Thanks both! It's a code 55 wye then. Thanks! Wayne

You should look at some of the documentation at handlaidtrack.com. It's pretty extensive and helped educate me a bit on the subject. Wayne

I have several Peco wye's, bought used, #6 I believe. I need a much tighter radius for the wye on my sawmill section. I have Peco #4's leading from the main onto the legs of the wye but at the actual "Y" I need the tighter radius and shorter overall length as the track begins to immediately...

Having trouble finding decals for N Scale New York Central boxcars, ca 1919. Been able to find later eras. Any suggestions? Wayne

Here's a link to a thread with some nice work on a bridge. http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=10779&page=1 Wayne

Hi Silver, You're right, it is listed in the Emporium/Grasse River roster. Also briefly in the hands of Hayfield Wakeman before heading south. Do you think the tracks might have been tilted towards the pond side of the berm? The reason I ask is that I've seen a photo (Rails in the North...

Thanks for posting the picture Marc. That Shay was Emporium's main workhorse, their largest loco (92 tons.) It started life in 1902 at Lackawanna Lumber in Pennsylvania & bought in 1910 by Emporium and brought up here to the Adirondacks. In all they got 40 years of use out of it. It was later...

Here's a link to the Terraserver site. What looks like an aerial photo of a rail yard on the right side of the river is the rail yard. Click on it to zoom in and use the pan function to move around. It's not too clear but you'll get an idea of the layout. Wayne

Very nice! Thought it was HO. If only you could reduce the mechanism to N Scale... Wayne

Great resource: Ontario & Western Railway Historical Society http://www.nyow.org/ There are a number of good books on the O&W, most out of print. Do a search at www.abebooks.com Wayne

I'm interested in locating photos or other info of the rail operations at the Lyon Mountain, NY iron mines, WWI era. I've located track plans and a number of photos of the mine buildings as well as the nearby blast furnaces, but none clearly show locomotives, hoppers etc used in the operations...

I'm very interested in N Scale logging locos. I'm building a Class A Climax now, based on Tyson's excellent project posted here some time ago. Your concept looks promising. Hope to see photos & operating reports. Wayne

Thanks for posting! I'd never seen a Shay or Heisler in action before. Wayne

Heres a link to a round Shaker barn in Massachussets. Quite an engineering marvel. Wayne

I'm holding off on my logging branch also until I get some reliable info on the Atlas Shay's abilities. Wonder why no traction tires? These are the climbing locos if ever there were any and I'd think Atlas would want to capitalize on it. I'd like to have it push a short string of empty log...
