DaminKeenan Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I've been following this topic and am impressed by how quickly the layout has developed. Is there a trackplan of this layout published anywhere? Thanks, Damin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaminKeenan Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks Chris. Does the headshunt that runs behind the grain elevator only fit a single loco? Or can you get any cars in there as well? -Damin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Chris, RailPace June has a nice 2 page spread on the Pan Am excursion over the former B&M mainline earlier this year. The two FP9's look beautiful, of course - I really want two in that livery with the old Pan Am globe on the nose... There's also a small dedicated section devoted to Pan Am near the back of the mag that details loco's on movements etc. Best, Pete.

Chris Gilbert Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 An Atlas GP38, very nice, may I ask where did you managed to get that from? A long search on EBay.com The seller would not ship to the UK, so I a friend in the States bid on it and he then forwarded it on to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock_2007 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Two really nice GMTX loco's I've had the same problem with sellers in the States not posting to the UK. I've never been given a reason? As I said two nice locos but is it me or do both short hoods have a small gap under them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I've had the same problem with sellers in the States not posting to the UK. I've never been given a reason? I can understand to a certain extent why they won't ship over here. I sold once to a buyer in France and it was nothing but trouble. Plus they have a big enough market in the US I suppose. Blooming frustrating for us all the same.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Gilbert Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I find most times if you ask nicely they will ship to the UK but sometimes there is the odd one who has no time for us Brits... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Gilbert Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 As I said two nice locos but is it me or do both short hoods have a small gap under them I see what you meanI've just checked my SD35 and GP40 and the both have the same gap May be it stands out more because the short hood is white 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelawareAndHudson Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) There might be a number of reasons that folks in the US aren't interested in shipping to other countries. They might think it's a huge hassle (it's not). They may have been burned previously (I have, thanks Canada Post!). Or they might simply be lazy. I have sold trains, toy tractors, and farm equipment brochures/literature to more countries than I can remember. The ONLY problem I have ever had was shipping to Canada. Simple transaction, an Atlas Undec RS-1. I shipped it, USPS tracking showed it entering Canada and then *poof*, it's gone. Frustrating. I wound up being out $60 or $70 and the locomotive. I did take a break from shipping outside the US but it didn't last. I was just frustrated. Sometimes the simplest thing to do is what Chris did, asked a friend over here to bid for him. Don't give up, not all US sellers have a fear of filling out a Customs form. Jason Edited June 30, 2013 by DelawareAndHudson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course now I suspect I would be bidding against Chris! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
