Any nice grimy GP. :mrgreen:

RE: CF-7s Here's what I got when I Googled it: Google Image Result for http://members.aol.com/JFuhrtrain01/CF7frames/ATSF2480.jpg

A "One track mind".

Like the song says "You say tomAto, I say tomAWto." I've always pronounced it GHeep, but then I say KAyto instead of KAWto. :confused: Of course I pronounced the software people McAAfee until I saw an ad of theirs on TV that corrected me to pronounce it MAKafee. :eek: Perhaps the only way to...

The Ghost and the Darkness is a great movie. Just keep reminding yourself while watching it that this is a true story. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Two more movies: Riding on the front of the engine through Africa :thumb: in The Ghost and the Darkness. Four kids running for their lives to get off of the trestle with a train coming :eek: in Stand By Me.

Gus, I'm afraid that if I did it 24/7 it would seem like a job. But with a fast clock it seemed like the most logical thing. If you're gonna switch cars they should come from somewhere and go somewhere. I suppose that it's my version of the timesaver, gotta get those cars set out before the 9:05...

I am attempting to have the best of both worlds. This is my proposed layout and the reasoning behind it. All of it is fictional. It is located in northeastern Oregon (where I happen to live :mrgreen: ) thus the name EPN&S (Eastern Pacific Northwest & Southern, era 1990's. Originally it was...

I hear you scubadude. If I had more room....I guess that's the woe of every modeler. How many times have you heard, "Darn it, I just have too much room to work in!" :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

FAIR WARNING! THIS IS A DISGUSTING JOKE! It was the height of the depression and food was scarce, especially for knights of the road. Two hobos were walking down the tracks when they came across a dead cat. One turns to the other and says "It's not much, but we can split it and each get a...

Very cool construction equipment COMBAT. I especially like the backhoe and the hole driller. :thumb: :thumb: I just wish I could find stuff like that in N. :curse: :curse:

Two years travel for a two week stay. :| But as they say, getting there is half the fun. :cry: :mrgreen: :grin: tooth1 :p

I hate to shoot you down roch, but you've taken on quite a project here. First, gravity is a product of mass, so to give the moon a gravitational field somewhat like the Earth's you would have to increase it's mass about six times what it is. In other words make it the same size as the Earth. Of...

A quote from the article: "Wetzel and his team reused the jet engines for another research project, a high-powered snow blower for opening winter track. In tests at the Central’s Buffalo yards, the jet blower efficiently cleared the rails; it also blasted most of the ties and ballast from under...

Perhaps this admittedly crude drawing will help.

If running it seemed to help maybe you could set up a test track in the shape of a 9.75 in. radius circle and let it run around that for awhile.

Darn fine job of modeling there Mike. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I don't remember the name of the movie, but there was a very memorable scene in it where a fraternity had kidnapped a collage student and his friends were trying to find him. They nabbed one of the frat brothers and were trying to get him to tell where the frat was holding him. They had a bag...

Also the holiday train in Trading Places. Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis are a hoot.

Just thought of a couple more; The Money Train with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, and Von Ryan's Express. Frank Sinatra on WWII steam.
