20-9 17:16:45 rvn2001 I replaced all of the 3-pole and 5-pole motors with their new "bell-shaped armature" can motors.
20-9 17:16:33 GNFan Thom, the meeting was delayed due to misplaced DCC decoders (a second purpose of the meeting).
20-9 17:15:48 soccrdad30 Thom, 5 pole?
20-9 17:15:35 soccrdad30 Hi Stony

20-9 17:08:08 rvn2001 I shortened one of my C&FW passenger trains today.
20-9 17:06:53 rvn2001 I think the Pacifics pull better.
20-9 17:05:48 soccrdad30 when I first started, it was the Mikados I was getting, because they were easily on the market

20-9 17:05:09 soccrdad30 I have one, those I like
20-9 17:04:36 rvn2001 Most of my Marklin steamers are Pacifics.
