I concur - I have dealt with Kaslo and have a couple of SD60's and they are a good product.

About a week ago, the crews were working after dark every night laying new track on the double main at the end of my backyard. This is a relatively high(er) speed mainline on the CN Toronto to Windsor Corridor. They redid both the North and South track and I thought I'd post a fine example of...

These N scale Canadian National lease units just arrived at the Paris Junction from the paint shop, and will be ready to be put into service once the 'new car smell' disappears. They are still awaiting clearance by the Health and Safety Committee and yardmaster.

'Derail' is sometimes just a square sign with a 'D'. I'll take "P' for Passing siding (?) Alex !!

It's really hard for me to decide which are my favourites in my collection but here are a couple from my stable in N Scale CN SD60F Kaslo - custom paint - My second fav type of CN locomotive because of the 'Draper Taper'. CN (in Heritage Paint Scheme) AC4400 - a real fantasy locomotive...

You have to calibrate the car first to the grade desired ( I'd use a piece of track on a 5' true straight length of 1x3). Mark the centre of the bubble with a pencil at the appropriate grade you want. For example - the height at the end of a 1x3 5 foot peice of wood would be 1" for a 2% grade...

This is something I started working on when this thread first started. I have yet to place the car on a grade and mark the centres for the various % increments. It is - as was mentioned - a line level. The intent is to secure the level down with silicone caulking. The colour of the level itself...

Shouldn't pity them....they're morons. Instead, say a prayer for their families and the train crew instead. Read how the accident happened and consider how many times groups like Operation Lifesaver / The Police / and millions of $ in advertising predicted over the course of their lives that...

Shameless bump for the benefit of Biased Turkey

Definately do not cut the bolter pin haed off ! Unless you have some spares. If HO is anything like N - you should be able to pull the trucks right off OR take something to gently pry the trucks off. Place whatever you are going to use between the car body and the trucks AS CLOSE TO THE BOLSTER...

That's how math worked when I was younger :thumb:

Take a yadstick as mentioned. Drill a hole (nail size) at 0" or equivilant ( use 1" if neccessary). Drill pencil sized holes on the inch increments starting at your minimum recomm ended gauge standard. For example my minimum radius will be no smaller than 17" on my N Gauge layout.

Any one tried or knows the closest match for GO Transit('s) Green for a paint project I'm considering?
