I recently perchased Bettendorf trucks from Kadee. Kadee #500. I installed them on two athearns 40foot XM boxcars. I was pushing a string of cars through a curved switch when sparks crackled and my dcc shut down. I discovered that my new Kadee trucks rode up and shorted the switch. By...

I know that the RS1 was designed to run long hood forward but looking at pictures of RS1s still in use seem to show trains with RS1 power runing short hood forward. I have two RS1s that I want to run coupled together in a permanent lash-up...so my question is does it matter if I do it long hood...

I have a Walthers, HO scale, EMD SW-1 which I would love to convert to sound ...but there is just no room. Question.....Will an N scale board work or will the motor burn it out. Thanks

Does anyone have any ideas on how to simulate a load of foundry coke? Larry

Saw this on the side of a bathtub Gon. What do you guys make of it ? :confused:

We have an industry of sorts in our little town of Portland Connecticut and it's a business that uses 6 to 8 railcars every few days. Empties are brought in and loaded cars are picked up. The railroad is the P&W. The great part of this business is that it's easy to model and generates a lot of...

Does anyone know if bathtub gondolas are ever used to carry scrap metal. Larry

We never see cool stuff like this were I live. This is a snap shot I took from one of the Wellborn Corridor's streaming webcams. A unit train of all pipes ! Love it!

Does anyone know anything about this incident ?

Some truckers know where to eat. :D

A friend sent me this picture. He asked me if it was real or model. Looking at it, I must say, if it's a model it's damn good !!!!! What weathering ! Well I'm still not sure. It looks real to me but what do you all think? Larry

No.. not the famous SOO Line Dolly sisters but my own version. Like the Dolly Sisters, I'm lashing two Alco RS27 in an almost permanent lashup. I've changed history here. The Pennsylvania 2411 and the 2412 were conveyed to the Penn Central then to the Calumet Pipe & Foundry....not the CR...
