Anybody for FEC Florida East Coast?

Beep no.

GP40-2 YES!

Both are great looking trains. When I get my layout started I intend to include an FEP and place a lot of Florida palm trees. 

I've always loved there paint schemes but I model the Midwest & unfortunately they never ran here.

What, no flamingos? Surely they will put them on the production models?

No, but I'd be all over a GM&O S-4 Alco Bang; probably two. Especially after seeing the

new Lionel GM&O S-2 Alco for $700 or so. 

 

 

RE: the beautiful picture Marty just posted....

 

... and friends gave me the raspberries about buy a 'fantasy' Cab Forward.

 

REALLY, a snow plow for Florida?

 

Marty, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Best,

Dave 

LOL! It would be converted to a post-hurricane sand plow. 

Gary might be right.  I have been in Florida after the big storms and this might work to uncover the tracks.

 

I got this from Mike.  If you look you will see he signed it for me.  I have been pushing him to make these and I bet more than a few guys would purchase them.

Hi Walter,

That color scheme could work for the "Beef" as well! Come to think of it, the current blue with red & white stripes would look good on the "Beep", too.

Is there any way to keep the "Beep" or the "Beef" from stalling or going into neutral when passing over an Atlas turnout due to the short wheelbase of the pickup rollers? I love my "Beep", but the only way I can run it on our club's modular layout is to lock the E-unit into forward only and crank up the throttle so it can coast through the isolated part of the turnout.

Florida East Coast Railway Acquires 24 Locomotives from GE Transportation

Bill Nielsen:

 

BEEF A-A and B have electrical molex male/female connector wires to allow pickup from all 6 wheels (+2 wheels w/traction tires)and all 4 rollers. Will not stall on switches.

 

BEEP (newer production only) has these same molex connectors. Will also MU with BEEF A-A or B.

 

Molex connectors are not available as part at this time.

 

Hope this helps.

There have not been any Lionel O Scale FEC 50' Modern Boxcars and FEC Double-Door 50' Boxcars.

 

Florida East Coast has Greenbrier All-Purpose Stack Cars for Intermodal Containers that have not been produced in O Scale.

 

Florida East Coast had 45' Trailers and 89' Flat Cars that could be produced as a set by Atlas O.

 

FEC 7204 is a 53' flat car like the PS-4 flat car made by Lionel.

I have a Evans 53ft DD boxcar from Atlas O in FEC paint. 

K-line made a 40ft well car in FEC. I don't know the exact prototype but its pretty darn close to a greenbrier. 

I really like the new paint scheme.

Atlas O has produced FEC 45' trailers

MTH can make Florida East Coast HUSKY-STACK Intermodal Well Cars using their current 48' well car, because it is unlikely that they would also make a 53' long well version of the HUSKY-STACK car.

 

 

Andrew

Atlas O did produce the FEC Trailers. I think it was about 5 years ago.

 

Andrew

Florida East Coast had high-roof waffle-side 50' box cars. This scheme can be applied to the MTH PREMIER Waffle Box Car.

 

 

This can give you more FEC variety if MTH can have it made and shipped.

How about a new General Electric body style for the BEEP frame?
