You can stick your head out without getting wet!

Check out this thread: http://forum.zealot.com/t150709/ There's a 2 page discussion about the same thing. Good info in there.

They would work well for your time period.

#3 has a cleaner look. I find #5 somewhat hard to look at. The overall design is great, but the red seems overbearing.

You know, one thing that limits a lot of projects is money. Maybe we could try a cheap challenge like one of the following: "Parts box challenge" - Build a train related structure, industrial equipment, locomotive, caboose, or super detail a scene by using only spare parts. "$5 Scratchbuild"...

How 'bout some RR related industrial equipment? Team tracks? MOW?

Don't forget, any garage built before the 1970s will probably be smaller than you expect. Old cars didn't demand as much space as the land yachts of the 1960s and 70s. This is especially apparent in garages originally intended for Ford Model As or Model Ts. You can barelly fit a modern econo-car...

The mallets had varying duties during their time on the Uintah, but the pass was shared between all engines. The only exceptions were the consolidations, and mikados. In general... Shays or 0-6-2T's usually handled the single passenger car. Shays or mallets took Gilsonite ore over the hump...

The narrow guage Uintah Railway, on the Utah / Colorado border, had 2 extremely sharp curves. Track was initially laid with one each, 75 and 80 degree!! curve. (66' radius I believe) After even the Shays and 0-6-2T couldn't negotiate the radius, they were opened to 66 degrees each. In N scale...

I'd say it's better overall. A noticable improvement. I'm having some 'time out' issues with certain topics though. I still haven't found the commen denominator for those topics, but I'll let you know if I do.

Yep, Fast Frieght. Although they were seen almost everywhere out west... They were designed specifically for the long Omaha - Salt Lake City run, at high speed.

I just wanted to add to a few things that have been discussed. The dissassociation of elements in a water molecule requires vastly more energy than recombining them. So, even though the byproduct of this new method would be steam and gasses from the salt, the energy required makes it anything...

I'm really sorry about your loss David. Most transactions that result in an "Item not received" are deleted from Ebay. So.... it is possible to have done this to any number people before he got caught. Since deleting the auction history (by ebay employees) also deletes feedback for that...

It's too late at night for me to validate anything else, but this formula... upon close inspection this seems to be a constant, and not a variable equation. Because everything here is being multiplied or divided, the entire equation can be arranged any way you choose. DD x 5280 x 12...

The RC world and MRR world are quite a bit different when it comes to drawings. It's not as easy to get rolling stock and locomotive drawings as it is for planes. Free, that is... There ARE quite a few available, but you usually need to pay a small fee in some way. Most drawings that are...

A geared 0-2-2-0. :thumb:

I own three B-mann 2-6-6-2's. All of them run at prototypically 'slow' speeds. It may seem like a crawl after running the 4-4-0, but it's probably a more realistic scale speed. If your layout is built for speed, try rearranging it a bit. Some long sweeping turns, and mild climbs to watch the...

You have named only a few of a great number of C-130 variants. Read about more here: C-130 Hercules - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The "twin 20's" configuration is rarelly used any more. It's not as effective as some other versions. The "cannon" is a 105mm Howitzer. Usually, the...

Great job, even if you didn't meet the deadline. That's life... gotta roll with it.

I had an SD-40 that did the same thing. It had a click, and a grind... The grinding was from rough gears. It just needed to be run-in. I used some gun barrel lapping oil with 30 minutes of running to smooth them out. (I don't reccomend this. Improper use can ruin your loco.) The...
