Checking out a new piece of MOW equipment.

Hi all, I have the original Walthers SW1 with just one truck powered and One truck for power pickup.  I had custom painted it for NYC and never run it as it doesn't run well.  I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the newer version (made in 2014) which has all wheel drive and power pickup, has the same shell so I could buy one and swap shells.  Any thoughts are appreciated!

Thanks, Gary

It seems like the Contests and Challenges use to be a big part of many of these online forums. I know a bunch of people have migrated to Facebook, but very few, if any, ever have challenges with any parameters. Maybe those who participated have all moved away from forums or are just no longer in the hobby. For me, I know something that challenges me, and also a deadline gets me working on things. 

Would anyone be up for bringing back the old Challenge tradition?

We've been getting notices from Yahoo regarding their groups. Basically, what they're saying is that any posts after Dec 14 will be made via email only, and that any post content there will be deleted as of that date. I haven't a clue how that's going to work, but since we've only used our group in case this forum went down, let's just call our Yahoo group as abandon and not even try to use it. We're planning alternate means of communicating anyway, so just hang tight until we get that working.

Not too many of us around that remember this day some 78 years ago. I do remember the president's address on the radio. I was too young to understand then, but I knew something serious happened. Even though, I will never forget that day and those to follow. Every day, the newspaper and the newsreels at the local theater told us of the wars going on in other parts of the world.

I was getting on an elevator the other day and a guy was getting off wearing a, "WWII veteran" hat. I wanted to thank him, but he was gone in a flash. Thanks to him and the thousands of others, we are free to have this venue to discuss trains, modeling and other things. We can travel freely without fear, we have enough to eat and we can work where we choose.

Remember those that gave their all for our freedom, and thank a vet if you have the chance.
