Thanks for the good feedback. Anyone have good pics of a mining camp or older industrial site?

Hi all: My name is Vic and I am working on a post war Lionel O gauge layout. I am currently using my grand kids as an excuse to spend money but it is really for all of us. Fortunatey my wife is into it also and I have a harder time slowing her down on ebay than I do holding myself back. I...

Thanks for the response. I have a post war Lionel 3 track O gauge layout. I am looking for mining plant model and any older type manufacturing/warehousing building model plans/kits.

I am looking for models or plans for O gauge industrial and mining site. Can anyone help?

TC; Thanks for the hint. I doug out an old barbecue rotissery motor and it will work just fine.

I use a mixture of 50/50 Elmers glue and water to hold down grown cover, grass, etc. My problem is with the spray bottles I have tried. None of the nozzles give a nice even spray. I clean them very thourghly after each use to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Now how do I get back copies?

TC: I am using basically the same process except I use large O rings for the drive belts and make pully's with V grooves. My problem is finding motors geared low enough to get the appropiate slow speed. Where did you get the motor geared to 42RPM?

Can anyone direct me to a source for digital music circuits that i can use on my layout? I am looking for circus or carnival music. Thanks Vic D

Does anyone know of a source for animated accessory plans for items such as ferris wheels, playground swings, amusment park rides, etc.?

Thanks guys. I am using the same AC source to power the IC's as I am to power the switches. I am running Lionel post war O gauge which runs on AC. I could add a DC power supply for the IC and switches but that will add more to my already wiring mess. I will try to add the caps. and see what...

Cid: Thanks for the info. I do have two diodes, one for each LED. I will try adding the cap. per your suggest. Should I add one to each LED? Vic

Thanks for the response. I am running on an AC system. It that also part of the problem?

Don/Jim Thanks for the response. I am using Lionel AC power supply. As you stated. I am sure the voltage is varing while the train is running. I have yet to try a seperate power supply. I think I have uploaded the schematic. Thanks Vic

Jim: If I knew how to post the schematic I would . In any case the flow is as follows: From the switch operating coil and panel power, the circuit goes to a 100K resistor to the 4001 IC ( there is also another 100k resistor between the first 100k resisitor and ground) to a 10K resistor to the...

Led Thanks for the response. I am not an electronic wizard. What is a coupling ciruit?

I built a circuit board using a 4001 IC ( flip/flop) to light a red or green LED to indicate which mode the switch is in. It works OK but the LED's flicker when the train is running. I am O gauge with post war Lionel. I operate the switches off of a Post war Lionel ZW trans former. All 4 of the...

Thanks for the response. I am working in Lionel 3 track. I need a good ongoing reference for layout & senery building, weathering ,etc. Is Tuy Trains still the best choice?

I am new to O gauge model railroading. What magazine(s) would you O gauge experts recommend?
