Welcome, Terrence. It's nice to see someone from South Africa. I was there back in 1987, and would like to go back now to see how things have changed; but that's not the topic at hand. I also plan to model North America in the 50's, specifically the New Haven Railroad (which would not be...

All the answers are probably good. I don't really know. My first impression was that it had something to do with live steam, however, so I'll go with Triplex on this one.

If you're into NYNH&H, you should check out the NHRHTA Forum at http://pub97.ezboard.com/bthenhrhtanewhavenrailroadforum. There has been some discussion there of what the status of the fallen flag NH logo is, and apparently NHRHTA owns it and there is no problem with modelers using it. I'm...

Guess I'd better stick my two cents (or more) in here. Although I do not have a currently operating layout, I have one in my head and quite a bit of rolling stock already. I even have some DCC stuff I bought here on The Gauge. There is something about The Gauge that is different from other...

That's one of the best comic strips around, and she manages to get in a railroad reference fairly frequently. The rest of it is pretty true to life, too.

Nice pix, guys. Here in Upstate New York, only 250 miles from the big city, we just had a few flurries and have all of about 2" on the ground. Sort of an aside, but with specific reference to the pix Taylor posted, it sure would be nice to know where you are. That looks like a nice little...

Just to emphasize what has already been said, any good scanner that can receive in the 160 mhz range should work. As with any radio, the better the antenna, the better your reception; but your location in relation to the railroad you want to listen to makes a huge difference, too. If you're in...

Great idea, but maybe you should include some sort of shield behind the holder to prevent, or at least minimize, spillage. This is the voice of experience speaking. Not layout, but I committed the unpardonable sin of spilling coffee on my computer last week, and it would have cost me over half...

Photography, listening to classical music, some theatre, and, of course, railroad history and lore.

Great video, considering the limitations of your camera. The sound is great, too; and I like your broad selection of rolling stock.

Ayup. Uv course.

It's still erratic at 9 am EST on Monday the 16th.

Great news! Don't forget to keep us all posted on progress. We really care.

Yeah. Hand drawn might be slightly better; and, if it's faster and better for you, do it. I liked this one as is, however. Whatever you do I'm sure will please some and not please others. Just keep up the good work.

Geez. You guys blocked the sight of the tracks. We could've missed a train!

I agree. I happened to just chance upon one once, and it is quite spectacular.

FWIW, I liked this one better than the one on the poll.

Don't know how I missed this thread until now, but... I am currently retired from various and sundry retail electronics ventures: First two-way radio, then that expanded into all sorts of consumer electronics, as well as professional audio and video. Then I sold that business in two...

I guess you guys are really corrupting me. I have several Larry Fisher prints of Canadian RR scenes, mostly around Toronto; and for Christmas I got a "Canadian Trains" calendar. Well, at least you still have some reasonable passenger service up there, while ours is slowly disappearing...

Merry Christmas to all on The Gauge; and let's not forget Hannukah and Kwanzaa, both of which follow right on the heels. A BIG holiday few days.
