Have any of you had any experience? Which above table electric switch machines work with Walthers HO code 83 turnouts? Any help is appreciated.

These are great little Loco's from many years back and their Walschaerts Valve Gear makes them a joy to watch running as they shift cars around from one location to another. ;) It's unfortunate that that AHM/Rivarossi had to use drivers with such deep flanges to them, because when running on...

Curious to see what you guys have done with your Atlas turntables to weather or enhance them? Also, I ordered the 305 model which has code 83 rail I'm fairly certain and may try to replace it with code 70 or even 55 if that isn't too much work? Have any of you modified your in a similar...

In the Ad Choices above I noticed this: Union Pacific Bailey Yard See more than 15000 rail cars a day at the worlds largest railyard www.VisitNorthPlatte.com Now I haven't really ever followed what Prototypical operation actually does and only somewhat became aware when my Engineer friend gave...

I thought I'd start a thread about the fallacies you noted in watching your favorite train movies for the second, third and more times as things appear to you that you probably didn't notice at first. I'll start with, 'Emperor of the North', as it's the only one I've seen recently! Let me...

I just received this from a RR buddy, it may be fairly current! This a prime example of some individuals not using common sense but rather letting RR rules dictate what should be done and the stupidity of their actions! >> Unbelievable, the epitome of 'that's not my job'!!! Life is...

Does anyone know if someone makes any models of early small Oil Storage Tanks or a facility for the turn of the Century, 1900's era ? I'd like them to be verticle if possible and did see one in an old picture showing a Texco gas station and figured if a kit of one kind or another was...

The C & S West Short Line is under new and more agressive management and they realize too much time has gone by with only a little expansion to show for the time passed but all is not waisted as a lot of thought took place. I've not only electrictfied most of the blocks but started to lay the...

Yesterday evening I purchased a Pancake Air Compressor - 3 gallon oilless from Harbor Freight. It's regularly $59.99 but till the 20th [I believe] with a coupon it's only $39.99! The printable coupon, 'Wouldn't Print', but they were good enough to work with me on it. A buddy did have the...
