Wayne, it's made by Alder Models who are no longer in business, although the product was picked up by Surrey Custom Models of BC. http://www.surreycustommodels.com/switch.html There are CN, CP and Racor models available, all either working or non-working. The "working" version doesn't actually...

Neat Wayne! And here's a CN style switch stand, in the lower right of the photo. Val

You would normally use one or t'other - ground throws OR switch machines. If you're thinking of using under the layout switch machines, then you might want to install scale switch stands on top of the layout. Here's a link...

Thanks guys!! :wave: Val

Thanks Mikey! :D :D :D Val

Gentlemen, and ladies, Brakie has asked there be no further political wrangling about global warming. We ask you to respect this polite request so that we can keep this thread open, for the discussion of coal trains. On behalf of the Gauge, thank you for your co-operation and as Marc just said...

I wish my mom were home to answer that question. She used to ride on the L&PS as a kid. Great shot Chris!! :thumb: Val

Wayne, that is one of my favourite sections on your layout! Great roof lines and angles and the size of the buildings looks just right for their height. I know we often need to selectively compress, but I really like seeing buildings with more realistic proportions. Val

Interesting suggestions Bob, thanks. I could always extend the yard lead around the curve a bit, which wouldn't require any changes to the plan. I assume you already read my post about the real Parkdale Yard, and how they had to assemble trains on the main. To me this would add a time factor to...

Thanks Will. I had a whole week off from teaching so that's how I was alble to find time! :D Thanks a lot Andrew. That would certainly be an honour!! Val

Wow- that's neat!! I have got to take one of those railfan trips one day soon. Val

Beautiful work Bob - I love the access hatch! :thumb: Val

Progress Report Ok Squidbait you slave-driver you! ;) No pics yet, but yesterday I was able to get about a third of the foam sub-roadbed down. I started with the easy part - the yard area - because it's totally flat. I'm using 1 in. extruded insulation foam this time around. On the first...

I second that comment. That cabinet looks like it wil fit nicely in any room of the house. Great work! :thumb: By the way, did anyone notice he said he's SCALING BACK to just N, HO and scratchbuilding loco's????? Wow! For me that would be scaling UP the hobby.... :D :D Val

It's back up - I'm there. Val
