Garth, you're right. Battery technology isn't quite where we need it to be at this size, but it might viable in the not-so-distant future. I...
Thought I'd share this link with you all; it just popped-up in my mail box last night from someone I barely know. Looks like it's being...
Think we all know the feeling well. I dropped a cylindrical hopper on my desk a couple of months ago; both trucks exploded on impact. Parts have...
Happy New Year everyone! I, too, count myself in as one of the lucky ones. There are two LHS's in my area that carry Z, plus a warehouse...
I got mine for another project several years ago at Future Electronics (also known as Future Active, or Active Electronics.) The link gives you...
I can relate to your pain. Check these links out; are these what you're looking for? If so, you can order some, or I can pick up some at my...
Here's my $0.02 worth from a relative rank amateur: I have completed my first caboose, and the second one is 85% complete. It has taken me 5...
Here's my be-decalled CN caboose behind the stock MT GP-9. I don't know about you, Garth, but I almost went through the entire roll of wire to...
Let me guess; CN/BC Rail Capilano River crossing near Ambleside?
I have a CN Pointe St Claire caboose on the bench as well, awaiting decals. This is my first foray into building anything; the learning curve has...
Alas, I am standing on guard for thee this weekend. Say hello to Tom & Joyce; they're from my LHS in this corner of the Z world. Scott
Here's my progress. I'm learning a lot in the process. Scott
I'm in too; a CP & a CN. I'm hoping my dormant model-assembly skills have only been in hibernation rather than completely eroded away :) Scott
I must take for granted what I see practically daily in this port town; auto racks from UP, SP, CSX, CN, CP, BNSF, just to name a few off the top....
Thanks to you all for your comments; I would have been disappointed if someone didn't comment on the layout location! I guess I'll have to...
It was some time ago (last April) that I announced that I would attempt to build a layout. There has been some roadblocks in the way; work,...
Welcome Cody! I'm a Z neophyte, and I'm sure you'll find everyone here to be very friendly and helpful. I'm in Vancouver, so if you need...
I'm currently (pun?) using Cat 3 Telco or Cat 5 network cable; it's 24 gauge & readily available in most hardware stores. I'm still a newbie at...
GN moved a lot of ore out the whole area way back when; one of these days I'll have to take a trip and explore. Can't remember the last time I...
Yes, there's quite a history of GN in southern BC. Although this book is more about the CPR, it also tells in detail about GN's competitiveness...
