Model Railroading > More 1.6 inch scale Alco FA'sDate: 12/11/11 13:07 More 1.6 inch scale Alco FA's Author: Panamerican99 It was a rainy meet yesterday but 5 of the 6 Alco FA's built by Bill Koster and 5 others were in attendance. I got shots of the U. P. and SAL units as well as my L&N 322. But the other two stayed inside the shed.

-JH Date: 12/11/11 14:12 Re: More 1.6 inch scale Alco FA's Author: RFandPFan Nice photos and nice engines. Is there a reason many 1.6 diesels don't have windows/windshields? It would certainly make them look better, I was just curious if there was some reason why they can't provide them with the kits.

Also, it would be real easy to break them in the operating environment we work with in 1.6" scale. Date: 12/11/11 14:57 Re: More 1.6 inch scale Alco FA's Author: WrongWayMurphy Panamerican99 Wrote:
