    Model Railroading in Panama

    The Bovee & Defiance (BAD) Western is being relocated to Panama (the country, not the city in Florida). Anybody know how if you can get model railroad supplies there or know which, if any, internet retailers will ship there? My option is to take as much as possible with me. I'm modeling in HO.

    Looking for Double Dog Bone Layout Help

    Double Bridge/Double Tunnel Ideas??

    Jim's idea of using thin plywood and plate girders is about as easy a bridge as you can get. You can make the bridge as wide as you want. Here's my version. I actuallly used cardboard for the base. Doc

    LED resistor value

    I don't mean to be argumentative, but why not? The LED calculator lets you enter the power supply voltage. What's not to trust? After that, physics is physics and math is math regardless of what holiday is coming up. Doc
