I bought a Band O f series engine last nite from tranz on their dash auction site. But from some of the things i am reading i am wondering if this is an engine that belonged to a lash up of three engines . If so will this engine run alone? I heard somebody say they ran off one forward and reverse unit and i have a bad feeling this is not the unit that would control the lash up. If this so and these folks didn't point this out i would have lost a lot of respect for them. If i was selling something like this I would want to make sure that my customers would understand what they are getting or not getting. Most of us would not even think of something like this in an engine. A lot of us are weekend warriors at this , me for one. A lot of this stuff I am learning from you guys is all new to me as I am sure there are a lot people like me out there. I have monkeyed with these all my life but man this hobby is getting very complicated . Anyways sorry I got so long winded but you are the only ones who will listen to me. The wife is sitting here but I am sure she dosen't want to hear about as she is watching her soaps she recorded while we worked today. thanks  fellas, charlie criss

That's the girl. I bought it  on dash.  I bought a box car last week from for 12.00 . That is the only experience I have had with them.  A few years ago I bought from trainz and was very happy with what i got. They fixed an engine for us last year and did a good job. Those B and O f engines sure always looked pretty to me. I know you are never suppose to buy a horse for their paint job but I did here. Thanks for your info. I really enjoy your forum. This really something the way you can sit here in your home and talk to so many neat people. Just amazing.  Charlie criss
