I also thought about making a couple of trucks for Prime Inc. but then I thought about how poor their equipment is and how bad of a company they arebecause the way they treated us. NAAAAAAA! :)

Where are the hopper's under that grain trailer? It just look's like a dry van with the top hacked off and a blue tarp over it. Well, I want to use a hand full of these trucks for our club layout but I will won't be leaving them on there. Just put them down there at a show and keep a close eye...

Oh by the way, LoneStar Models has a really nice 43' Wilson grain trailer but there right at $25 a pop. I'm waiting to find some cheaper.

Looooong post! No. I'm trying to model Dick Simon Trucking out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Here is a picture of one of like only 10-12 of the Freightliner XL classic's they had.http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/craig_wendt/dick_simon_frtlnr_classic.jpg Everything else was FLD 120's...

Well, in a way this turned up a bit of a laugh. It was only a "wild" idea that just popped in from no where. I just wasn't sure if it were possible to do or not. Would be a neat publish for MR if someone could ever make it work full time. :)

Well, I could be wrong.

Just want to make note that the blue one is a Freightliner Columbia and the red is a Kenworth T-600. Man, I wish they would carry those at one of the walmarts here. It would save a load on buying resin kit's from Jacobs Models. I will have to use Jacob's Models Freightliner FLD 120 with the 70"...

That's pretty much the idea except using an alternator in that array to keep the battery charged rather than using a battery charger or wallwart. I'll have to draw up a diagram on it. Only thing I would need a motor that would produce more power than the rate it turns at. Hmmmm, the mad man is...

Well, the idea had come to me because for one, there's been some complaints about how igh the electric bill is even though I'm not at fault for it but I was thinking of a way to power the entire layout (animation, light's, trains, switchs, DCC, etc) without ever plugging into a wall. One day...

After tearing apart a 3 disc CD changer/radio I salvaged it for some motors and springs. I started playing around after letting the idea go for using the motors in animated scenery. I looked at the Model Power power supply in the box across the room and thought, "can I harness my own electricity...

Thank's Cat. I had to go chang my shirt because it was sopping wet in drool from that site. I forgot all about it but it looks like that have done some major updating. One day I'll get around to making my Freightliner FLD 120's from Jacob's models.

I'm thinking an IP address look up and prosecution held againest whom ever wrote that. I swear that crap right there is the main reason the internet shouldn't exsist. Online thevies rank right there with it. Now we know you have to completely register in order to post so it was posted by a human...

Thanks guy's. I was going to mention sense the pictures aren't that great that the chains on the rear are crossed over each other in an "X" patteren while the one's on the front of the tracks are just straight over to the side's. All four have been hooked in from the inside of the tracks just...

Here is the revised plan. Sorry for the poor quality of th over all picture as trying to resize it to the 68.4k standard fuzzed it up a bit.:curse: I moved the yard down on the side as Jetrock suggested. I didn't think it would work but it does for once. I then moved the industry siding's up to...

Here is a switching operations track plan I have been working with in MS Paint sense I couldn't get anything to work in RTS but however it is to scale because the yard was a design from another builder and it fit in an 11 foot space. So what do you guy's think? I need more switching on the...

WOW...... If I only had the room to build full scale mountains like that. I could do it cheap.

Herc, if you add two more to that list you'll have the full 12 days of Christmas covered! LMAO.

I spy a Sergent coupler on unit #638. Are you just installing them as a test run or just on the lead locomotive pilots for looks?

I would be affraid of standing next to a stopped freight that's a mile long with light cars in the middle on a section of super elevated track. The way I look at it, weight + height + lean + gravity=............ Well, if you add in "pull force" for the train movment starting out and gravity on...

:: looks around with evil grin:: I think Liven_Letdie is on to something! Ya know. There's been a couple times where I have sat back and thought about something like this ever happing and here it is. It would be impossible to hide a locomotive because either way the railroad will know where the...
