Re: Head light wire

Teflon wire is also used in the aircraft field. If you have a local avionics shop, I would check with them.

Re: Titan Trains

From what I have heard/seen on the website, there was a report of internet and phone trouble. Probably would not hurt to follow up, My experience with them is they typically are pretty responsive.

Re: 7.5 inch SW 1500 with Honda?

All good points and I have taken them into consideration. But I'm not after a big engine, been there, done that and got the "T" shirt. My reason is weight and since I'm only pulling one riding car one just needs a small light weight and low maintenance engine.

7.5 inch SW 1500 with Honda?

Does anyone know of a fabricator that sells an SW 1500 (or similar size) engine with a Honda 5.5 hp engine? Possibly looking for an SW1, SW 1500 etc with a Honda or similar smaller engine. This would be for 7.5 inch.

Thanks.

Stake pockets?

Anyone know where one can obtain a replacement stake pocket for 1,5 inch flat car? Recently obtained a used car and it needs several replacements. These pockets appears to be about 1/2 inch wide and 3/4 inch deep.

Thanks

Lettering for flat car

I'm in the process of re-painting and re-lettering a flat car. Who makes lettering and numbering for some fallen flags like Southern Pacific?
