I took this video with my cellphone :D I had to do some truck and coupler changes to get some rolling stock working until the new stock comes in (hopefully this week) announce1 Click Here for the video

:thumb: I am going to use your mirror idea!

Yeah? LOL That was my point ;)

In a forest 15 miles from my house there are some reminents of an old track but you cannot find any information on where it went other than it was part of a USAF nuclear testing facility that was sealed up arround 1970.

I had some spare time this weekend and built a shack and a winch tower. I think it looks "okay" but the shack is missing a chimney. It's supposed to be 16x16 scale feet, it just looks too big to me. :rolleyes:

Is this loco good? I am trying to stick to pre-1950's and want a decent Diesel or two. I am also trying to stick to PRR and am not quite sure I am ready to repaint one myself sign1

Ever hear of power over ethernet? 48VDC and 15 watts... I dont expect any problems using cat5. I have used cat5 as speaker cable too. 24 gauge is ok for 0.577 amps If you use two 24 gauge wires it's the same as an 18 gauge wire, 2.3 amps Switch machines use such short bursts of power I...

That's nice! I am with you on the trees, mine is going to be sparse on buildings and thick on trees.

You could have one track inside that... MAYBE two, 11 inch radius and 9 inch radius, but not tighter than that and those will be right on top of each other the whole time around. You could do alot more in a little more space. Take a look at my 30x48 layout, i had to expand to 49.5x31.5. I...

I think that the best thing that you can do is play with the Atlas software, then there is no question about what to order or if the turns will work inside the area that you decided to play in.

There is an error in it but you get the idea...

I have an idea in my head and as soon as i re-learn rts7 i'll post it.

Got my wiring done with no issues :D My machines that are 20+ years old don't run so well but the old F deisel runs okay. The Athearn 2-8-0 runs AWSOME. I could not beleive how smooth and quiet it runs! Do all "modern" models run this smooth now? Model power has a 4-4-0 American that I...

This is one reason I look forward to the kids moving out LOL. There is no way I could build that at my house, maybe it is time to move? but there I wouldn't have as much money for hobbies :)

That's okay, no real desire for either ;)

Got some more work done today since it was raining out. Most of the track is down :D This shows the clearance inside the mountain. I broke out a 23 year old Bachman 0-8-0 engine just to take a couple of pictures. I dont have any wiring done yet so nobody drives.

ok... here's the "bridge" that will support the train and the tunnel entrances.

Thanks for the compliments folks! The overpass is only high enough to allow for my tallest car under it allowing for the track and roadbed, it's eyballed to about 1/8th of an inch from the top of the tallest rail car. I created a "bridge" from some metal flashing so that it can be thin and...

Yes it is, Cat5e sign1

Great! Post a link to the item so I can be lazy sign1
