Casey, who makes the decals for the tender and cab? They look similar to T1 decals. I would love to get some, as I am planning to possibly make a K1 or G2sa.

After seeing what you did with the IHC engine, I am currently working on a Bachman version. I'll have to send some pics

Little update, I wanted the K-1 to be in the next video I do but it still had the squeak. After a sleepless night trying to figure out what the freaking problem was I lucked out and got it. Basically the cheap plastic frame and the tons of play in the drivers caused the axles to rub the frame under load making the squeak, so the light oil I had for lubrication which is normally fine was not enough. I switched to a heavy grease and tried to make it squeak as I got it to before and it didn't, so I think it's FINALLY fixed but I have to go to work and will do running trials when I get home. This problem was bugging me really bad for 6 month!

This is the youtube videos featuring the K-1 as well as the P-7. The P-7 is all original bowser running gear including the open frame motor so it's not a silent runner but is still pretty good for being I would guess a pretty old motor.
