| 8-10 1:04:30 | ejshelton | Just fine |
| 8-10 1:03:28 | rvn2001 | How are you tonight? |
| 8-10 1:03:15 | rvn2001 | Hi Ellen. |
| 8-10 1:03:12 | ejshelton | Hi Thom |
| 4-10 18:11:42 | rvn2001 | ZU Wednesday. |
| 4-10 18:11:28 | GNFan | Nothing from me, Thom. ZU Wednesday.... |
| 4-10 18:11:03 | GNFan | Well, Tex, er,*Thom*, looks like it''s just the two of us left. |
| 4-10 18:10:47 | rvn2001 | That leaves you and me, Mike. Anything we need/want to discuss? |
| 4-10 18:09:28 | GNFan | Bye Ellen and John. |
| 4-10 18:09:17 | rvn2001 | Later, John. |
| 4-10 18:09:11 | GNFan | The idea is that the "law of supply and demand" is at work here - if no new MTL stuff is being made, the price in the pre-owned market can and does charge more (and somebody is willing to pay it). But the markup generally seems excessive. |
| 4-10 18:08:52 | soccrdad30 | later everyone!! |
| 4-10 18:08:44 | soccrdad30 | and time for me to get back to the girls |
| 4-10 18:08:24 | rvn2001 | Have a nice nap, Ellen. |
| 4-10 18:08:08 | soccrdad30 | have a good day Ellen |
| 4-10 18:07:58 | soccrdad30 | the one good thing about MTL, was everything was cheap. especially for repaints or kitbashes |
| 4-10 18:07:45 | ejshelton | Time for my Sunday afternoon nap |
| 4-10 18:07:41 | rvn2001 | Not until after they're done with N scale. |
| 4-10 18:07:10 | soccrdad30 | I wonder if Atlas will come up with some new stuff |
| 4-10 18:06:16 | rvn2001 | Any new locos would have to be Atlas. |
| 4-10 18:06:09 | soccrdad30 | understand |
| 4-10 18:05:51 | rvn2001 | That's because MTL doesn't and can't make them any more. |
| 4-10 18:05:11 | soccrdad30 | some of the MTL F7's are listed at 160.00 or more, and I have seen dummy MTl F7's at 100.00, crazy |
| 4-10 18:02:53 | soccrdad30 | and actually the same for all locos expecially the MTL's |
| 4-10 18:02:46 | rvn2001 |
Those must be "Collector's Items".  |
| 4-10 18:01:52 | soccrdad30 | I see some SW1500's on ebay and they want way too much |
| 4-10 18:01:46 | ejshelton | I agree |
| 4-10 18:01:44 | GNFan | ....says the font of profundity. |
| 4-10 18:01:19 | GNFan | A working loco for not much money is good. |
| 4-10 18:01:02 | soccrdad30 | I am getting a small stable of SW1500's |
| 4-10 18:00:18 | soccrdad30 | I agree! |
| 4-10 18:00:02 | rvn2001 | Sounds like you got a good deal, then. |
| 4-10 17:59:32 | soccrdad30 | yep, every thing is fine, but I think the wheels do need cleaning abit |
| 4-10 17:58:40 | rvn2001 | So...front light works and rear light works? |
| 4-10 17:57:44 | soccrdad30 | now running in reverse, and that light works |
| 4-10 17:57:04 | soccrdad30 | good to know |
| 4-10 17:56:51 | soccrdad30 | the light works |
| 4-10 17:56:48 | rvn2001 | The foam cleaner is OK. Put some alcohol on the foam and run the loco on it to clean the wheels. DON'T use anything with wire bristles since the loco had traction tires on it. |
| 4-10 17:56:41 | soccrdad30 | The loco run! but I get a few clicks off the tracks |
| 4-10 17:53:44 | soccrdad30 | yes |
| 4-10 17:52:26 | rvn2001 | Are you talking about the new foam cleaner that you got recently? |
| 4-10 17:51:19 | soccrdad30 | question... can I use my wheel cleaner on the AZL switcher? |
| 4-10 17:49:03 | soccrdad30 | very cool Thom |
| 4-10 17:46:53 | rvn2001 | I'm happy just doing things for myself and a few select friends. |
| 4-10 17:46:53 | ejshelton | I'm sure there are..... |
| 4-10 17:46:23 | soccrdad30 | but, I bet there are many train modelers out there that have a few locos that need repair |
| 4-10 17:46:01 | rvn2001 | one or more |
| 4-10 17:45:52 | rvn2001 | He's planning to buy oe or more Nn3 locos for me to build for him. |
| 4-10 17:45:47 | soccrdad30 | I think you would want to pace yourself and not get too crazy getting work |
| 4-10 17:45:06 | ejshelton | You probably do Thom |
