my CHALLENGER

Post by STEWART763 »

Hello one and All my Challenger is not a Tank I have had most gauges of Electric and Clock work HORNBY Trains

at this moment in time I have just 2 to sort of play with if I dear say the word play

one is N gauge and the other is O gauge 3 Rail USA and English

our pride and joy is this CHALLENGER it's had a new front motor that M T H could not get me after two years
I have replaced a front bulb and worked on the smoke unit there are not a lot of these about here in England
according to those in the know it's an old locomotive :)

it's a fair old size when it's along side the English Trains at the HORNBY Club
at present I'm repairing my SANTA FE ALCO it'sold as well

I hope some one likes my photos

Hello Stewart, they look great. Do they run on DC or DCC? Thanks for sharing.

Hello Joe there all AC from the USA I don't have a layout as such but my wife has no objection to me running them in the front room the CHALLENGER has a deep whistle and chocolate smoke or any flavor you like

if you would like to see them running I don't know if I can put youtube links on here

it looks like some folks don't do USA O gauge I have had most gauges and will add a few photos
do I just keep putting them on here or do I have to start new post

I'm also an ELVIS fan :) and have a set of genuine Box Cars

I also have Darsted Pullaman coaches with my family names on I'll resize a few photos for the post if your interested

what sort of Trains do you have

Hya Joe greetings from County Durham North East England,
it looks like, you should be telling me about my USA Trains,
for all those who might be wondering
tha'ts my Ikea cabinet in the Front room,
so you can see it's no little Shelf Queen and quite a good weight because it is not plastic like some of the new toy trains

here's a few others

Hi Stewart, no running trains now. I have modeled HO scale and the larger G scale trains. I still have a two truck Shay and a Climax locomotive in G scale. Maybe some day I will get them running again.
