I've checked it out a few times, I really like the K-line C&O F-3 set.

I am updateing it now with a new retaining wall i am building. My grandfather gave me that ABA set when i was 10 or 12 i think. I love it, it looks good but it isn't the best runner.

The retaining wall looks great....I will be needing a retaining wall on my layout so I think I might Steal ...... I mean Borrow your idea Looking at your F-3s they look like K-lines first issue of the Fs. What is the problem with the running, I might know whats wrong. Alex

At low power they click and when you finally get them going they jerk. They run great once they get going fast.
You are more then welcome to use my plans for the retaining wall. If you want step by step plans and more pics email me. It is in my profile. Us kids in this hobby have to help each other out.

I think the problem is because they don't have cruise control installed in them. Sure I will email you for some more pics and info.

On my mikado I tried to upgrade it to cruise and really messed it up. I had to send it to someone to fix up the mess. Alex
