I know this is an older thread, but I had to comment on something interesting... That car on the right hand edge of the photo is exceedingly rare...
Hi All, Just curious if anyone who deals with Feather River Trains has heard anything from Chuck in the last month or so. He hasn’t updated the...
Thanks Joe, That helps quite a bit. Paul
Even a picture of a 905 by itself doesn't help. Also, if you don't have a 905s to compare, you can't make the observation that the new coupler's...
Not really. The GPIO header include a serial port, so building a product like the SProg ( going all the way back to the original serial only...
Ok, so can those of you who have some of these show us how they compare to z-scale couplers? What I want to see is: A) how does the size of the...
Andrew Crosslamd, who makes the SPROG line is working on versions of the SPROG and SPROG Nano that plug directly into the Raspberry Pi's GPIO...
Joe, I'm still up in the air about what I would buy. I don't need boxcars or covered hoppers, but I can justify open hoppers, flatcars and...
For legs I use paint roller extension poles: http://nscaleintermodal.com/Free-moN/AdjustableLegs.html The main reason I went with these poles is...
I have not done this with the truck mounted couplers yet, but I have used the links as drawbars for intermodal well cars using MTL1025 boxes on...
While on the face of it, the statement above holds a lot of truth, JMRI is not the only solution that works on smart phones. Digitrax announced (...

This is very exciting news indeed. I have a small collection of the Sunrise signals, but those are practically impossible to find. My...
I have no formal affiliation with the project, though I do compile the program from source, and I am on the developers mailing list. I've been...
This is partially correct. Xtrkcad started life as a commercial product. It was available commercially for at least 10 years, first on Linux...
They are a standard connector. I've got a few I bought at a train show from a dealer. Next time I need some, I'll buy from mouser or digi-key...
For a quoteable source, look for a book by Dr. Bruce Chubb called Build Your Own Universal Computer Interface. Dr. Chubb is the creator of the...
I think I have some photographs I can send your way. I'll look and see. As for cars to use, I would suggest offering the just the rail and the...
That's only part of the equation. You also need modules that are suitable for operations. In particular, the modules need to have switches that...
I considered OneTrak for a long time, being a long time N-traker (I own 3 operable N-trak modules at the moment), but I decided along the way that...
