RPO Info Thanks to all! With the picture and suggestion to check suppliers I will build or buy. One way or the other I will have it installed. Thanks again. Dave

We have 2 passenger trains on our layout. Both include RPO cars. Does anyone know where I can get a picture of the rack or frame that held the mail bag that the hook picked up. If I had a picture I could build one, with bag, and install it near the station. All help appreciated; thanks in...

I just acquired a new BlueLine M1a for use on a very old fashioned DC system. Works great! But, I have a question. There is an analog control unit that you can buy, wire up, and then have a lot more control over specific sounds, volume, etc.. Is this unit a chore to program?I do not use DCC and...

Thanks, Will call local hobby shop on Monday and order it. Dave

Thanks for the tip. IHC lists none at this time on the net site. No luck at e-Bay either. Maybe I will get lucky at a train sale; the problem is that local tarin sales seem to be going out of style here. Thanks anyway. Dave

I need some help! Over the years I have put together a pretty good Broadway Limited consist for my PRR area, pulled by a K4s or an E-8. All the cars have interiors but one. It is a Rivarossi PRR Dining Car 1930, item number 2816. It is an old car, thus old numbers, I am sure. Model Railroader...

That thing on the flat car? I used the picture with the first article on this topic as a loose guide. The body of the "thing" is most of an old 35 mm film container, with part of it cut off for a lower height. The braces around the base are plastic structural steel bits out of the scrap box...

Thanks for the help. There is no "browse" command when using a Mac and Safari, but I tried an alternate method; it worked. Now I just have to remember how I did it! If you look closely in the picture you may notice that the car is on brass track with fiber ties. I think that is called very...

Test run of the nuclear waste car Don't have an 8 axle car, but the idea works........

rhtastro, Your sharp picture of the cut out for the cooling pond means that you know how to post pictures! Can you walk me through the steps? This is not the correct way to get this info, but when I click on the link that is indicated to explain the process it just bounces me back to the same...

I have started on the depressed center car and nuclear cask load. When I have finished,IF I can remember how to post pictures I will let you take alook at it. Thanks for the great picture; a good starting point! Dave

I have the same question as tomd81. I have a depressed flat and have started to get together the bits and pieces from my scrap (I prefer "possible future spare parts")collection. Need to know if there are two diff. kinds of containers. Dave

HornHooks cont'd Glad to hear from someone who is also familiar with the work of Dr. Allan Rice. You can imagine my reaction, at age 18, when I saw what he had created! Maybe part of the reason I do not convert to Kaydee is an odd sense of loyalty to my old Alma Mater; I would not want to hurt...

Those nasty Hornhooks! I may have a unique perspective here. In the 50's I was a student at Ursinus College, and we had a language prof, Dr. Allan Lake Rice. The college once had an exhibit of his HO scale passeneger cars, scratch built, with astounding detail and finish. I had started in HO in...

Prr A BIG help; thanks a lot. Dave

I have a fairly complete consist for the PRR's Broadway limited. The cars are Rivarossi and most have interiors. They (interiors) are all the original cream colored plastic. Does anyone know where I could get some info on what would be the correct interior colors? Seats that look more like the...
