    Looking for drawing of SP depot

    Yes I have Winzip, I really appreciate you help. Will, unfortunately I don't have that, or any, issues of the Gazette. I used to subscribe to Model Railroader and the 2 N scale magazines. But since I switched to HO less than a year ago, I let the N scale subscriptions expire, and just...

    Looking for drawing of SP depot

    Catt, That would be really great if it's not too much trouble for you. Philip, I am aware of that kit, but $125 (list price) just seems to high when you compare to Bar Mills Majestic Hardware for $90 which comes with a lot of extra's. But it's something like that I hope I will end up with...

    Atlas Code 55 turnouts -- Stalling problems...

    There might be 2 reasons why you locomotive stall when crossing the turnout. First, yes, that little metal thing sticking out is a connector for the frog. If you look closely, you can see there are gaps in all 4 rails going to the frog (the sharp point where the rails meet), so the frog is...

    Modem Hijacking

    Good advise. I don't have the problem with modem hijacking since I'm using DSL, but I did have a problem with virus killing my computer sometime last year, and after spending some time restoring everything I finally decided to 'protect' myself. So right now I feel protected, I have both...

    Live Steam Engines

    That would be so awesome to have an engine like that, but one can only dream... How much would you guess an engine like that #769 cost?, probably more than an average family car.
