RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2011 http://qsisolutions.com/products/techinfo/revolution/q-revo_codes_diesel.html Scroll down to RDC! Available from Tony's Train Exchange, a very reliable international seller in Vermont, who happens to be at the same address as QSI Solutions, for whom Tony Parisi acts as front-of-house. I have a dozen or more QSI products and am very happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2011 Saw that N scale Jetrain demo'd at the NRMA convention in Sacramento this summer. Very impressive. My other half wants me to buy her one ! Yes we are both nuts!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have a couple of HO RDCs, but I'm not sure they've ever done much on the layout. One is brass, but has a truly awful mechanism. The other is Proto, which is much better detailed, of course, if you can stand plastic. Neither cost very much. They sit in the pending pile, really.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have 2 of the Proto 1000 Budd railcar but stripped the motors out of them as on Fort Myers they are top and tailed by locos as per the real Seminole Gulf Coast Railway do (or certainly did in the 1990's). When I asked why they didn't run under their own power I was told that the power units were converted to run the air con! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 If you are really nuts, there is this one in N: http://www.katousa.c...E-NRDC-Jet.html Adrian I bought a B-36 Peacemaker kit (supposedly the biggest plastic aeroplane kit ever made) just to get the jet engine pod to convert an HO RDC. The 1:72 engines are a bit overscale but might just about look OK. However, I chickened out of ruining an expensive kit just in order to ruin a relatively inexpensive RDC! Anyone want a 1:72 Peacemaker kit? CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Anyone want a 1:72 Peacemaker kit? Already have one in the collection of unbuilt kits (along with a B-47, a B-52, an XB-70, and at least one B-58). I'd agree it is probably the largest 1/72 kit and may even be the largest plastic aircraft model. It is shorter than my 1/72 XB-70 kit, but much bulkier.
