(Almost) Every KADEE coupler must be adjusted after installation. KADEE has very good tools for that (Pliers and the gauge). This is a general problem and is also actual for NEM pockets. The height of the Pocket is more or less standardised in NEM, however there are always some differences...

The standard in German is here: http://www.miba.de/morop/pdf/nem355.pdf Good luck.

Hi all I designed and built my own motor driven mechanism. The main requirement were: Slow motion Enough power for PECO and Scale 1 turnouts Small in dimension No limit switches (to avoid diverse problems). Simple operation (DCC compatibility). Now my switches (over 25 units)...

I ve been to this museum, have a look to the pictures I made in October last year.

Hi everybody I know quite well the area (it is not my first visit). The Avon yard would be fine if I can get some help. I was not in Lafayette yet, so probably it will be my next trip. Thank you very much.

Hi all. I will have one free day (Apr. 26th) in Indianapolis. Any suggestion what is worth to visit in subject of railroads or RR models. Thank you for your suggestions. :)

Thank you. It looks interesting. I downloaded the pages and will study. :rolleyes:

Hi I have a problem with gears size specification. I know how the gears are specified in Europe (modul and teeth) but no idea how do you do it in oversea or what does it mean e.g. 48 DP. Thank you for your help.

Re: HOe/HOm In Europe the standard were slightly simplified, to avoid all thos stresses with different scales and tracks. The H0m is really the equivalent of the meter gauge lines (with some variations cca from 900 mm to 1200 mm) and uses the TT scale tracks (12 mm) with the same or...

Hi you are right. The model is animated (even functional :eek: theoretically I could cut some balsa ..... :D ). The frame with piercing saw blades is moving up and down, and the transportation mechanism (two ribbed drums) is turning to move slowly the log across the saw. The motor...

New pictures were uploaded to my layout WEB page: Like this one. Have a visit. The Ferkel Lines

It was the wrong one (those small thumbnails :mad: )

Sorry there was the wrong picture

Hi Shamus few photos are on my WEB page, and I will make some more (not on the layout in next days). I have also a drawing - the model is a bit different in the part where the log is moved to the gatter (I found an another method in an old book). Have the drawings and the old picture...

Hi I prefer on locomotives brass and other metals (because of weight). On cars (did not build many) I use laminated paper or cardstock and styren. On buildings recently I prefer wood and with metal, stone and plastic accessories (like windows).

There is one more picture (others are on my WEB pages). THE FERKEL LINES

Hi all I just recognized, that I piut the wrong picture (without frames yet). I wil upload a new one sorry for that. I used the Keystone Shay frames and made two more with a simple silicon copy method. You can buy a silicon for bathroom sealing. Use some quality separator on the...

Everybody builds a sawmill for his logging railroad. I did as well, but a bit differently as we know. This machine is the so called venetian gatter, which with a single operation cuts the wood into lumber. Do you have (did you have) such machines over the lake?

For my climax I used the Keystone whitemetal frames for the boogies.

If you are not limited by budget there are excellent flat batteries used in different small Walkmen, Discmen and MP3 players. :D :D :D
