Cannonball, if you get into the Fargo/Morehead area of west Mn east Nd you see a bit of the old green and SF Warbonnets too. I gotta remember to take my camera more often. Rick

Zach, there are so many options I don't know where to start. You will hear a lot of "I have this one" comments. I currently have the Bachmann EZ-Command that will be replaced this spring with a better control. I'm looking at both the MRC and the Digitrax system because after asking the same...

Very true, but we should do something. Solar power currently is a joke. #1 they don't make enough cells in a year to really do anything with plus the amount of land you would cover is unreal. #2 the tree huggers have already sued to try to put a stop to wind power because birds might fly into...

Thanks for the link Eric Rick

When I brought up the nuclear power it wasn't about speed. A small reactor could power a steam turbine which in turn can turn an alternator to power the electric drive. If run correctly and built to high standards they would be safe, clean and efficient. They have powered experimental cars like...

Welcome back, glad you are feeling better. Liked your site, I made have to do some shopping there when I get that far. Rick

Rob the problem is that coal puts off sulpher...the only way to really stop that problem and go back to steam would be like they have done with Navy ships and go nuke with steam turbine to turn the the alternators. But the anti nuke ppl would have a fit. If you are really concerned about...

thanks for the input! the link is great and will help a lot! Rick

I just got 2 steam engines, HO, an AHM Rivarossi drive 0-8-0 (used) and an IHC 4-6-2 (older NIB). I'm thinking that they should both have sound decoders installed. Anyone done this conversion and anything that I should know before I try it? I have not yet picked a decoder yet so suggestions...
