- In today video I am testing 4 locomotive on my old school Atlas layout. These were donated to the club and will be auctioned off at some point in the future. Enjoy!
Super. Cox locomotives are not as common as the other brands, but the drive truck is comparable to a Mantua/Tyco MU-2 drive, and they are pretty good runners. All of my Life-Like, Bachmann, AHM, and Rivarossi four wheel drive diesels died decades ago and got turned into dummy locomotives, but one Cox F-3 and seven Mantua/Tyco MU-2 drive locomotives, (EMD GP-20, Brill Trolley, EMD F-7, 2 × Plymouth CR-4 switchers, Plymouth MDT, and a Baldwin RF-16 Sharknose) are about to celebrate their fiftieth birthday on my railroad, along with about 15% of my locomotives and about 25% of my rolling stock. The Cox and Mantua/Tyco locomotives operate great, inside and outside, MU well with my more modern locomotives, and have a nice patina on the paint job, after all the years of use, that makes them look very realistic. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
The Cox army loco is an F3.
Thanks! I tend to forget about the F3. Lol
Very nice the prr floodlight car you have is a tyco and the Napa boxcar is a model power since I have one of those as well in my collection.
Thanks! I thought it might be Tyco, but forgot to look. lol
Although needs a service. Cox are a little grumby. Easy buggys to service, tho. Have 2or3🚂🇨🇦📸🙋

2 questions. Where can I find this track plan? And can you tell if it’s flex track or set track?
The trackplan is Atlas' Waterlevel Western. Its made from standard HO track, but could be made from flex track if you wanted to. I don't know where you can find it, but searching it on Google turns up some results.
Yep, Atlas Waterlevel Western. This track plan can be found in Atlas book or online. shop.atlasrr.com/p-44239-ho-31-waterlevel-western.aspx
