PC: Re: Tiger Valley Alcos

["Walt Gay" <waltrail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Garrett,

        Tiger Valley makes a nice kit, but its a long term project to build
one. I am half way through building an RS-27 for PC. The drive uses a
Mashima motor and a neat chain drive to the rear truck. Then a drive shaft
to the front truck. They are supposed to pull better than anything else on
the market. When I finish it I'll send you a picture.
