    Club Layouts

    Thanks for your post Ron. Very Nice website and layout. We're the West Island Modular Railroad Club (WIMRC), not to be confused with your WMRC! Our website West Island Modular Railroad Club tells about our club, its objectives, by-laws, procedures and other such stuff plus photos and videos...

    M-32 Doodlebug

    Looking good! It appears as if you stripped the original paint scheme before priming. What did you use as stripper?

    The Canadian Railway Museum (Exporail) at St. Constant (no longer Delson), across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal is Canada's premier railway museum and is likely to receive national museum status shortly.

    Anti-duck-under Lift -up Module

    Our club (www.wimrc.ca) is planning the introduction of a portable hinged lift-up module to reduce the need for duck-unders, which are becoming more onerous as some of our members grow in size (unfortunately), and all of us age - pitiful cries of aching backs and knees are heard every session...

    module construction

    What materials are used for "underlayment" and for sealing (against humidity?)? It would be interesting to see a photo of the construction.

    tender wheel pickups for Proto Heritage 0-8-0

    Jon, thanks for the excellent photos. I intend to apply your solution to my Proto 0-8-0, as it frequently hesitates when going over switches. I also intend to install a decoder. Several questions: Do you have a photo of the internal wiring, showing how you wired into the eight pin connector...

    DCC Wiring Confused

    Thanks for the very useful DCC information Railwaybob. Over the last several days I've tried to access your website www.railwaybob.com by clicking on your link or by entering the address on my browser, without success. I hope the problem is temporary?

    DCC Wiring Confused

    This is an interesting thread, particularly to DCC wannabees like me. Three questions: 1) Under what wiring conditions does inductance become a problem, leading to the need for twisted pairs?? 2) Is track cleanliness more or less of a problem with DCC? I've read opinions both ways. 3) Are...

    A.H. Peppercorn 0-4-0T Manufacturer?

    Can anyone advise the manufacturer, the age of the HO 0-4-0T shown in the attachments, or any other information? The construction is mainly brass castings, raised lettering and riveting, with baked on enamel paint, and may have been kit bashed. The motor is vertically mounted in the cab and...

    Brit rail

    The brown lines are the famous London Underground (Tube) system. If you Google "London Undergound" (or Tube) you'll find what today's lines look like. Most of them appear on Graham's map link. During the 1930's the LNER and the LMS were fierce competitors, running very-high-speed steam-powered...

    Ore car recommendations

    I've now built and brush painted four Tichy wood sided ore cars for the Kingdom Copper Mines and they look great. They do take time, I've got down the learning curve to about eight hours each working on one at a time, including wet decal lettering and numbering (I'm a slow learner). After having...

    What were the engine types in the 40's, 50's and Early 60's?

    Canadian Pacific ran both heavy and light 4-6-2 Pacifics into the late 1950's. I believe Canadian National did the same. Try Googling both Canadian Pacific and Canadian National steam locomtives for references and photos. Here's one such site, which shows a CP heavy Pacific...

    Model Shop shunning ???

    Well I'm an old geezer too, but if those hobby shop owners are smart enough to use a computer, why don't they smarten up on their customer service and either delete their Email addresses or start answering messages received? A rhetorical question which I don't expect you to answer Russ, but it...

    Model Shop shunning ???

    I had a no response from Bachmann in Philadelphia to an Email message so I decided to send a snailmail letter, to which they did respond promptly enough with requested parts pricing information. I then realized they had a 1-800 number (toll free in North America) and used that without problems...

    Thanks Rich: I get the picture, except for the pointed axle end that goes into the journal bearing. How do you keep it free of paint?
