Hi Guys, Great release, just one question if I buy the single F7 now will the matching numbers to get the A-B-B-A set be available in future release? Also will the draw bars be sold separately?
Thanks, Dave

While at home I had this built to hold all my trains over the top yes it is, but it makes pulling out and putting away a breeze holds on avg 20 cars a tray

Here is what I did and it works really well is is not that expensive. I bought the items at a website called gemsondisplay.com. under trays and liners I bought 1" stackable trays and the liners for bracelets or necklaces. And for travel I bought this side loading case that holds 25 trays. when going to shows I just put a sheet of bubble wrap on top of the cars to keep them from shifting.

One exception would be the brass Steam engines. Big Boy, Challenger, etc. While the motor will not be hurt, the gears that transfer power from the motor worm gear to the axle gear are spinning in the brass frame with no bushing so heavy loads will oval out the hole. I was running my challenger with 50 PFE cars at a show for a couple of hours and that night when I went to clean and lube it that what I found.

Just got my 4 sets and really like them, they track well even on switches and look great. can you give us any idea when we might see some containers to complete them?

Hi Boxcar, I really understand your frustration as I've been there. the one thing that REALLY REALLY helped me out with the stalling was the use of a gauge master track cleaner. I as well cleaned my track till it shined and had same problems as you are. the gauge master senses the engine stall and sends a voltage spike the keeps the engine running. sounds bad but does work really well. I use it with all my engines AZL, Micro trains, and marklin. Its been in use for over 5 years now and it keeps not only my track clean but the loco wheels as well.it just plugs in between track and transformer. best thing I've bought for my little layout. As far as the switches go something to check is if the frog is getting any power. I made the mistake of running my track power through the switch to power my inner loop so when I had a derailment the frog power lead was the weak point and it blew like a fuse. it was hard to trouble shoot because the frog was touching the rail for contact of power but when an engine ran over it the frog point would "bounce" off the rail causing stalling.

It is by design I've opened one up and only driveshaft support to the rear. plus side lots of room for speaker. Also just be aware VERY slow LOCO but it does pull a good load I was pulling 10 heavy weights no problem.

Hi everyone, Back in Portland at the NTS show a couple of years ago I got a little excited and pre-ordered all 6 KRAUSS- MAFFEI ML-4000. At the time thought they would be around $600- 700. Sadly they got released right after Christmas and I know ill be paying taxes this year. I didn't want to back off my preorder as that's not fair to AZL. I have 2 SP and 1 D&RGW never opened and new in the box. I paid $999 with my preorder and would like $950 as that is what they were going for on other sites not trying to make a profit. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post if so please point me in the right direction. thank a lot, Dave
