Ok,
I was hoping the pictures would show up,

What did I do wrong?

I couldn’t get it to work, either. One thing I do know is that you have to use the “image location” not the “link location.”

You just have to know what to do…:wink:

Glad to see you playing withreal trains and not them powered boxcars :wink:

Looking good so far.

That looks pretty good! Can’t wait to see what it looks like on the track.

Of course I will have to figure out what to do with 3 Thomas car bodies without wheels!

He won’t be pulling that locomotive around with a string like you do with your toys !

Mark… they trucks or coaches? I still think a string of the trucks outfitted with archbar trucks would look cool behind a logging loco from Bmann.

Hi Troops,

I have three Lionel Atlantics, two disassembled and have been for too long. I replaced the driver brushes with LGB 14MM ones and the trailing truck wheels from a USA Trains Hudson are the closest to the size of the plastic Lionel but shaking an axle and wheels loose from Charley Ro hasn’t happened yet.

There’s a pretty good idea…May have to work that up!!!

I’ve updated my site with 3 pages on the Atlantic, with tips, and 2 sub pages (see links at bottom of first page), one for detailed disassembly, and the other for DCC install, wiring, adding a connection for power and sound to the tender, speaker install, etc.

Lots of pictures.
