OK I know it's early but this weekend our club went on a tour of a local abandoned line and I ran across this find. I thought I'd throw it out and see if anyone remembers or ever saw one. This is one of the sites we saw when we were finishing for the day. Note the size of the chain drive belt...

Ok here's the issue. I am sure this has been covered before. I even read the past post to the link on wiring. Just looking for some personal input. I am new to DCC and am learning the hard way. We started out building a dual mainline which should have basically resembled a double folded dog...

It's hard to believe they actually crashed two steam engines into each other as a stunt for entertainment at the 1913 Worlds Fair. :eek: ..(the cars ripping around on the track must have been a pre-Joie Chitwood Thrill Show... :D ) It's a 6 min video but cool to see but a sad ending for steam...

This has probably already been covered but, What are you guys using to uncouple KaDees? Do you use in roadbed magnets or do any use the handheld in-between uncoupler? I know the magnet is best for hard to reach areas and is more proto, and handhelds work well in areas you never expected to have...

I am building the PRR station in Huntingdon, Pa. from DPM parts. We are building the 1950s era and I have alot of back and white photos. I was wondering what colors the building would have been that year.(like 1955) It looks like tan ?? (color). What is the trim color? Green? Brown? Any help...
