Does anyone know what driver diameter the USRA 0-8-0's had? (I'm assuming this is the prototype for the Life-Like model.) I'm curious to know if this model would be a candidate for kitbashing an SP

About 25 years ago, I stripped an AHM USRA 0-6-0, re-equipped it with the valve gear & "small" flanges, and redetailed it as CB&Q G-5 class 506. This entailed mounting Cary cuckoo clock headlights

A MDC 4-6-0 was used as a starting point to make a Espee T-28 Class Ten-Wheeler. I used a (Sigami?) can motor and super-detailed it using a combination of parts from Details West, Detail Associates,

I am working on the following: SP TW1 - #2908 using Mantua 4-8-0 frame & drivers (Within inches of proto spacing for TW-1. Drivers are slightly undersize) MDC cylinders, X heads & cab. and the

Hi All, I'm curious to hear what the folks on this list have created in the way of super-detailing/kitbashing/scratchbuilding HO steam locos. I'll start off with a few of the locos that I've

I'm currently working on a 40-class 2-8-0 for the M&A, ex-NYC. I started with an IHC 2-8-0 and sofar have sufficiently mangled the boiler to the point where I can put the new sand dome and steam dome

Bachman IS a Chinese company. Have been since before the Spectrum stuff started showing up. I suspect lhat LL may have similar (if not the same) ownership. FH

LL owns the factory and subs for Bachmann, Atlas and others. Thomas Beutel wrote:

I don't think so. Roco is a new vendor for LL. The next run should be larger, but still from Roco. Walt Jon Miller wrote:

Another rumor has it (and this one may be more accurate) that the 0-8-0 was started (in China) before the 2-8-8-2, but the 2-8-8-2 was finished first. It just may be China does not have the knowledge

I would have to wonder about the reason for this. I can't see any benefit for LifeLike subcontracting Roco for the initial run, unless Roco has some expertise that the Chinese subcontractors don't

Wait, are we buying this stuff for collecting or for running. Look what happened to the brass, now that we start getting something that is again affordable, it is snatched away from us

Here is a good one for the steam list to throw around for awhile, off of r.m.r. It been slow here! engines may be coming from China. If this is true, then the limited edition first run will be
