Fuchs Train 45 and the Trainwreck Express

[Droptop]

Is the Train 45 pretty faithful to the TW Express layout? What is different? Thanks!

Hi there,

Go to the gearpageforum.net and do a search on ther Train 45..there is plenty of info regarding that amp...There is also someone who owns one and played Allyn's Wreck and he said that they were different.....

Basic circuit is the Express with our own tweaks: A PC board for the audio and power supply, all tubes, jacks, switches and controls are chassis mounted.
It has DC preamp tube filaments and a DC fan for low noise and no hum. Separate bias pots for each power tube, Heyboer built/Fischer designed transformers. IT has a sag switch to change from hard (solid state) to soft (tube like) response. It also has a three position bright switch dark-normal-bright. All aluminum chassis and premium parts. I'd hoped to A/B the Train with Alyn's amp the NJ tonefest, but it was a hi db zoo, and even if it happened, the place was so loud a serious judgement couldn't be made with any confidence.

You got that right Andy! I've been wanting to play one of your Train-45's for a while. I was talking to you outside and I could see one in the trunk of your car and realized how the hell could we plug in and hear it correctly!

You know, I will be down at greg's place in a few weeks for a jam night if your interested. There will be only a few guys there and we could A/B some amps including my Liverpool.

Maybe a "mini fest" (invite little guys like Lerner, Vern Troyer, Adam Stark,Pat Martino Jimmy Bruno etc...).

Anyway, keep me posted. If the schedule and weather permit, I'd love to get together.
