I've just about decided to add another yard engine to the roster. It'll be a little steam engine of some sort. Cost is a consideration. Any...
Weekly Report. Goal was to get some operations going. Club visited last Tuesday night, so I gave it a try. Moderate success. Comments on the...
Half Way Through the Six Weeks! Goal for the next week is to get a bit of operations started. So far, I have an idea of the types of trains my...
Thanks for all the info, Guys. I tried a mock-up of the superelevated curve over the weekend. The curve itself is only about 10 degrees, radius...
Anybody have any experience with superelevation? I'm considering adding some superelevation to a large radius curve (60 inch) on a module. Basic...
