    More than the Rock Island Line!

    Mike, I have seen a bit of ROCK equipment in MKT rosters. Mostly cabooses though. I am NOT sure whether they acquired them from the fallen ROCK, or that they got them before the ROCK went belly up. I have seen a few ROCK equipment here and there with the UP coming through here. Course...

    Shay Driver - Where is he?

    I too am still around. If you notice my time here, I have been here BEFORE the RRL went down, and before the new RRF went up. There were quite a few reasons as to why Tom Fassett and myself brought up the RRF, but NONE of them have to do with The Gauge. This is an excellent forum, and I...

    Modern Equipment

    Bonky, The top three locomotive manufacturers are: EMD GE and Morris Knudsen (sp?) Not sure about the freight cars though. A lot of switchers that the RRs have are updated and re-engineered older units like GP7s, GP9s, GP20s, GP30s, etc. There are quite a few guys/gals on here...

    MWDLRR without staging

    Thanks Brian, A lot of it will have to do with what size of doublewide home I can get for the layout. I will post the trackplan with the "yard" staging once I get it up on the website. Thanks again. Later.

    88's Second Gauge RR Car

    Mike, 1stplacehobbies.com has them cheaper. The packs that go for $5+ regularly, go for $3+ on 1stplace. This is where I get my microscale decals at. However, if they are sold out at the time, I go to Walthers. 88Fan, any chance you can post a closer version of your car? I can't...

    Morning, Friday at last! Now I can get some serious modeling done. Made an order with NS trains yesterday for 2 Bachmann Plus diesel maint buildings. These will be the main buildings for the new diesel servicing facility. The rest will be made up of Walthers and Rix/Pikestuff buildings...

    MWDLRR without staging

    Phil and guys, We are going double-wide hunting this afternoon. I have the day off again. LOL! If we are able to get one setup, then the reality of getting the main line laid in March-June will come to life. As soon as the mainline is completed, I plan to start on both the humpyard...

    MWDLRR without staging

    Thanks Gary! I plan to purchase the main line in February. The cost is nearly $1000.00 for the track. I wonder how much it is going to cost for the humpyard. Eeek! At least my staging wasn't all that much. Course, with the new location for staging, it might be. I plan to upload an...

    Having Computer Problems? Here's why!

    Bonky, Speaking from a technician's point of view, I totally agree with you! And not to bash all Women on vehicles, but mine when I first met her was letting the oil go for a year, never getting a tune-up, never checking tires, never doing anything. Now she wonders why she has had all...

    MWDLRR without staging

    Here is a link to my trackplan. The thing is so huge it could NEVER fit into the forum's file restrictions. This is set-up for continuous run and operations. Among the main features are the intermodal area, the coal mine area, the large diesel servicing area and the yards. The hump yard is...

    Renumbering

    Don and Gary, On your methods when the numbering is completely off, do you have to retouch the paint before putting the new numbers on? I have had the WORST luck matching paint. I do realize a lot of roads when they renumber their own units the paint doesn't match, but I want to avoid...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Does he ACTUALLY think someone is going to pay that KIND of money for all of that???! He would be better off breaking it all down and getting the most he can out of individual or small sets. Gee, where's my Gold card! LOL!!! :D :D :D :D

    If you blinked you missed it!

    Guys, Had to work today, OR I would have downloaded the forum as much as I could have with the T3 line at work. Sorry. Was swamped under a whole load of admin policies and new accounts to create. I would have dled it...believe me! What that error looks like is that Joe has taken the...
