Welcome aboard You won't find a better bunch of guys anywhere. Full of information and funlovers. No slamming or personal bashing here. Just a great place. I operate a short line near Pittsburgh, Pa and live in Ohio Charlie

Maybe we agree on the E and F noses, but that may be because we remember them better. I think if more had been built and stayed around longer, we might be discussing the PA's and FA's Charlie

the method of measurement is something to the effect of holding on end of the tape at one point and place the 100' mark at another point on the curve. Measure the deflection from the tape to the rail and multiply by 4 or something to get the deg of curvature. Actually it is way simpler then...

Same problem here some of the posts don't show the attachments. Now lets try to post some more photos. Does anyone have a NMRA clearance gauge they can loan?:wave: Charlie

March, 1979 in Virginia. A really great looking and fast running locomotive. The word "Royal" is indeed earned. Charlie

I figured I better put a couple up for Ralph too. Charlie

Had a new engineer trying out on my buddies railroad, unfortunately he couldn't stand the pressure. Charlie

Fresh from the Altoona Shops. Aug, 1995 Gee I can post pictures too. Charlie

Dear Tim I've been away from the main line for 13 years now so I can't verify for sure but Amtrak used the 5 chime Nathan horn on almost everything I've heard prior to that. Maybe someone will verify what was on the P42. Charlie

Dear Tim This site lists the p42 ESU LokSound Ver 3 72466-72469 4 different choices of air horns Charlie

Deano Being a fairly new addition to the gauge I haven't read all your posts, but the ones I've seen have answered a lot of questions. I would like to consider you a friend and someday I hope we can meet each other. Charlie

I'm envious of all these beautiful cabs. this is my model, a slightly modified N&W C3. The weathering was done by Mother Nature. I need Deano's dad to keep her looking better. all my ho stuff is PRR. 75 miles from here. Keep up the nice pictures Great jobs guys. Charlie

this links to the coal burning tech: Yahoo! Groups Charlie

After researching this a little better you find out it takes more energy to make the radio waves than you can get from the salt water. There is a new coal burning process that keeps the emmissions liquid. The coal is burned under 3500 psi keeping the gases liquified and recoverable. This has...

Well Ralph we are actually one up on this. In 2000 Armstrong county had an O scale box car made to celebrate its bi-centenial. We have an old X29 that we painted up to match. It wasn't quite prototype but was real close. would you call this 48/1 scale?

Ok now if I have this straight ....Global warming will turn to global cooling. We will siphon off the ocean water to burn for fuel and the oceans will drop, the ice caps will reform lowering the oceans even more so we will then have more land to farm, no need to make ethanol out of all our corn...

without a doubt a great inovation. but the consequenses to the world economy will be devastating. Would you venture to guess how many people will become unemployed. On the upside, if energy is cheap and clean we can devote our efforts to more constructive things. It will just be the changeover...

Dear Ralph My wife does the website for us and she is pretty darned good at it I think. She doesn't assume people know something so she really tries to make it clear for them. I designed the color scheme and she designed the logo. She is also very proud of the morphed train image. I'll tell her...
