Still more, guess by next year the Grandkids' layout is due for construction, anyway [:p] And I'm way too lazy for building a third !!! [xx(][xx(][xx(] So my micro layout with only one BB is just fine for me ... [^]

I do not know the price of Märklin couplers or AC wheel sets, but a lot of money is left for those if you look at the price difference. Compare also with 45646 that originally cost more than €200 but was offered for something like €130 not long ago. Jeroen

Such double-header configuration is extremely prone to derailments (same goes for PA1s). That's why I run ALL my U.S. double-header Diesels this way (BTW - both are correct, protypically). Also prefer the looks. No derailments, ever since (and of course never happened with solo locos).

Joined: 22/04/2004(UTC) Posts: 12,139 Location: New York, NY		Hi Eric, my layout's analog base level is K, and this is where I run most of my F7s (they are analog). It must be a K-track thingy. Perhaps because of the somewhat tighter tolerances ... Running a solo F7 over a K-turnout (no matter if slowly or full throttle) - no trouble at all [^] But the very moment I try this with two <u>back-to-back</u> coupled F7s - they derail ... [:I][:I] You even can observe the two motorized (inner) bogies' inability for easy lateral movement. Although the bogies' frame "bearings" (big word for two simple pieces of sheet metal) are well greased, a combo of two coupled <u>heavy</u> bogies simply won't work reliably on K-turnouts. My best guess: two heavy motor bogies plus a rather tightly built turnout make no love affair ... No problems on the (upper digital) C-track level with my SANTA FE or ALASKA double-headers [^] (I just try to avoid those funny curved turnouts - they give me trouble all the time) Guess we can rest assured with our C-track, Eric. If I had known before also my analog level were C. Talk about learning by doing ... John

Joined: 11/05/2007(UTC) Posts: 187 Location: , Sweden		I have some F7's. My old layout was a mix of K and C-track. Only tight curves. Never problems with derailments, no matter what combination. However. After an accident with the T&P F7, that loco was always deraling. So i checked it up cloosely. The investigation showed that one of the locomotives axel/wheel back-to-back measure was to big! This occured after the accident with the T&P F7. After adjustment to the right back-to-back measure there was no problem. CONCLUSION. The wheels don't sit tight on some of the F7's. They can sometimes easely slide on the axle, change the back-to-back measure, and cause a derailment.

Ps: I am lucky not having bought that set 2 months before, cause my dealer now decided to split his sets. I saved 200 euros, i will get the 29841 with what i saved, only the wagons and the loco for 180 euros. Panayioti you should see his new offers at his website .

Quote: [size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:Originally posted by alonso231gery <br />Thank you Panayioti, now i want that new ten wagon set, the 45649, since you do have the 37491 you should start buying US stuff too... Ps: I am lucky not having bought that set 2 months before, cause my dealer now decided to split his sets. I saved 200 euros, i will get the 29841 with what i saved, only the wagons and the loco for 180 euros. Panayioti you should see his new offers at his website .

Right, Nikos. They had way more just a few years back ... Now they do concentrate on less items - but most of them are real bargains Guess today's dwindling sales force them keeping a low stock to overcome the crisis ... [:I]

If you use the NEM pocket sort they'll go on without altering the model, and when properly set up they're very reliable. Just make sure you get genuine Kadees as the others are nothing like as good.

I have been looking around for a 37622 boxed set with no luck. (I have seen an unboxed set) For those who follow the 37622, what has been the recent market prices? Regards, Thomas
