    Bombardier bi-levels on eastern commuter service

    I stand corrected! Sorry acsxfan1, I didn't delve deep enough into the VRE's website to find out this:

    Bombardier bi-levels on eastern commuter service

    I think, though I am by no means certain, that the high-level platforms employed by most (if not all) Center-City stations in the Northeast corridor would preclude the use of the Bombardier Bi-levels, which can only utilize low-level platforms. I am not sure if overhead catenary also might...

    What do you want to achieve in the New Year

    I am hoping to get the basement renovated so that I can start a new layout sometime this year. I've already started doodling trackplans... Oh, and I guess I should get that Gauge module done...or at least started :oops:

    what loco to use with Go passanger cars???

    Yep - GO had a six(?) car consist and F40 loco up from Miami's Tri-Rail just last year. Not sure if they are still on the property. They ran solely on the Richmond Hill line if I remember correctly. I think Life-like made an N-scale F40 in GO colours a few years back. I think that is your...

    would like feed back 2

    I'd go with the long bridge - I think it better suits the period you're modelling. Welcome btw, from another CP N scale modeller.

    CN Oxford Subdivision (Layout Plan)

    I must have missed your posts about using Ivar shelving - I could have helped you out a bit there as my last layout was done using Ivar. I found the key was to make a frame within the Ivar (on 1x2 strapping) for the base of the layout. That frame also allowed me to "spill" over the sides of...

    Take a Train To work Day

    I think the idea is to take a model train with you to work - to show off the hobby. Not that actually taking a train to work isn't a bad idea - I do it (almost) everyday. And I get to take a streetcar too...

    RR Magazine Storage

    My parents recently had a flood in their basement. Guess where my stash of Railway Modeller and Model Railway News (Brit mags) were stored? They all had to be tossed. :(

    Gauge Module Sign-up

    Oopsie - I don't know why I never saw this here before. I model N, and live in the same city as Val - guess if anyone's gonna join in, it should be me! The more I think about it, the more I like the idea - it'll get me back into the MR thing sooner - the train room in the new house is at...
