We love 'em too, but only when they're fresh from the Farmer's Market in season. Mmmmmm!
March 1981 at Denville, NJ, a junction on the former DL&W. The train is on the Boonton line and is about to join the electrified mainline heading...
I found myself nodding in agreement with your posts Doug. That's exactly what I do as well, with a slight bend in the Kadee/M-T tweezer tips and...
Thanks Norseman -- I didn't know about this. That's a pretty cool addition I think. It's just the thing for a weedgrown spur with little or no...
Love the traction photos. Did some research to find that the Denver Tramway had a gauge of 3' 6". The image above looks to show a dual gauge...
They're used to hold the Knuckle Shank and the Lip Shank (see above parts diagram) together. The Trip Pin extends through the notch you can see...
I'd be lost with coupler assemblywork without my Kadee/M-T 1020 tweezers: [ATTACH]
That's a neat storage solution BNSF Fan. (y) It seems that most of us are forced to keep too much of our rolling stock and locomotives stored...
I found a Conrail bumper sticker in my stuff, somehow gathered during my career. It dates from 1985/1986 and there's a story here. Through...
Wow, JP -- that's beautiful. Is that the UP to the left?
I converted mine using M-T 1128 (aka 001 30 012) Universal Couplers Short T-Shank. You get four couplers for about $6. M-T also provides a 1129...
I love seeing old N Scale, but at $48.50 plus shipping, this is ridiculous....
From May 1979 at Knoxville, TN, former L&N caboose 6280 in fresh Family Lines paint awaits assignment. [ATTACH]
In 1984, Norfolk Southern bought North American Van Lines, then sold it at a loss four years later. I'm guessing that a trucking operation within...
I'll let others field your question, but can your five-year-old easily and reliably put HO trains on the track? I ask because Lionel is often...
Railroads hope to "monetize" (their term, not mine) their government-mandated spending on PTC. The lower hanging fruit will be using the reams of...
I still have my old TI SR-11 from 1973. It too has red LED digits. Its rechargeable batteries have long since faded away, but I'll bet that it'd...
You posted this picture three weeks ago and I'll bet I've looked at it a dozen times since. Each time I look at it, I see something new, er, old....
I like them too. I wish I had room for one on my planned layout, but there's just no way. If I ever have room for an addition, it'll be on the plan!
I found this ancient artifact in a drawer this evening, a gift from NS dating from the mid-1980s at a time in my career when I worked as Asst....
