hi guys. Sorry I've been out of the loop for so long. Update on NASM: yeah, we never got off the ground, namely because of two major issues. 1)...
Tim! I'm done with your truck, but we need to have a conversation....PM me your email, I seem to have lost it! Doc
Jurg, I'm seriously thinking about that...maybe doing some early (Era I and II) NA cars and cabooses (caboosi?:biggrin2:) for steam-type first...
These are our primary concerns, but we have also undergone some administrative changes which are not complete. In addition, the current...
John, thanks for the preview. Ummm....your links on the Ngineering stuff and your coffee break link all go to a popup of the MTL ad. Thought you...
Bill, Long wind after 65 is always a good thing....All of us can learn from folks like you. As a young fart (I'm 35), I'm interested in...
OK...that highway is just cool!
And I can't go....waah! :tb-sad: Oh, well. I guess I'll go fishing....:tb-biggrin: Have fun everyone!
Ahhh, a sad morning...I just looked at the specs...250mA @ 24V....:tb-sad: I guess I should keep looking.....
The solenoids I'm looking at (I'll try to have the specs next time I'm logged in) are spring loaded, so just an on/off with a number designation...
Update.... I found solenoids, for about $1.50 per, but now I don't know which kind of decoder to use. All I need is DC power on or off....
Will do....
Unfortunately, we're talking 50-75 switches, so a tortoise-style setup is out of the question finance-wise. However, I have been talking with a...
I'm looking for just the solenoid switch itself, not the whole turnout. I'll be handlaying those. This is also in Z scale, so Atlas isn't any help.
Hi everybody. I'm looking into building a huge yard in Z, so I really don't want to try to afford the 50(?) or so tortoises needed. Does anyone...
I'm looking to model the real yards within a 3' X ? for a modular system in Z, so I can effectively have 3/8 of a scale mile to play with.
Thanks Adam! I actually have that book.....
It's a fascinating idea, but unlike the Chunnel (and its various issues), a tunnel under the Bering Strait would be crossing over a massive...
Nah, the yard is less a priority than NASM stuff. Besides, I want to run steamers on it!:we-biggrin:
Hi everybody. I'm looking into modelling the Ogden, UT yards in Z and was wondering if there is a good book/magazine article on making yards (in...
