A distance shot might help

This Yellow Beast is self-powered (see anything that looks familiar)

Has some extra time yesterday while going up Vancovuer Ilsland, so I stiopped at a couple of outdoor museums. Got these picture and a few more. Anyone know what is called?

Well I have found someone with an animation bend. Your plans (as published) and the working models are just what excites me about this hobby. Little scenes that comes alive. It does require a mind full of good thoughts and creative idea's and you have them in spades.

That camera of yours is to die for. It's in my budget but not for a few months. Even tried to get a pre-Christmas good deal but only got close. Been scouting out the 720 and 730 models My question relates to your "little people" and who makes them and if they are available to Canada. They...

Yes 60103 thats the problem I would like to avoid. It appears that a resistor would be the best choice as it would reduce the amps and related heat factor in the smoke box. Thanks for adding your comment - hope someone can discuss what they did.

In one of my P2K 0-8-0 steam switches the lights either have to be replaced or aided with a resistor when you switch to DCC. I will have no problem with the tender but the engine is a little bit of problem. 1. I could use the resistor but it will need two, one for each bulb or...

GP30 -- I have a couple -- one equiped with DCC and they have both been excellant. Quiet runners more so than the older Atherns. Good puller and can handle my one 18 radius curve fine. Durning layout construction I had them running on some temp curves and if they didn't handle 17 "...

The canucks are everywhere - they just don't make a lot noise. Welcome to the Nova Scotia Northern.

That's what this hobby is about - developing strong points. If you are going to be using DCC then double slip switchs need some work (I believe and so does Allan Gartner- at DCC Friendly Switchs ), if you are going to do Block wiring with out DCC then the extra wiring is not needed. You...

The only modifications I did to the Double was outlined by Allan Gartner at his site about DCC Friendly Turnouts Still have some work to do on regular turnouts to insulate the frogs to eliminate any shorts.

A month before Christmas an experienced layout builder visited my layout and strongly suggested I install a double slip switch in an area that had 4 switches, one after the other. There was no question that such a move would greatly improve the look and ultimate operation of the layout in this...

Yes I like it - nice job. Gives a very real natural look to the wet and dry rocks. Your trestle is real right on ties in nicely with the scenery you have developed around it

Good tool for quick cut on piece of wood during bench construction. Good tool for cutting out plywood road bed for track. Good tool for making cut-out in the plywood for lake or river. Good tool for making first rough cut on large piece of brass strip for scratch build project.

NO - you could put a separate light in a tunnel or above a section of hidden track and it would work the same. Light covered and you have detection.

Well its open but I just went there and the person in the Chat didn't reply so I fiqured they wanted to be alone.:rolleyes:

Some of these people who I like you see as scoundrels are really the hooked. When to a show and sale of various items - big building lots of tables - and here is guy selling some rolling stock. Athearn boxcars just like Vic was after and this seller wants $10.00 each. I ask why and he...

Poll - When Meeting Night Each club seems to have a night that is preferrered. Some want Friday so thaey don't have work the next day. Others prefer evening during the week to keep the weekend free for other activities. It should be interesting and thanks for the input.

Great job of bridge building!!!! The overall scene is very together, great backdrop, nice flow to the pieces and great color relationship. Super scene--------
