse power compared (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
