    No more Armour Yellow???

    I understand the necessity for consistency in paint schemes, but wouldn't it be cool if they did more one-offs like this, the heritage group, the eagles and big flags, the cammo-schemes, and various others? It would give all of us foamers a little something more to look at.

    Original railroad tycoon now free

    OOOooohhhh, you're a Mac user. I should have known. ;) Sid seems to be good about supporting OS X these days. Hopefully won't be long before Railroads makes its way over to the shiny-white-plastic side.

    To-the-floor scenery???

    But honestly how hard would that be? Of course you'd probably want everyone wearing bowling shoes or going sock-footed to keep from scuffing the water texture (:

    HO Scale Intermodal Crane

    Hmm, magnets. I was wondering how they got it to pick up the boxes so easily (: Very VERY cool piece of kit. I'd love to build a full scale container exchange facility with boats, trains, and trucks. It would give a whole new dimension to model railroading.

    help with x-trak cad

    I've never messed with the helix function much in XTrkCad, but it looks like it's simply represented with a circle. You create the entrance and exit whever you wish by using the "Join Two Tracks" tool. It will reset the "angular seperation" after you've made both the entrance and the exit.

    Toot your own horn

    Another YouTube video. This one is kind of original and unique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnwyg_AbRxg&NR With all the threads about train disasters I think this brings a nice change of pace.

    DCC or DC to power trains

    I found this thread in a search a couple days ago and voted, which apparently reset its "most recent post" date but still no one has actually posted to it. It keeps showing up in the list I assume because people keep voting. So I thought I'd throw in a post (: I'm currently using DC while I...

    To reverse or not?

    But if it's women trouble, asking "What changed?" really doesn't do you much good - just cover your head and run for the garage. ;)

    super elevated track on curves

    Is super elevated track realistic for logging lines? Specifically ... narrow gauge? Cutting to the chase, should I do this on a 12'x12' On30 layout?

    S curve in the woods

    That would be cool - but what about from the middle of the train up in an observation dome?

    Landscape progress pics, a gorge in HO....

    In the picture before you added the bridge support I was thinking "there's no way he's talking ME into driving across that ... " Good work!

    Youtube.com

    I've posted a few links to youtube on theguage in the past. No one really ever seems interested for some reason. My favorites tend to be garden railways. There are quite a few where the camera is riding on a flatbed car in the middle of the train and you can see the whole train snaking around...
