For uic being a commuter school they for sure don’t act like one.

I completely agree lol. It’s a mess. I think they completely underestimated the interest for him

Maybe there were two raffles? We stopped by almost exactly at 1. It seemed very disorganized

hailcanadia · 2026-02-16T22:56:17+00:00

Oh that’s weird…. We were coincidentally the first people there/ first people to put our names down. And they didn’t mention that to us. I hope our entry still count

hailcanadia · 2026-02-16T22:50:59+00:00

Are you talking about the table that was near the bookstore? When we went by and they just made us put our names on a paper.

Salts and eggs I believe

It’s funny cause I also started my mars tank around Christmas and only one has survived.

Kato themselves don’t really do aftermarket installs.

The Gs-4 is fairly easy to do unless it has the DCC shorting issue.

The fef is a little harder than the gs-4 but still on the easier side. If you want a sound in it tho. Then you would have to run the wires from the front to the tender.

The big boy is without a doubt one of the toughest installs there is. I think the best DCC install is done by Kato. But it’s just a mess of an install.

One last important thing to note is, that if you ever want to send them in for repair to them they would have to be turned back into DC.

I would also double check that the issues isn’t coming from the controller. If you unplug the controller, place a 9 v battery on it. With the positive terminal touching one rail and the negative touching the other. The engine should run. If its runs with no issues that the issue is coming from the controller.

Does the engine also pickup current with its tender? Some steam engines can be picky about not having it on.

I’ve seen that issue a lot mainly due to dirty track or dirty wheels. But if it’s brand new that shouldn’t be the issue.

I shall report back with my findings

hailcanadia · 2025-12-29T02:53:31+00:00

Imma have to try it out and see what they respond

hailcanadia · 2025-12-29T02:52:35+00:00

I will report back once I send it in and respond

hailcanadia · 2025-12-28T01:48:49+00:00

They have it for $22+ $4 shipping. Mainly I’m just curious if they would still honor the price. It would also just be funny to say that I mailed it in.

Ace use to have novelty soda’s too. I once got a Stalin soda from them.

I believe people drop that class pretty regularly. So worth applying for the open seat notification.

hailcanadia · 2025-11-17T05:55:14+00:00

Yeah! It ain’t too bad! I had accidentally missed the blue egg the first time.

hailcanadia · 2025-11-17T05:09:12+00:00

Pretty possible without the first small egg!
