David...I have that set of cars and they just don't look right with that loco. The colors are wrong and the cars are out of scale with the loco. I will post a pic in the next few days. I wasn't sure if the Bumble Bee scheme would be at all correct pulling freight cars.
Mark, I think I will pick up an MTL Nn3 boxcar or gondola and see how it looks.

Good evening....I have a Marklin 88035 2-6-0 Bumble Bee loco from a collection and am wondering what cars would go with this loco. I don't think this loco is a Z scale but closer to Nn3. If that is the case, would the MTL Nn3 cars look right? If now, please recommend some rolling stock. Thanks.

Here are a couple of photos I took on 5-6 in St Albans VT. Love the Jordan Spreader and the old Rail America GP40. Attachments:

BNSF SD70MACS see plenty of service in Nebraska to this day hauling assorted freight and coal from the Powder River Basin. I was back there at the end of March and they were teamed up with AC4400's and other assorted locos. Attachments:

If only we had the Alaska RR RDCs, an upcoming lightweight or two would look great behind it. Sigh....

I thought I had heard at some point that some older locos are in service in South America. Just a rumor but I seem to remember something about that.

Shamoo...are you going to put any lighting or passengers in there?

Hans, back in August, you thought the lightweights would be in later 2017; any estimate now since you are waiting on a production slot?

Shamoo, what do you recommend for a short circuit protection?
I should also mention that a Marklin Commodore Vanderbilt will get a decoder. That is probably relevant information.

So, I might be looking at having decoders put in a couple of AZL locos. I have an NCE PowerCab DCC system with power supply. For Z-scale, do I need to reduce the voltage going to the tracks from the NCE system? If so, what is the best and easiest method to do this? If not that, what needs to be done to make the DCC work and not fry locomotives. Thanks for your help.

What about lighting? Anyone added lighting to Superliners?
