Glad I could help! Show us some pictures when you've got it rebuilt (:

You'll need to raise the point of hinge above the tracks so that they separate as the bridge hinges up. Perhaps this link will help (: http://www.all-model-railroading.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=92853&postcount=57

I'm hoping to get a D80 this year to replace my N80. I don't think I put 30 rolls of film through that camera - a real shame because it's really nice. Before I bought the N80 I got a 5MP Sony Cybershot. It's very small and light - good for the backpacking and extensive traveling that I do. The...

Thanks! I'm rather proud of the shadow picture (: I use Photoshop to balance the colors. Image > Adjustments > Auto Levels. Sometimes I play with the colors manually. Sometimes I play with the Brightness / Contrast manually. Mostly I just hit the Auto Levels, though ;) As far as the angle...

This is my favorite personal picture of the Arch, taken October `04. And here is a good picture of the tracks showing how nearby they are and the tunnel system.

Does anyone know why they chose an F9 A unit and F7 B units?

It's really not as difficult as you may think. Basically you're just giving yourself the ability to control the power in certain zones of the track, rather than the whole track at the same time. With a little more effort you can even choose between multiple power packs to power each zone. The...

I'm using an electric toothbrush these days and everytime I paste it up and flick it on I start thinking about all the wonderful uses for that high RPM motor (:

I thought that too ;) But after all, it was me behind the camera. I watched her like a hawk until she left the room.

I added stuff.

More fun with Sketchup. Haven't done anything in the real room. It's nice to see how all the work is going to look when (if?) it gets completed. This just took me a few hours, though I'm pretty proficient with Sketchup already.

After looking at the Strasburg website I'd say there's quite a bit more to do there. But I've been to Steamtown and I have to say, it's a polished operation.

I've been to Steamtown and not Strasburg, so I have no comparison to give you, but Steamtown was really cool. (:

That's a bit nicer than the one the guy in Station Agent inherited. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340377/

I don't think you're going to find everything you need for $50. You'll need a micro camera, radio transmitter and receiver, and something to output to. I think the Train Buddy option is about as good as it's going to get, which is actually $67.48.

I know it's pretty insignificant in the grand scheme but sometimes I wonder if displacing that much mass has any impact on Earth's rotation / revolution. As a comparison, though, the Moon shifts trillions of tons of ocean water four times a day. So maybe all this coal being moved a couple...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm3sSrwxw2k Some guy named Bob has quite a few older videos of the curve. I just uploaded that one from last June / July.

Thanks! I don't know what any of that stuff is. If someone would like to clue us in, I'm sure the group would appreciate it.
