They don't scream in public..They scream at the railroad. All loads are priceless to the end user that needs it for production. Have a rail car ot truck not to show and listen to the production scheduler scream.

When that coal is needed by the end user to provide a service.Derail a loaded coal train and listen to the end user scream because that coal was needed..Talk about "priceless"!

I seen a engineer stall a 1400 ton train..:eek: Of course the rail was wet and leaf covered and a 1.6% grade on a curve with a 10mph slow order.Inattention help to.Had he paid more attention instead of talking baseball to the conductor he would have notice the speed was falling.:eek:

I guess I am modern if modern means the late 70s/early 80s.I am a big fan of modern short lines as well..My N Scale Layout will be set in the early 90s to avoid ditch light hassles.

That's good the club can still meet as a round robin group..:thumb: Here's a suggestion..Maybe the members can get together once a month for a meeting over dinner and perhaps a slide show or show and tell. I know of a still born N Scale club that started that way but,all to sadly they was...

Snakes and other reptiles are among the most misunderstood and misappreciated of creatures. --------------------------- I had a up close and personal show down with a Timber Rattler in Eastern Kentucky back in '82 while walking a abandon short line right of way.I clearly understood his/her...

In my best Indiana Jones voice..I hate snakes..sign1 But,unlike Indy I find them interesting but,never in the wild. Well it is a personal thing about being around folks.I dislike small meaningless chatter I hear from none rail folk and would rather spend time with modelers.

I was once a lone wolf but,found I like "pack" life far better.:thumb: I would be lost without club membership,visiting clubs and fellowship with other modelers and railfans..For me that's what makes this hobby so enjoyable and how I keep up with the hobby..

That's sad..Many clubs are finding homes at their local fairgrounds since most fair boards are stripped for cash and willing to rent a permanent building.Of course many fair boards require the layout to be on display during the week of the fair. As a side note..Many clubs are dissolved when...

Whoa up guys! Sorry! But... We can not install that light switch or turn off that light until there is a environmental impact study done!

Sounds good. Matt,Next time you're in the area drop me a e-mail or pm..We get together and have a cup of java.

Josh,I am not sure..They're to short for Walthers 65 foot gon.Their add says it fits most gons-yeah right with some cutting. The dangest thing is only 2 rows of coils need to be removed.. The coil is cast resin but,hard to cut with a Dremel because it smooths the cutting disk.May be easier...

Josh,I forgot to mention if you use the 52 foot mill gon like I did you will need to cut the load to fit.Needless to say its a hard cut even with a Dremel.

Sweet! Excellent plan! Good job!:thumb:

The loads are Chooch Coiled Wire Load.. http://www.choochenterprises.com/html/7221_coiled_wire.html The down side of these loads.. They are EXTREMELY HEAVY and for that reason I do not recommend using them.

Locomotive? We don't need a stinking locomotive! Taken in Marion Ohio.

A coil wire load. A load of coal. A load of steel coils.The coils was removed and placed in their correct position and the coupler was fixed as well... I also have 4 53 foot mill gons with coil steel loads.

I used one for 6 months with my N Scale "fooling around track"-6 pieces of flex track and two manual switches..Worked ok for me.I will admit it was touchy between stop and reverse. I also perfer MRC packs but,when you just happen to have a N Scale power pack laying around. Oddly that...

Actually for small layouts using one locomotive of any brand those Bachmann power packs isn't that bad. Some times we forget our basic knowledge of such things.

Why not order several horns directly from Atlas for $.50 each?
