Thanks - Jack
Yup, those are Hustlers. I added details and sprayed them for the Lansing Model RR Club -- the Hogsback and Southern. I used the Ernst regearing kit to slow them down. The motor is in the rear unit and the decoder is in the lead unit. They are a bit noisy, and it took a lot of tweaking to smooth them out a bit, but they are fun to run. One of these days I am going to get a Flea from NWSL and re-motor them to quiet them down.
