Mileposts around here in L&N country are measured from one point, Union Station in downtown Louisville. Mileposts can be on either side of the...
Sounds like Versailles,KY, which isn't "Ver-sai", but "Ver-sales". Locals will give you strange looks if you use the former.
From my experience on the 'bay, they take 10% of how much you sell in a particular month, so when I list things on there, I tend not to do too...
Minimum radius for any of the GEVOs is 18 inches. Minimum radius after checking information on the trackplan is 19 1/2. 19 for sure at least....
The inner loop has the same issues with these engines. I don't know if radius is an issue. Again, my MTH GEVO, which is just as long and has as...
I got a half dozen CSX Scale Trains Tier 4s in yesterday, and the two I ran on the layout ran similar to the intermountain units. None of them...
I only have the Zephyr hooked up that's in the photo a few posts up.
The lights stay on, usually I can hit the horn button and they start rolling again.
Having a slight issue with my Intermountain ET44AHs (I have two). Both will move for a brief bit on the outside loop of the oval before slowing to...
Made a trip to two local LHS today. Bought a Digitrax Zephyr system, two locomotives, two freight cars and a sheet of cork roadbed along with one...

A short update: I've been planning on buying a Digitrax set for the layout, just haven't yet because of uncertainty about the whole thing. The set...

After spending two years in O I decided to switch scales again, moving to HO scale after seeing that there are several models of local railroads...
CSX acquired a bunch of Norfolk Southern's SD40-2's in a trade for CSX's SD80MACs. This was a movement of 15 SD40-2s.
It's been awhile since I've posted here, and I figured I'd share some photos I've taken so far this year. I haven't been out as much as I would...
They're saying we'll get a mild winter here in Kentucky. Above average temperatures...with above average rainfall. I don't mind the "no snow" bit.
The way I see it, if they don't live with you, it's none of their business how much you have. If they do live with you, as long as the bills are...
I've tinkered with my layout a bit(finally got the entire main up and running, but no blocks or anything else). Still tempted to get rid of it and...
Chased CSX Q272 out of Louisville this morning. [img] CSX Q272-26, Glenarm,KY 12/26/2011 by bluegrassrailfan, on Flickr [img] CSX Q272-26, La...
