Montreal & Southern Counties 107 was one of the earliest acquisitions of the HCRR, in 1956. I've ridden the car many times. OERHA - Interurban & Suburban Somebody wasn't paying attention!!!! :eek::D

That would be emery board. You can usually find it in a dollar store. It is also very useful for soldering prep.

Drafting tape has less residue than masking tape.

Here's a link to translated JR timetables for Shinjuku Station: Translated version of http://www.ekikara.jp/newdata/line/1301041.htm The busiest train station in the world may well be in China or India. Not much information comes out of Japan or China in English, but we may hear more with the...

Most of the time trailers were pulled by Witt motors, but until the late 1940s some trailers were pulled by ex-TRC motors. http://gencat.eloquent-systems.com/webcat/systems/toronto.arch/resource/ser71%5Cs0071_it2462.jpg

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. :thumb:

David, you probably should discuss this with your accountant also. GST paid out by businesses can be claimed back.

I have ordered from the US and Japan and have never been charged duty. But I have been charged GST, PST and the $5.00 handling charge applied by Revenue Canada to all shipments they snag. Read the grey and white form on your box carefully. It tells you what and how much you paid, the exchange...

JR Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, Japan. JR Shinjuku Station JR-EAST: Guide Maps for Major Stations (Shinjuku Station) SHINJUKU STATION It's also reported to be the second largest after Nayoga Station in land area. The JR Yamanote line circles central Tokyo on headways of 2.5-4 minutes all day...

Aspen Models offers some European light rail vehicles: Aspenmodel (c)2005-2006 A little pricey by my standards, but they are available.

Experience has shown that the 103mm radius curves are very tight. My Bachmann PCC has no trouble going around these curves. Modemo articulated light rail cars like Tokyu 300 series just barely make it around the 103 mm curves. Enoden articulated interurban cars can't take the 103mm curve, it's...

There is now a Yahoo discussion group on Tomix N scale products: Tomix : Tomix Also the founder of the discussion group has created a web site for sharing Tomix info in English: Tomix / EasyTrolley Modelers' Site

I'm most familiar with N scale. The new cars come in a hard plastic case instead of the cardboard box with Styrofoam packing. Axles are black. There is some slow speed capability. Some people have run them all day at shows. There is some growling noise especially when run with MRC power...

It's one of a series of Japanese buildings offered by Kato. There are a few suppliers here, but I ordered mine from Japan. Here's a web site with more info on the building: Metro Series 6 Floor Department Store (Ivory) - Kato 23-433B - NewhallStation.com - High Quality Japanese Model Trains...

Another photo: A Bachmann PCC and the 6 story Kato 23-433B department store.

The Japanese do not model overhead. Model railroad manufacturers like Kato, Tomix and Green Max offer plastic catenary poles. Obviously, these are not suitable for overhead operation. Japan is about the only industrial country that does not try to put overhead wires underground. Here's a...

Another photo but with a Modemo Tokyu 300 series LRV at the Green Max 46-1 safety island.

In mid-April I started ordering items to build a new layout in N scale with Japanese 1:150th N scale products from Tomix, Kato, Modemo and Green Max. My interest grew out reading about the of the work of some East Penn Traction club members who created a table top 2-rail trolley layout that they...

A further update. I am building a table top layout with Tomix track and the street sections. The street section pieces are scribed on the underside so I can cut the 60 degree pieces in half while building 90 degree curves. I have now done some testing of the track and have one section...
