While i don't really accept Graffitti, it IS a large part of railroading (sadly), and it's something i plan to model, in due time, as soon as my layout gets past the foam stages, and i have more time to focus on that sort of thing. Mike, your work looks A++ As usual! I like the look of the...

jmarksbery, I might be reading your post wrong, but it seems to me that you might not totally understand what happened. I wrote the article i posted several months ago...so, Fred's article was of no inspiration to me, nor was it the "original". Regardless, i seem to be catching some heat for...

Lee, Dang! I like that one ALOT more!!! Looks more industrial BUT still has room for scenery. I don't see any major issues right now...besides, what is a plan but an unplanned series of revisions to the plan? hehe Later AR

Howdy Jon, At least your not totally leaving us...that would be a real loss! Shame we'll loose you as a moderator, but one's family and life comes before railroading (or so i've been told) Happy trails (or rails?) and keep us updated on the new job! later AR EDIT: Bob...i agree! :D

Hey Mike, As far as i understood, CN only had SD75I's, but they might have SD70I's as well. Not 100% sure of that. The I stands for Isolated, meaning the cab is isolated from the frame, reducing vibration and increasing comfort. Hope it helps Later AR

SMD is still in buisness...IIRC it stands for Scale Model Division or something like that. The guy that runs it, Serge, and I are friends...and we have talked quite frequently about modeling ideas. Alain Pelletier is also a friend. Both of them live in neighboring New Brunswick. I'm not...

No traction Tires, and AFAIK 2 flywheels. Picture a GP38 Drive with a steamer body around it, while not exactly what the shay is, thats a good photo reference. later AR

Not sure about "contrals", but "contrails" are the white cloud-like streams of condensing water Vapour left by jet-powered aircraft, usually only visable above 27 000 feet, but occasioanlly lower, down to, on some occasions, 15 000 feet. Sorry, totally irrelivent. Later AR

It appears to be a trainmaster...the real one was made by FM. I'm not an HO guy, so i can't help too much aside from that. Someone else should be able to, though. Later AR

If Allan is correct, then i am soooooo screwed! I've got feeders on my layout that are nearly 6 FEET, let alone 6-inches. That said, i have NO problems with voltage drop, poor running or anything like that. Most of my feeders are about 3-feet in length. IMHO, i suggest you go with Lionel. I...

Kinda makes it all worth while, eh? Leroy, I'm boxing my donation up as i type this...i'll let you know in PM when i mail it. Later AR

Thanks Val, I'll hafta get that! Dang, and i was in my LHS today! Later AR

Graham, Thats it? Geeezzeeeee!! You got off easy!

Hey, I just converted from stone-age to 21st century...err, that is to say, DC to DCC. I bought the Digitrax Zephyr and my cousin supplied me with a DT400R (R means Radio) throttle...i've operated on almost every throttle Digitrax has put out (still wanna get my hands on a new UT4) and i like...

I got more then that...i don't see what your complaining about! :p

Graham, Happy birthday! Same to you, Sputnik!

Looks good...might i suggest adding a few turnouts for some loco/rolling stock display, or very basic operations? I know, i know...more money, but if you can get them, use them! later AR

I just sent you a PM
