Guys, I may have been running a 20 car passenger train, but I neglected to mention how close the nose was to the markers! You never had to wait very long to see a train go by on that layout!! George.

The Detroit River Tunnel is now CN, but it was built by Michigan Southern? It became New York Central/Penn Central/CR.... Am I thinking of the right place? What's the heritage of the tunnel? George.

VGN, Your friend shouldn't have needed four cars unless he was pulling lead. The most I've ever needed on a 20 car passenger train is two powered units with a couple of dummies riding along for "that look". I saw a guy run six RS-3's at a club years ago. Looked nice, but you could tell they...

I also heard from the outset that CN had no intention of getting involved with the foreign assets. It will be interesting to see how fast they're liquidated and to whom ownership will go. Hope they learned their lesson about foreign ownership!! George.

Jon, WHEEEERRRRE DA BEAVER? DEY KILL IT? George

You should get a fee for what you've done. Keep the shots rolling in guys, they're fantastic! Any wrecks?? George.

TRES COOL, GUYS!! So, how did you get the jobs we always wanted with the railways we always worshiped above others, and how good is your french? George.

Guys, Is the NS running over the old New York Central trackage, or the C&O's? Perhaps they could paint those ugly things into CN colours while they're stopped at the border? George.

Robin that's a great shot! How long did it take for the entire train to come into view? George.

Guys, Unfortunately, I feel as good about hearing CN expanding as if I heard the New York Central was coming out of a cave into the daylight. What I don't understand is how WC could be doing so well, diversifed with foreign holdings, etc. And after all that, sell off with the state's...

Woodie, It's sad but true. In the clubs, it's common to see the teenagers unbox a set of cars and put them on the track all out of order. Reason? They never saw a real long distance train that wasn't Amtrak, nor understand the sleepers go behind the diner and the coaches ahead with the...

Dave, Is it possible to have a conversation without shouting in the cab during operation? George.

Dave, I thought that DW&P ceased as an operating entity a few years ago and was supposed to disappear into CN, as IC will very soon. What's the story about that operation? George.

Dave, I could look at 400 CN shots per day! Thanks for finally jump starting this forum after months of inactivity! George.

I take it that's 60 Roadrailers..... What are your speed restrictions with Roadrailers on CP trackage? George.

Dave, these shots are fantastic, and as a CN enthusiast, my tail is wagging up quite a breeze! Do you have any old shots of CN passenger equipment? George.

JC, OF COURSE IT STILL WORKS BEAUTIFULLY!! Remember, the trains and accessories you're operating were made by people who fought a world war on two fronts without a computer - AND WON! For the wheel, find an authorized Lionel repair shop near you. If you're stuck, I believe you can mail...

Hello All! I like Shamus's idea of using cloth. I hadn't thought of it, and it probably looks better than most ideas. What came to my mind was an article about this in one of the mags several years back which utilized Saran Wrap (clear plastic food wrap). The Saran was cut to a rough size...

Woodie, Shamus is right about assessing fastest to slowest of your units. Also, you don't want them too far off from each other speed wise. You want the locomotive pulling the entire train, not straining to pull along dead weight in a lash-up. WT&C also brings up a good point. Keep an eye...

I'm so sorry most of you cannot procure Homasote where you live for a sub-roadbed. It sounds like WT&C and I should go into a business of shipping Homasote around to hobby shops and exporting paint! And find that book that says to put oil on your track and shred it to make some scenery...
