thanks Thanks for the quick reply.

I forgot. Is HO gage Code 100 the "old style" and code 83 the newer, more realistic track?

Problem solved Bachman has a Baldwin small stock tender (1910-1950) that will be perfect for me - already wired too! So thanks, problem solved.

Thanks Thanks for the good info. At least now I know the story on MDC. Anyone knows of some larger but older shops that might have some dusty shelves, I would appreciate the lead. Nothing against ebay, but I need 2 of these tenders and the item itself is so esoteric that I'd probably wait for...

Rephrase Maybe I should rephrase the question. Went on the MDC/Roundhouse website and all that is listed is N scale. I know they made HO in the past, so has all HO production stopped? Also. anyone know of a dealer that might have a lot of older MDC stock just waiting for someone like me to...

No ebay Not to be nasty, but it seems as if ebay is the answer to most of the questions on this fourm. Thanks a million for the reply but I would rather pass than be an ebay lurked for weeks and then lose it to a last second bidder.

I am trying to find a Model Die Casting Oldtimer Tender, number 404 and MDC Fox trucks, number 2904. Any help out there. The MDC site and Roundhouse site were no help unless I did something wrong.

2-6-6-2 disaster Got my 2-6-6-2, tried to outfit for dcc with a TCS T1. Didn't work at all. Called manufacturer and they said to send back. Haven't heard back yet. Big disapointment.

Can someone suggest a good source for HO decals (mainly for engines). Thanks.

Thank you very much. This is much more than I expected.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the paint scheme for a Canadian Pacific S-2?

Solution Think I might have answered my own question. Looks like a small circuit board in the tender needs to be removed leaving the connection for the wiring harness. Is this right?

Can anyone give me some detailed information on wiring a Mantua Classics 2-6-6-2 with a tender. I intend to buy a wiring harness with the decoder so stuff like the red wire goes to the motor, etc. is unnecessary. Just is there a plug n play and where is it connected is what I need. Thanks

Thanks, it's not produced anymore, just thought someone might want to part with one.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Kato EMD NW2, Canadian National black with yellow striping? Thanks
