Re: Proto 2000 SW9
Hey Ben, It sounds to me like a loose or partly broken wire, really, the ONLY thing you can do is tear the whole thing apart and look for the wire.

I don't have a track diagram, however, I do plan on making one quick as many people have asked me for one. The layout size is 11' x 20' around the w...

Sorry, I actually don't have any GT, GTW or CN power.
I do have a Kato SD40-2 that I can custom paint as UP 3300 if someone is interested?
Thanks

Re: FOR SALE :: HO Locomotives and Rolling Stock
All four sets are in this paint scheme, Brian.
I have all four sets, both the two Gold Line and two standard sets. All cars are in mint condition and have only been used for a short time.
Any other questions please ask!

Re: FOR SALE :: HO Locomotives and Rolling Stock
Yessir, thats the one! Thanks Jon for the photo.
The Athearn RTR GP40X is a really nice locomotive, has a operating strobe on the roof as well as operating headlights w/micro bulbs. Thin handrails and lots of prototype-specific details. Any other questions please feel free to ask.
