Hi Gang:

Last weekend was the 25th Annual I-Hobby Show at the Rosemont Convention Center near O'Hare, always one of our favorite shows. The links below are to various videos shot at the show arranged/edited by railroad. Enjoy as we did.

1948 20th Century Ltd

As a programming note, the Willaims AA only pulled the 10 or 12 car version for 30 minutes requiring the Niagara and K-Line E8's which did fine. The Williams would only pull 5 or 6 cars for any length of time. Subsequently Hotwater Sasquatch and myself all ordered the powered driver conversion kit for the dummy unit. As Bachmann was at the show, they related that you cannot buy an A-A with two powered, only the conversion kit for the second unit. So Scott needs to make sure that the E7 drives he is proposing are robust enough for the 12 car train.
