Great pictures TomPM. I'm fascinated by the billboard reefers and boxcars because I was born in Europe where that kind of of railroad advertisement was unknown. I'm a homebrewer so I particularly appreciated the Old Heidelberg shot. Is there any beer reefers available for N scale here in...

Go Habs go, Eh :canada1: Thanks for posting some additional pictures. I enjoy a nice clean hockey game, I'm old and was lucky enough to see Guy Lafleur scoring some nice goals. Born in Europe ( Belgium ) and married to a .. Brasilian women my # 1 sport is soccer ( the 2nd one is rally racing...

Now I understand the vagary of the English language , in French, red is red , brown is brown and a Stanley Cup ( go Habs go ) is a Stanley Cup. ;-). I was sure that good old Wayne would jump into that thread :thumb: The link to the Testors catalog helped a lot. Comparing with Wayne's...

Nice ( and fast built ) layout mcbane666. Nice Canadien National SD-40 too. and the price is interesting Where did you purchase it ?. I just checked the website at Pacific Western Rail Systems in B.C. and they sell the SD40 for $99.98 + shipping. My 1st layout is very small ( 25' X 36' ) so...

Loren, I'm glad you like Ubuntu and that it detected all your hardware. Linux came a long way. I started with Redhat 7.3 6 years ago. I remember spending at least 4 hours to install it. If you decide to install Ubuntu on a hard disk , I would like to make 2 suggestions: 1) Get the new version...

Thanks to both of you who took some of your precious time to reply. RobertInOntario, I hesitated before asking the question on that specific subforum. A paint question is not scale specific, so I didn't see any reason to post on a specific scale subforum ( in my case the N/Z one ). I think that...

jeffrey-wimberl, nice work. Those flood lights have an impact when the room lights are on too. What kind of light bulbs are you using ? cn nutbar, where was that picture taken ? in Ontario ? Jacques

Nice pics Charlie. There is just 1 small siding and 2 little industrial spurs on the CN track down the road , so I think I'll never have the opportunity to see live huge CN hook action Jacques

Not MOW related, but it was fun. I tried some weathering tip for streaked lettering. I drybrushed my CPR boxcar using the same color as the base boxcar color . In my case the CPR action red. You'll be the judges. Jacques

Could anyone please tell me what would be the equivalent Polly Scale paint for the 40' CN boxcars ? Here is a pic of the N scale one. Tia, Jacques

I took those pictures 2 months ago. I was doing my daily railfanning trip down the road, it was freezing cold and I realized I didn't have any kleenex in my pocket. No problem, that nice CN MOW employee gave me one. They even clean the pedestrian path that crosses the track. Jacques

Thanks for the additional information 60103 and Triplex. I didn't know CPR still has all those models running. I'm not a rivet counter but I wouldn't like to have something odd or completely unbelievable on my layout , such as a a Shay engine pulling a ... French TGV . Jacques

Several Linux distributions can be installed on an USB key. Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick | USB Pen Drive Linux I installed Knoppix on a bootable USB key . It worked on my mother's computer, but not on mine ( problem with the BIOS ) Jacques

You could post a link so we can rant with you . :) Jacques

Thanks for taking some of your precious time to reply chooch.42 and Wayne. Athearn just released some 50' PS-1 N scale double door boxcars with Mc Henry N scale couplers ( It's new to me ) and their 50' Delaware and Hudson will fit nicely on my CN CP GT TH&B D&H layout. Jacques

Don, there is some "Low resources " Linux distributions ( Distro ) such as Damn Small Linux . DSL information Jacques

Of course, the guide ( nice Brasilian lady who as a son involved in homebrewing ) won't tell about the facts right at the Curitiba railroad station. I had the same emotion when I visited the WW1 trenches in Belgium, visited the great wall in the Peoples Republic of China, and Rogers Pass in...

Great pictures ( as usual ) from all of The Gauge members. I spent 1 hour running my new CN RS-3 engine purchased yesterday. Jacques

My contribution. That bridge had all the components made in ( my homecountry ) Belgium around 1880, then shipped to Brasil ( Paranagua port ) and taken to the assembly location by mule. 9000 men participated in the railroad construction, about 4000 died from snake bites, accidents and tropical...

I have some Sw9/1200, RS-3, GP7 and GP9 engines ( my layout is very small so I can't afford to run 6 axles engines ). I have 40' boxcars , reefers and one 8000 gallons tankcar. Would it be historically correct to add some 50' boxcars ? Jacques
