One thing that might separate my layout from most is that although the years might be different, the "period" is, regardless of year, June and...
Steve - To the best of my knowledge and observation the slogans were the same both sides. I'm tempted to offer a flat "no." But, as you know...
FLG - The closest I've come is dryer lint which is (from my machine) almost the perfect grey color. But even this (at least to my eyes) just...
lars128 - Well constructed and intelligent with which I concur right to almost to the 100% mark. Remarks in this thread (as in the other two)...
Appears to me that this has become a re-hash of a thread from several weeks ago that was originally about the names/degrees/variation involved...
And the beat goes on ... ? Several (many?) factions insisting to various degrees that "their" type/degree of modeling is the "only true faith."...
Would think that if anyone stuck with the hobby and did/could read, these names would pop up from time to time. And dependent on interest(s)...
In the 1950s there were probably 200 to 2,000 passenger trains per day. The range was from a one car 15 mph train on a branch, normally mixed...
Delmarvafan: You found something I didn't. All that I did was recollections to the best of my memory, and you know how that goes..... !
I agree at least on the F units. If a GP had a white lense, don't think the mechanism for a Mars/Gyralite would have fit.
In my area (SE U.S.) track, ties, and even older ballast seems to be "tinted" by rust from the rails. Haven't tried painting individual ties, but...
Delmararailfan: It sounds as 'tho you're getting real time specific. As you're probably aware, accessories on a locomotive can vary considerably...
A rule of thumb I go by is to do what the prototype does. Now, those curve radii ... .
Spanish moss? For goodness sake if you know how - share! Every material I've tried falls short.
Andy - If your last is addressed to me I'm aware of power transfer moves, units d.i.t., or not, being moved for their maintenance cycle to...
I see we have something else in common - Mustangs! Fastback '67 (exactly like McQueen in "Bullit"), '81, '87 and a '96 litre 4.5. My current car...
Yes the Bachmann is close to some of the SAL doodle bugs in the 202X series. Can't access any of my SAL books but IIRC would have been just...
The only color photos of them I saw was Georgia Northern's Red and cream (off-white?). EDIT: Have found photo of SOU Rwy. Vulcan. On your...
I left out the fact that I've never been able to find a photo of these units on the Southern. Got no idea of their original color scheme.
Dean - On your computer enter "FM OP800." That will give you a couple of pages on what I think were Southern's only "doodlebugs".
