    is there a track planing program for fastrack?

    fast track is atlas' version of the roadbed track? if so you can use Right Track software developed by atlas. they should have fast track, if not you can use the regular snap track, its same dimensions just with no roadbed

    OK, this person is INSANE!!!!!!!

    yea definately under a bridge, a person can not fit between the rail and a guardrail like that. also you can tell there was noone there because you would have seen hs legs or something when he turned it....and that camera was turned pretty calmly and smoothly, way too calm for a person lying...

    What kind of Engines?

    well there does faintly seem to be another grille in front of the front porthole. so i guess according to triplex its an F9A. seeing how you got it when you were young its unlikely a spectrum so mostlikely it is the F9 just sold without the set. also i heard bachman messed up the designation...

    What kind of Engines?

    the first seems to be a bachman spectrum F7A (the only F unit i found on their site so i guess thats it) http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/catalog/?function=detail&id=1328 the second looks like a Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/catalog/?function=detail&id=805

    Scratch built garden snow blower unit

    well i guess he just made it for the sake of clearing snow off his track (beats walking around with a shovel) and not really for it to be all that accurate.

    Train World

    well i have not ordered from them online or over the phone cuz i never needed to (i live like a 30min skateboard ride away from their shop in Brooklyn NYC) which is their second shop, but not as big as the Long Island one, or so they tell me. their low prices are true as far as i can tell, i get...

    Vintage loco ID?

    oh sorry for the mistake, i didnt think there were diesels in use until like the late 40's. well we learn something new everyday.

    Vintage loco ID?

    how could it be from 40's and 30's if its obviously a (crude) model of some F unit which i dont think were in production in the 40's, especially the 30's.

    Train direction question (again)

    yea i guess i never really thought of it that way =P but a steamer would still look weird running backwards on a mainline, thats what i was trying to say mostly

    OT: Middle Age Attacks!

    well ok to kill this assault weapons/rifles discussion lets just leave it at guns. handguns are still more dangerous than beer. and a 2 ton chunk of steel that can speed down the road at 70mph is no better either

    OT: Middle Age Attacks!

    thing is illegalizing nicotine will not make it any more hard to ontain, only thing it will do is turn it into an illegal substance thus resulting in crime and violence being produced by its sale. same as what happened with other drugs like cocaine. back in the 1800's and early 1900's it was...

    Train direction question (again)

    yea i always wonder that too, how does running it CW or CCW make a difference, its still running forward, you would have to reverse the train, and that would look a bit weird on some trains like steamers and F units (do steam trains even have the ability to reverse? something makes me think they...

    OT: Middle Age Attacks!

    OT: Middle Age Attacks!

    and i thought the whole 2 or 3 packs a day sayings were exagerations. i smoke but most i can go is half a pack, not because i limit myself or anything. im just phisically not able to do anymore i will get really sick from it (stomach aches and very, very, very short temper) but i quit now. i...

    OT: Middle Age Attacks!

    another piece of advice. try switching over to diet MT. Dew for now to perhaps give a bit of a smoother transition off of it. and if you want to loose weight, maybe you can put away all those power tools and try building your layout the oldschool way....handsaws and hammers. after pushing and...

    around the room N scale shelf layout.

    ok no matter how much i tried and no matter how much i simplified and compacted i cant get a yard to fit. perhaps i should put it on a lower level?

    around the room N scale shelf layout.

    well i ordered the track planning for realistic operations book like you suggested brian, and it should be here in a while. but ive been doing some reading and researching online about planning yards, and thinking about my own. i came to the conclusion that yard operations, and really operations...
