heyy everybody i was at my lhs today and i found what i was looking for. a concor conrail switcher for my yard. the price tag was 80 but i asked him too go too 40 he said no problem. well i was just wondering if anyone has any problems with con cor or good remarks or anything before i buy this engine its an n scale. if anyone has any comments please help me out!!!
The two Con-Cor HO-scale MP-15 diesel switchers I have are very poorly made, and convinced me to never purchase another Con-Cor engine. I have no experience with Con-Cor N-scale products, but assume that they would be no different in quality.
I have a number of the MP15s from Con-cor and they run very well.
Since I installed DCC in them and they run even better. Although they do not have the detail like the latest engines I needed MP15’s and they will do until the Atlas MP15DCs show up!

The only recent Concor I have any experience of is their Budd passenger cars - I like the general standard of finish but the couplers are terrible, they self-uncouple all over the place. I ended up fitting Rapidos to mine just to keep them hooked together.
My only Concor loco is one of their old F3s with the Fleischmann chassis - it runs like a watch but the bodywork is rather oddly proportioned. Having said that, if I saw another one or a matching B unit I’d buy it, as they’re inexpensive and great runners.
so you decided to by the loco? sence i was with you i say go for it[:D] see you in school Tim (loco man)
