Well Matthew, you have one kick ass locomotive and I'm officially jealous. Is it 12-, 8-, or 4-wheel drive? Great buy, Jersey Bill

I think Kato makes 11 different radiuses of Unitrack and yours must be over 22 as you hinted too. The Spectrum is like my Tech 3 Command Model 9500 with everything yours has and that amp meter can tell you how your locomotive is running, and you want to be less than half an amp, so it lets you know when to service or replace. Nice video and Happy Holidays, Jersey Bill

The Hornby OO W1 class "Hush Hush" streamliner and it looks good with HO scale cars. What are you doing with an OO Hornby Matt? Even though the OO 1/64 scale is larger than HO British Locomotives are smaller than American ones, so they look at home on our layouts. Nice running session, Jersey Bill

Life-Like and Con-Cor were producing some nice locos and passenger sets in the 90s... at least for N scale. Not sure about AHM. I remember in the 80s AHM made nicely decorated coaches but they had no interiors. The BN coaches are way cool. BN ran stainless steel streamlined coaches as well... even before the Budd gallery cars. Cool set up you have there!

The CN Bachmann 90's train set came with F7 locomotive, hopper car, boxcar, caboose, track, and a controller complete with wires. The locomotive had the familiar white, black strips and all the rolling stock had the CN emblem on them. That was a great starter set. I don't know about the Bullet Train. I do know about the Athearn band drives and still have them running fine plus fast. You need to seal the deal and move in with the girlfriend then the basement project will happen.
