This is not Frisco related but I just got a Tyco General in mint condition from e-bay. I had one as a kid and now I have one again! Merry Christmas to me and to all of my Frisco forum friends.
Thanks for the Merry Christmas wishes. Get yourself a Cary 4-4-0 boiler and then you can make it into a 200 series 4-4-0. I will be building one myself here shortly. I have to send it out first to NWSL to have the boiler checked to see if I can squeeze a gear box and a motor into it. Please post up some pics when you can and also of your pike. Layouts are always nice to see!
These are out of production so I'll probably keep it in original form and maybe do a diorama 1876 Frisco style maybe. Did you check out my old thread on my Bachmann 4-4-0 project?
