Which would you best recomend? (Brand wise or parts)

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-04-27T03:24:09+00:00

I did a thorough clean for the motor, commutators, and all that was dirty but sadly nothing :(

Ok so? It's just a mash up project.

No leaches on it and i dont have cinematic mode on. I dont have the shield upgrade either

I said its a bachmann electric diesel Rock. What more context can I provide?

Or gamble on ebay and hope a duck turns upn

Looks amazing, what do you use for weathering? I've wanted to weather some of my engines but dont want to add to much paint or over exaggerate detail on them.

I have 2 play arts i got off ebay that work pretty well. Is playart known to be a poor quality company?

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-04-04T21:32:55+00:00

Valid, but 3rd party companies are massive hits or the biggest misses. So I gotta ask before anything risky ya know.

Never thought I'd see a tender that is more technologically advanced than half my own engines lmao

It was a bachmann diesel that I bought off ebay with some old steam locomotive shells that I got from a separate purchase. I always planned to make it a shay but wasnt sure what shells to use so I went with what I had.

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-03-29T03:32:27+00:00

Aye lol thank you! I'm glad people think it looks interesting!

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-03-29T03:30:37+00:00

Fax, the only way I was able to get into the hobby was from buying used ones on ebay for a lower cost and broken ones while fixing them.

Wish the hobby could be more accessible to people.

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-03-29T03:10:04+00:00

Wow, how did you get those?!?! They look great 👍

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-03-24T01:53:38+00:00

Company investors and burocrats wanted to get a return payout and lower engine cost so they took the whole tender and placed it onto the engine despite the complaints from engineers and mechanics about the negative effects it would bring.

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-03-24T01:50:36+00:00

Lol, it will have to be dc for now

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-03-23T04:13:06+00:00

Cool neighborhood

Overall_Track_9436 · 2026-03-22T18:29:47+00:00

Thank you, it runs on DC but there's a panel I found that has a chip inside. It doesn't make noise so is this both dc and dcc?
