If they make consumer cameras to survive regular use then they can't sell you a new one every year or two. That's one of the biggest reasons why I haven't "gone digital" yet.

And Denver is different from the dozens of other cities with remote operations and those signs how?

I too thought Mainline Modeler was ended quite a few months ago when Hundman couldn't find a buyer for it. Both CTC Board and N Scale were picked up by other publishers, however.

So what's the history and significance of this locomotive? Or, why is it in a museum to begin with?

Seems to be Proviso looking west with the Tri-State Tollway overpass in the distance and the hump on the right.

But now that you post more I see a BRC switcher behind the L&N power set. Hrm.

Since it was taken prior to the CSX merger it would be safe to assume this is in one of the L&N yards in Chicago. Because there is no other power present in the photo I'd wager that it's probably the former Monon facility in northwest Indiana. It was called South Hammond and was located at the...

I can't imagine a Bachmann engine being better than an Athearn, especially considering the reviews those got when they were new. Plus the disconnected log cars in the new set might cause more problems for beginners. There's nothing inherently wrong with the Athearn set when taken for what it is...

Don't know anything about formats, but if you're shooting train videos there is always this site: http://www.rail-videos.net/

If I had a local hobby shop I'd gladly patronize it but, sadly, the offerings in Toledo are pathetic and with four dollar gas driving across the state isn't an option. I'll buy what I can locally but anything that has to be ordered I'd just assume do online and get a discount and next day...

You didn't say or do anything wrong the first time. Both terms could be used. Very good. This is a lesson for everybody! Buy a book and do your research! I wouldn't call the paint error a mistake so much as a misrepresentation. Model manufacturers are in business to sell products and...

What is means is that his joke was lost in translation. There are a number of books by a variety of publishers that cover rolling stock, especially in the era you are interested in. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the right information.

The .jpg is much appreciated. I suppose now that I study it I see a larger and more detailed version probably isn't available. I'll just squint at this one some more.

If you want feedback we'll need a larger version of the plan, preferably in .jpg format, too.

The units went to the Delaware & Hudson after the Santa Fe, not the Lackawanna. The DL&W never rostered any Alco cab units. The 190 still has a long way to go before being complete and only then will Doyle finally start on the Smithsonian's unit. It has come a long way since I last saw it...

Cool stuff. I'm glad to see someone else that goes there figured out how to walk across the tracks!

Middle of December, actually. Twenty pages of text doesn't usually appear by itself, however.

Heh. I'm working on synthesizing Atlas Shrugged with Frank Norris' The Octopus for my B.A. senior research. Probably ought to get cracking on the writing soon...

You'll start out at a local hiring session, usually in a hotel's conference room. You'll get a couple lectures, fill out an application, and take some psych tests. Usually you'll know the same day if you get a job offer and the final decision will be based on a subsequent physical exam and drug...

I didn't say it shouldn't or couldn't wouldn't happen, I just said from the railroads' perspective the payoff was too little for the investment. Railroads can't be bothered yet to simply extend capacity to handle the traffic they already have. If its going to happen it'll have to be a government...
