atamjeet - Hello from one of the "Gauge" guys ! Most impressive work from beginning to end. :thumb: Now, would it be legit to put an electric motor in ??? Bob C.

Hello, again TL. Doing some more looking - FINE:HO seems to be referenced as "code 88" for wheels, which may be usable on standard HO trackwork (with some allowances,as mentioned by pgandw) - check this - http://www.branchline-trains.com/blueprint/parts/wheelsets.htm Maybe some more proto...

Squidbait, is that photo on your "this" link missing it's boiler and dome lagging ? Showing a lot of rivets/bolts on the upper boiler. Bob C.

Josh - sounds like fun - but don't think my visually and dexterity-challenged bod could hold to the tolerances of Proto:87. :cry: Did you pick up any info sources on Fine:HO (NMRA S4.1)? Looks nearly as good, just (hopefully) not as finicky on the track standards (That's the difficult part !!!)...

:eek: Kept watching ALL the news,looking for NOTHING involving a "HERC" !!! Welcome Back, and THANKS to you and all our folks in harm's way for their duty. Glad you had a round trip ticket ! :thumb: Bob

Congrats, Squiddy, and many more! Gee - that's almost INSTANT NOTIFICATION of #1000 !All the Best. Bob C

Think I saw a post in support about this - it's a problem with the site and is being chased. I'm getting the RSS feed, and had 3 e-mail notifications from Zealot today, so haven't asked, myself. Bob C.

:thumb: Hoping the best for you, Matt ! (Amazing what guys will go through to better their modeling skill !) Will the Doc give you a script for the LHS to get therapy supplies ? All the BEST Bob C.

ZtS, Welcome. After the 2 hours of sleep the enthusiasm of you and some others in the SODOR map thread cost me last night chasing websites, am still trying to get my brain running. I had FUN - Thanks !! Bob C.

Interesting indeed, MM. Did your source identify the model shown?...and what led your curiosity off in such direction? I had no idea such locos existed. :confused:Bob C.

OOOOOWWWWWWCHHH !!!! that hurts just to look at !!! I hope you'll be showing MORE later !! :twisted: Bob C.

Dave, yeah, have some material that looks about like that. It's gift wrap ribbon, so not as large, but workable - don't know what the material is or how it reacts to Floquil or water-base paints. Have you tried coloring it ? Bob C.

Scott; I believe those are replacement cab HVAC units - vital piece of equipment on a wide cab, for sure. Bob C.

Thanks for taking those shots, old stations (well maintained, too!) aren't easy to find. Though remodeled, the PRR is still exemplary of that company's standards, and most useful ! Hate to think of reproducing all that moulding in "N" or even "HO", though !...need a new lens for my magnifier ...

Be Safe, Herc, and God Bless you ! I'm sure the best wishes of all of us go with you,and we'll be praying for your safe return. Thanks for what you are doing for all of us. Bob C. :thumb:

Les, Thank you ! What a neat way (well done, too) to show us your layout ! I'm curious - did watching it give you a different perspective on your creation ? Thanks again ! Bob C.

Hi,All: Here's a link to the NS-053 "Windmill" train running west to Harrisburg, Altoona, Pittsburgh and west. Dnk destination, but it's an impressive move. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBoXK3oTTw0 Bob C.

OK, it's a month later and this shows up - maybe some clarification on how they got the figure. http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/can_a_freight_train_really_move_a.html ...it's a lot simpler than I was thinking :p. Bob C.

Mike, if my memory is correct (B&P carried on with CSX rules until adopting NORAC's book), this sign would have been preceeded at an appropriate distance by a sign with the speed of the restriction, with this sign at the beginning of the restricted area. Conrail would have had a yellow diamond...

Hi, Mikey...If I'm supposed to take a GUESS, they used to use signs something like that on the B&PRR (ex-CSX) to mark a speed restriction - called 'em "Firecrackers". Am I RIGHT - What did I WIN ??? BOb C.
