Winter's project, oh boy. Well we are moving into a brand new house, the winter's project is to get everything back where it belongs. Man do we have a box or two to unpack.

Tom, What are you waiting for, her to ask you? jawdrop jawdrop :D

Quoting from Larry Goss' site url: http://users.silcon.com/~lgoss/morebar.htm to be precise. The BAR purchased eight EMD BL2 (branchline) locomotives in 1949 numbers 550-557. In 1952 they were renumbered to 50-57. In 1979 two of the units 57 and 54, then in the solid blue scheme, were...

Here you can locate several pictures of the real deal: http://www.thebluecomet.com/bar.html IIRC BAR had 8 of them.

Dwight, I also get N Scale and will go along with what Catt is suggesting. Another magazine to look into is Model Railroading, however it isn't just one scale.

If the you have turned the lights on and they don't work it usually indicates that there is a speed step mismatch between what the command unit is sending and what the decoder is looking for or the lights are no longer functioning, however they work elsewhere so you are left with a speed step...

Well one thing that can sure make a mess of cookies is your computer's date and clock. User changes to cookie handling preferences under both IE and any of the Moz browsers. Then we have all of the blunders that the server side scripts can have ;-) what's that you say? Mistookies in the...

If it is a true fiddle yard it is hidden and doesn't need to be seniced. However it would be a waste of experimental area not to try grass/weed color blending, ballasting, different rail sizes, hand laying of track, etc, etc, etc.. One of the things I have my current switching puzzle is...

For three strings we have: Sanxian- A long necked lute with three strings without frets. In Chinese, "san" and "xian" stands for " "three" and "strings", respectively. The sound-body is made of round wooden box covered with snake skin, just like erhu. A piece of plectrum is used to play the...

A fiddle yard normally has four tracks, they are called the A, D, E, and G tracks. That is to confuse most normal folks who would have numbered them as 1, 2 , 3, and 4 or lableled them A, B, C, and D. If there were 5 tracks it would be known as a banjo yard. If it was a very big yard it would...

Hey Bob, what do you mean nothing works on that end? Oh, yeah that's right if they change the clocks by an hour you are confused for at least six months sign1 . Thought you said editing ain't 'xatly working ;)

Here is a terraserver view of Guilford's Rigby Yard in South Portland, Maine. That sure looks like a round house and turntable to me. The photo is 1997 http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?T=1&S=10&Z=19&X=1977&Y=24154&W=1&qs=%7cportland%7cmaine%7c Oh and we don't have a class one...

Maine Eastern Railroad does at the end of their Rockland run there sits a small shop with a turntable. Morristown & Erie started freight service in Maine in 2003 as Maine Eastern Railroad, this was followed by passenger service in 2004 between two coastal towns with stops at two other coastal...

My old computer screen burned eyes can see most of the stuff on the pages now. :thumb:
