I've been reading and posting on the gauge for a little over 9 months. I have enjoyed the site a lot and have learned even more. Recently the site look and feel changed. I just wanted to provide some feedback on the change. The colors of the background with the text seems harder to read...

That is indeed a wonderful work of art. I hope that someday I can find the time and patience to build items of that quality!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

If you are looking for something to model with the freighter that was indeed used for ore and coal in the great lakes here are a few sites with more pictures. http://duluthsuperior.railfan.net/railroad_yards_of_the_twin_ports.htm...

Oh, one other thing, all the curves are 11" or larger radius.

Sams, Thank you for the input. I appreciate the feedback, especially the downhill. I hadn't thought about that. I think I will make a change to the direction of the turnout and plan for the town there. As for the turnout in coming out of the mountain, you're right. I guess that I will...

Will, There was a bug in the software and I couldn't get that siding to be below the mainline no matter what I did, so I left it. It should be shown below the crossing mainline at the same level as the mainline it spurs from.

Hi all. I posted a layout a while back, but still hadn't built it. I'm finally getting close and my space has gotten a little smaller...but that's another story. I'm nw working in a space that is 32" x 84" It will be build on a door with a little extra. I'm trying to build a layout that I...

Very Nice, That looks like a quality kit and I also agree it would look great on any layout.:thumb: :)

Thank you all, for the information. I think I'll try it and see how it goes. :wave:

Can anyone tell me what is the quality of the Bachmann steam locomotives? I am looking for a Great Northern 4-8-4 with Vandy tender, but don't have a lot of cash to spend right now. Here is the specific item I am asking about. Is this unit decent, or is it not worth the money. Thank you in...

seanm, I too saw a highway off ramp built with foam blocks. I was also amazed that it would work without caving in. I think they did that, because it was right next to a pond, no washout with the foam. I drive that off ramp regularly and haven't fallen into a big hole yet. :eek:

That's a great picture Spitfire.:thumb: Where did you get the house in the background. Looks just like the houses in the neighborhood where I grew up.:wave:

You can use this link. I think it is a little better than what you may have found. http://www.doctronics.co.uk/resistor.htm Scroll to the section labeleb "Current Limiting" it is about half way down the page. The calculation that you are looking for is how many ohms should the resistor be...

I'll take one of those subscription cards. Where do I order??? :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I have heard that some people add weight to their cars to make them more balanced and ride better. Can anyone tell me what is a good weight for standard freight cars?:wave:

LiveSteamer, I also use Right Track with Windows XP and have had no problems. Have you checked to see if it installed properly. You can verify this going to the control panel and then add/remove programs. If it's listed then remove it and try reinstalling it, if it isn't listed, then it...

Thanks for the reply. So this is normal, one other question, does it start burning when there is enough accumulation or does someone actually force this to happen?:confused:
