Hey guys ! I have been interested in trains forever, but never took the plunge - well, in my defense, I was trying to keep things manageable with collecting only SW and super-heroes . By chance yesterday I found a BNIB #3677 "Red Cargo Train" (and locally!) for a fantastic price and it was a deal too good to pass on. Therefor, in 3 or 4 days I'm also in the railroad business . With that can of worms officially open, I'm already thinking of the next step. In the future I'm definitively going to get a passenger train (probably the Horizon Express), but for now I just want a modern cargo train. I would want to add wagons to the #3677 and build (mod?) a new engine, something like this: I honestly don't expect that I'll be able to make a "scale replica", I'm actually aiming at making something that just resembles the real thing, so I think I can pull it off. I'm also hopeing to use the #3677 engine as the basis for the project. Do you guys think it's doable? I know I'll have to get extra parts, but if the #3677 is a good starting point the project will be easier, and specially, cheaper. And about rolling stock. With the stock motor, how many wagons can the engine easily pull? I really don't expect something huge, but it would be nice to know I could get the engine to pull 4 or 5 with ease. And speaking of motors and PF. What extra parts would it be nice to have? Sorry for all the questions, but I went through all I could find around here but still have these specific doubts, so any tip would be greatly appreciated .
