HoboPiker OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 227 Thank you received: 53	A few years ago, an individual posted various Anthracite locos he built from commercially available models. One was a RDG I-10sa from the Bachmann I-10, which was highly detailed and repowered. Does anyone know if he is still in business, and if so, have his contact informations. Thank you, Evan

Rob OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 393 Thank you received: 57	Was that on the "old" site I wonder? As a side, I never let an old Bachmann I-10 slip away when I see it... you just never know. If I hit the lottery -the diesels are goners! Rob

HoboPiker OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 227 Thank you received: 53	No, it isn't Casey Peters, and the rebuilt model used a reduction gear box and can motor, not the Bowser repowering kit. His models were accurately detailed to the Nth degree. The Reading I-10 went for $699. If I recall correctly, he lived in Delaware.
