Engines Wishlist for Jointed Rail.

[9000DOLLAR]

Hi. How are things back in 1988? Say hello to my younger self for me. Seriously though, don't these forums require a valid email to even register?

What I meant to say is, I don't have my own e-mail. (no time to set one up, also, I might not have much time to post here because I'v got a really busy life. Also, please don't ask why I don't have my own e-mail because it's off topic and because I won't say)

I like their engines. Unfortunatly, I can't see myself buying payware at prices that I would pay for a DCC sound equipped model train.

Please tell me where you can buy DCC sound equipped models at JR prices...

 

[9000DOLLAR]

are you for real, or just demanding attention? any DCC equipped model train will cost more than 20 jointed rail locomotives. be realistic, members of King Doofuss kingdom do not need competition. LOL. :hehe:

Bachmann trains are going for $110 and higher, and BLI engines are going for around $150 at the lowest. (NW2 and SW7)
Also, I thought I saw something going for $200 at JR.(I may be mistaken becaues I didn't look very close, and I have poor eyesight, also, I don't blame them for charging high prices because they worked REALLY HARD on those engines and they deserve to charge whatever price they want for them.)

 

[nicky9499]

good job paying any attention to what he spews Justin, because apparently you guys sell locomotives at $200 a pop

 

[9000DOLLAR]

Please tell me where you can buy DCC sound equipped models at JR prices...

Well, I thought I saw something going for $200 over there. I may be wrong because I have poor eyesight though.
Also, if you want cheaper trains, check Ebay or Model Train Stuff.
(and I don't really blame the JR team for selling expensive trains, they worked really hard on those engines and the content belongs to them, so they should be able to charge whatever they want. [as long as they have buyers that is])
Also, if I'm wrong about this, please forgive and forget that I even said that.
(I may be inactive for a while, because my laptop charging cord blew and I can't find a replacement that works.)

Another thing is that I don't go out of my way to insult people, so If something coming from me sounds like an insult, it probably isn't.

 

[9000DOLLAR]

DISREGARD ANYTHING I HAVE SAID THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN INSULT OR A DEMAND FOR A DOWNLOAD STATION TRAIN.
I AM NOW REMOVING MYSELF FROM THIS DISCUSSION SO THAT IT CAN GET BACK ON TRACK.

 

[pdkoester]

You can increase the size of FONTs on your computer, if you have poor eye-site. It would look like this:

ITEM OF THE WEEK
$5
That does not look too hard to read, right?

LOL

 

[haddock57]

Well at least now this can get back on track. And to do so, i would humbly ask JR to consider making a new FM H10-44 and, if possible, a DM&IR SD18 in the maroon scheme with the gold arrow.

 

[Thomascbc]

Is this guy for real? Anywho... I like the idea of more B units

 

[luvintrainz]

Maybe a NS Admiral Cab SD40-2, CSX SD40-3, NS GP59 Low-hood, updated NS ES40DC (Because there are no rear ditch lights like the prototype), NS SD70M-2, NS GP59E, NS Ex- UP SD50 (Or SD60), and lastly, a NS SD70 w/ 3 Skin Gecko Script. Phew... glad to get all my gimmie-pig outta my system! :hehe:

 

[norfolksouthern37]

updated NS ES40DC (Because there are no rear ditch lights like the prototype)

I don't know how this went so long without being noticed... I checked the files and it appears to have 2 sets of front ditchlights instead of front and rear. Not sure what I did to mess that up.

a NS SD70 w/ 3 Skin Gecko Script.

This one I can say for certain is coming. Just got back with cab info for it (as well as the M version).

 

[luvintrainz]

Wow, no one has noticed it? Haha. Well, thanks for noting it Justin, maybe it could be a update to anyone who bought it.

 

[haddock57]

Awesome I check JR's webpage like 3 times a week to see if anythings new. And I'll be on the lookout for those Southern units, that B30-7A is insanely nice. A good example of how certain paint schemes fit certain locomotives.

 

[generalman]

Just to give Adam something to piddle with...
GP30

S2

 

[gg14835]

High Hood Gp30's too!

 

[luvintrainz]

I agree with the GP30 idea!

 

[Chadd04]

High Hood Gp30's too!

There are these but if your like me I'm waiting for JR (nothing personal)

Ok, this is the last thing I say on this thread.

Not too long ago, I was on an Amtrak train. It was stopped for some reason. (someone said they had to stop for switch engines)

It was dark out, but when I looked out the window, I saw, idleing on a track not too far away, A NORFOLK SOUTHERN ENGINE! I tried to get a picture, but it was too dark. If it had been light out, and the picture had been good, and I knew how to post pictures here without posting them to some sort of photo-website, I wold have posted it here. If I see another one, (and get a good picture of it, and figure out how to post pictures to the forums) I'll try to post it here. (I know that some of you Jointed Rail guys like Norfolk Southern stuff)

 

[nicky9499]

Awesome. Did you also see clouds and trees and telephone poles on your trip? I hear alot of people like those too.
