What a beaut- or should that be Brute?

Hi everyone Sorry I've been gone for so long- account was capped. Happy Belated Easter, and Happy Anneverssary Chief!! Keep well.

I've seen in many movies that the loco types or facing position change too! EDIT: Also notice in emergencies how hard it is to apply the brakes?? Train drivers are super heros!

Wow!, coming along nicely!

Can you send a link to that pod cast please. Yip, I'm also very sad to hear it go. I saw an article in the '90s in MR about it- it was so inspiring and I found it amazing how he always updated his layout!

Those locos used in The Ghost and the Darkness belong to the museum where I volunteer. The loco with the bench in the front is a "Kitson" tank loco affectionately known as Kitty and she is the oldest loco in Africa- well over 120 years old. Used to be owned by ESKOM- South African Electricity...

I'm not defending Internet Trains at all. You know of course that Model Power is constantly out of stock of Flex Track because of a licence agreement breach with Bachman. Before the hobby shop where I used to work closed we had a problem for months of receiving flex track from MP.

How Does The Driver See!?!?!?!?!?!?

Wooooooowwwwww!!!! :-o

I have a December 1980 issue of Model Railroader and they were starting a series on CTC-16 which was a type of "command control".

HAHA- Another type of the Tortios and the Hare story!

I don't have the time I used to, otherwise I would have voted I'm addicted (of which I still am, signs of it come when I start shaking and shivering to come online) but, ja, unfortunately a few times a week only. :-(

Hello Everyone! :wave: That same day I posted about the two accidents another accident happened at night!! This guy was drunk and he slambed brakes when the robot turned red, lost control of his car and smacked into my dad's car!!! jawdropjawdropjawdrop My mom was in the car again and my...

WHat a unique idea! You know that the prince of India gets his meals delivered on a model train right?

Coooool!

Oy. :-( Yesterday afternoon while coming home from work this guy swerved in front of me and I swerved to avoid him. I hit my car into the barrier while traveling over a bridge and now it's scratched :-( :-( Then today, my mother was driving home and this other lady decided not to stop at...

I wish I had a basement too!! Houses in South Africa arn't built with them, or attics for that matter! I have decided though that in the future when I'm able to get a house built for me that I will include a basement in the design.

Like your idea with the dowls!!!!

I love those athearn Big Boys!!!! The sound is GREAT on them!
