3 decoders, two of which are spoken for then a spare. Figured while at it to stock up on some couplers before the prices shoot up. This likely will be the last 1015s I'll need for a very long time.
Pick this up this cool locomotive. Northern Alberta Railways (NAR) GMD-1 with some slight weathering from previous owner. Has DCC and sound. Probably paid to much but it's kind of unique. Going to run this weekend.
Expected Tuesday, the Kato N Scale Glacier Express, from a fellow TB member. Now, if only I could afford to locate the LGB version! Last I saw, ebay had a couple of the cars, at close to $1,000 for 2 cars!
Went to train swap. Some how an A-B set of walthers CFA cab units, Micro-Trains 50' Santa Fe reefer, and BLMA 50' Pennsylvania gondola followed me home.
Got a nice C&O Heavy Mountain on Ebay. Those don’t come up very often so I was glad to get that one. Got some Peco flextrack and turnouts. (Not from Ebay).
Well in continuing with nothing but small power on the layout 2 MicroAce DD-12s are on the way from Japan. Should arrive next Monday. They are homely little critters with a face that only a mother could love. Microace_A1045-1 by John Moore posted Mar 23, 2022 at 10:21 AM
Will running about I picked up 'The Resistor Handbook' CJ Publishing. It's from 1998 and I don't think I'll understand it. But, it helps to explain the DCC following.
Do you have a working link? I tried to go to the sale, at least I thought it was, about a week ago and there was an error message on the page I'd been given. Thanks, Sumner
Sumner, the listing is in the Trade / Swap section. The website is being archived, the family does not have anyone to mange it. Archived http://theoakvillesub.rrarchives.org/ the main site will expire sometime. I have ask the family for an updated list so that I can post it for them as I have been over the past few months
I'm crazy, but I just ordered 5 Micro-Trains 40' tank cars (corn syrup service). Now all I need is an industry for them to serve LOL Hmm... high fructose corn syrup is bad for a layout...
Corn syrup is a glucose sweetener used in beverages and foods. Other food ingredients might arrive in hoppers, box cars, tank cars, tank containers, etc. Food products, if packaged for retail, would go out in box cars or perhaps containers, or if in bulk, tank cars/containers and/or covered hoppers. Corn syrup is produced from corn starch. A corn syrup producer would consume corn starch, or corn from which the starch is produced (either would arrive in covered hoppers, but different types, e.g. gravity vs pressure flow.) It is possible that a firm could receive corn, produce and sell corn starch, and use some of the corn starch to produce and sell corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is produced from corn syrup with enzymes.
Jenn had to go back home. I contacted her about the Aztec rollers I was missing and she gathered up everything she had left track cleanerwise and I bought the remainder of the track cleaning cars and parts on march 1th.
Jenn has the remaining items with her and I have asked (when she has time) to provide us an update. I post the updated listing if / when I get it.
Ballast that I ordered from Arizona Rock & Mineral in late January arrived yesterday. My LHS was out so I ordered it direct, I guess they had to make a new batch of what I wanted and that is why it took so long. Anyway now I've got it and can continue.
