while I'm a steam guy, I've always liked the look of the NYC F units. Having a Lionel 2343 AA back in the day with those dual motor ozone spewing models of yesteryear. Well I missed out on 3rdrails offerings, missed out on AtlasO, Lionel, the Issue with the MTH painted lightning stripes and so one. Either due to lack of funds or some steam engine I wanted more. Well while browsing EBAY I found a few MTH NYC F3 with proto 1 produced in the late 90's. looking at the pics online they seemed pretty detailed, not bad a start anyway. So I was able to negotiate a price that was less than listed and they arrived today. So I need some advice on how to proceed.
1. DCS or TMCC? I'm leaning PS3 kits in both A units (If I can find kits). Would be a little cheaper over ERR cruise with RS5 and I can pick what sounds I can install.
2. Fix pilots are a must. I'm guessing P&D hobbies? Any other options?
3. With Kadees which ones to use, specifically between the units for close but not tight fit.
4. Cab interior detailing and someday weathering.
nice project or what?
