A new covered hopper from Jonathan Edwards' Grande Valley Railway in Michigan is now in grain service on the Andersley Western Railroad. Thanks to Jonathan for sending me the custom made decals
There used to be interest in trading cars or decals. Too bad this seems to have died away, with the influx of more modern era modelers.
BN GP30 collects a caboose from the car shop. Removes cars, pushes caboose clear then replaces tank car in shop before running around and collecting caboose then departing.
Not my loco Ken, but I would like an EMD loco to pair with my Santa Fe GE B40. Nice contrast in sounds.
Yes, on loan whilst he gets turnout control rodding installed and his layout is out of action. It is one of his BN ones which has a DCC socket so was easy to plug in decoder to run on mine.
I don't know Boxcab, I've got a box full of decent cars I wouldn't mind trading, that had not occurred to me in the past. Sounds like fun. For that matter if there is interest I'd offer up a few cars to pass around, see if any of them ever found their way back. Rick H.
Hi Alan, I always enjoy seeing pictures of your layout, you pack a lot of detail in. Thanks for posting the pictures of the GP-30. Dale
Rick- We used to have a TrainBoard Group about this type of thing. Might take a look and see if still there.
Another locomotive arrival on the AWR. Broadway RSD15 with Paragon2 Sound. Sounds absolutely amazing! Picked up for a snip as it had been dropped and one truck had come off. Took me ten minutes to refit truck, solder 2 wires and back into running order! So I in effect got a sound decoder for a third of the price with a free locomotive thrown in! It will become AWR 2401 in due course.
You really scored there Alan!! I have really enjoyed following this thread, and all the different stuff you have operating on it.
Your layout is coming along nicely, I have a lot of catching up to do. How do you operate your points?
Push-pull rodding from edge of layout, incorporating slide switch to power frog. Simple and reliable.
