Here are some new arrivals at the Danbury Railway Museum--all within the last few months---one each: FL-9, RS-3m, RSC-2, and a couple of box cars known to be original New Haven. http://public.fotki.com/Peirce/railroad/danbury_rr_museum_3/

Its has been a while, but I finally was able to move my pictures to a new site which seems to have the stability needed. The RS-11 album is now at: http://public.fotki.com/Peirce/railroad/danbury_rr_mus-rs-11/ Not much in new pictures during the winter, but what I have is available...

Hi, Bob. This is a good idea. I live in Southbury, Connecticut. I can be found at the Danbury Railway Museum, in Danbury, CT, at least twice a month, sometimes more. Because of my work schedule I am usually there on a Wednesday. If you plan to visit, and will be there mid-week, let me...

Gary, I believe you are right. Rix does make one. I have one for HO. I don't know if it will work on N, or if they make a smaller one. I picked mine up at my favorite model RR store.

A Mogul is a 2-6-0, since tenders don't count. As Rory indicated, there are different types and sizes of tenders, so it is possible their wheel configurations could vary. During the life of a steam loco, it may not always have the same tender. Here is a picture of the Mogul at the Danbury...

I don't know the details of ownership in Germany, but it may be true the railroads are government owned. The key here is that they work, and are on time. When I was in Paris last year, I checked on the TGV to Geneva as compared to a standard train. The travel times: TGV 4 hrs, 40 min...

I don't usually advocate having the government underwrite any private industry. However, in the case of the railroads, we should be taking a clue from the europoean counties where they still consider train service important. So far as I know, every railroad there, except maybe some in the...

The trucks belonging to the RS-11 have been offloaded from the flat car they rode on the trip from Georgia. They were in such poor condition they could not be used when the RS-11 was towed from Georgia to Connicticut. We borrowed the trucks from our FA-1. I have added pictures of the...

Woody, No, they are two distinctly different locomotives. I am not a technical expert on these units, but the RS-11 is bigger. If you click on the link in my signature it will take you to all my photo albums. You can see several pictures of the DRM's RS-1 in the Danbury Railway Museum...

This may be a bit of a teaser. I only added two pictures, but one of them is a first look into the cab of RS-11, number 1402. There will be more later.

Congratulations! It is a well-deserved honor.

I couldn't agree with you more. Without forgetting what happened last week, I feel it is time to turn our attention to the positive things in our lives.

It is hard to put into word my feelings at this time. Shock, disbelief, horror, anger, hatred, whatever, I have gone through it. What lifts me up is knowing through this and other fora and emails that there are more people like yourselves out there, world wide, who have gone through the same...

OK, Alco fans, here are three of them. Left to right: RS-11, RS-1. FA-4. Location: Danbury Railway Museum, Danbury, CT.

I just responded to the poll and it worked OK for me.

PM test Just sent you a test PM message.

This new board software looks good. I like the new functions, etc. It does seem to load more slowly, however. I hope this is only a matter of fine tuning. I am curious about the relationship between vBulletin and Infopop. Is vBulletin just a new name? They look so much alike I can't...
