Unitrak Passenger yard questions

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:19:00 -0600

Hey guys! I'm back. This year I really, really, really plan on getting a permanent layout up. I will be lowering it from a ceiling, so it won't be huge. 5 x 9 to 6 x 12 max. Starting at 4 x 8. Today, I'm going to hang the device I will use to raise and lower the platform. When that happens, I will start a real thread on LOTUS 1.0.

But, having cleared the snow, I'm sitting with RR Track 5.0 (Anyone that has it, PLEASE email them and ask him to add all the missing Unitrack to the library , and the walthers turntable! ). Failing that is there planning SW that has all of the Kato pieces?

Locomotive Dropped From Crane....Caught on Camera

Now last year, a Freightliner Class 70 was dropped from a crane as it was being off loaded in England after being shipped from the US. Well, it has happened again, but this time it occured in Africa. An EMD GT46c-ACe was being off loaded when one of the cradles failed, causing the loco to crash onto the dock. Strangely enough, one of the workers decide to film the unloading and happened to capture the fall. The video shows the fall in real time then slow motion (which explains the length). The loco falls at 16 seconds in.

Hi folks.

A probably-too-long video of one of my sound-equipped Berks, No. 732, taking a train around my still-under-constuction N-scale NKP layout.

Best scenery I've seen on an N scale layout. DC layout, 2 track main, one east one west. A country layout with no yards or cities. Please turn down the sound because theres too much talking. Just enjoy the ride and the scenery. Camera car derails at the end of the video.

How many cars do you have?

I decided to make a database for my freight cars.

Upon listing all of them I found that I had a total of 101 freight cars of all types. (58 of these being reefers)

This just got me to thinking. (I don't do that often.....it hurts)

I have only been in the hobby for 3 years.
Some of you have no doubt been modeling for 30 or more years.
I would be interested
