VIA Rail F40PH Locos # 6437 and 6447

These F40PH locomotives were a team hauling Train #2, the transcontinental passenger service from Vancouver to Toronto in 1997. The train derailed due to a overheated and failed traction motor bearing on Loco #6447, near Biggar, Saskatchewan. The train wreck resulted in one death and numerous injuries. Via Loco #6447 and some of the passenger cars, were scrapped.
The models are (repainted) Life-Like with Micro-Trains couplers, Digitrax DN-121 decoders.

Canadian Province Series FTA&B Locomotives

The Canadian Provinces and Territories Series was produced from June 2006 through August 2008 by Micro-Trains Line Co., Inc. in Talent, Oregon. Here are the FTA and FTB units. In addition, the set includes thirteen 50' boxcars (one for each of the Canadian provinces and territories) and a cupola caboose. The MTL locos (both powered) are very quiet and smooth running. These are running with Digitrax DZ125 decoders (see: FTA&B Decoders). For pictures of the boxcars and caboose, see: Boxcars.

Tyco #638 2-8-0 Steam Locomotive

Here is a bit of departure from the N Scale Locos of this page. This is a Tyco HO scale train from the 1970s era. It belonged to my son-in-law but was recently dug out of storage and given to my grand-son. He brought it to show me and we discovered that the engine wheels were frozen and the motor would not run. The (pot-metal) frame for the engine drivers had become soft and brittle. Luckily, after an extensive search on the internet, I was able to find some replacement parts. It now looks and runs like a brand new Tyco train should.
