    Looking for Auto Reverse Module

    Does anyone know how Circuitron AR-1CC Reverse Loop Controller works. I haven't been able to find any technical information about it on-line. Thanks.

    Looking for Auto Reverse Module

    Woodone I think the Digitrax unit uses a short to detect the need to change polarity. I'm looking for a unit that uses something else. The Circuitron AR-1 uses a IR detector. They also make a unit AR-1CC but I haven't been able to find out how that works. Does anyone know? Thanks.

    Looking for Auto Reverse Module

    I wanted to buy Loy's Toys auto reverse module but they are no longer making them. I like the idea of not using a short to detect that the polarity needs to be reversed. Does anyone else make a similar unit? I've scoured the web but have come up empty. Thanks.

    Long Island Railroad Passenger Train*Pic Heavy*

    My family vacationed at Montauk in the mid fifties and we went to watch the train arrive one day. The cars were "air conditioned" by blowing air across ice blocks that were housed under the floor. Must have been real humid. If I remember correctly they had a wye to turn the engine around.

My sister has always done alot of sewing and she uses a spiked wheel the a carbon type paper to transfer the pattern to the fabric. I'm going to experiment with gluing the plan down with Liquid Nails for Projects. As I was...

    Laying down road bed

    I printed my layout on paper, full size. I'm thinking of using wall paper paste to glue the paper to the foam and then use silicon caulk to glue the road bed to the paper. Has anyone done this? I've never worked with foam before. Do you think the wall paper paste will be sufficient to hold the...

    Russ The top of the table is 39" off the floor. The height was determined by recycled wood from prior layout. John

    Need Comments on Layout Plan

    Russ Both ends are open. The corner is the furthest point. The curve should be about a 38 inch reach. John

    Need Comments on Layout Plan

    Thanks for the comments. I was leaning toward the custom line turnouts. I didn't want to fuss too much with RTS in trying to get the cross over to align so I left it as is, realizing when I got down to do the track work I would have to adjust to make it work. Does any of the layout planning...

    Need Comments on Layout Plan

    Hi! Here is a layout I'm working on. The benchwork is mostly done. The theme is a defunct logging operation/tourist railroad. There is an upgrade starting from the curve with the "0.3" next to it. The rest of the numbers on the plan are not correct. I'm still learning how to use RTS. Most of the...
