Pity the Georgetown article doesn't mention the transmission line over Argentine Pass and down Peru Creek to Frisco, thence up Ten Mile Creek and...
That's very cool, tracktoo. But in my time-period (1920s) mechanization was largely confined to the larger tunnels serving multiple properties...
Indeed I was. (I'm currently living in Ireland, so it seemed like a nice tie-in.) My track plan has evolved a lot since then, but the Little...
Nicely done.
Thanks, guys. The base kit is the Durango Press D&RGW tank, but I re-cut the roof to make it round (instead of octagonal), and added Wild West...
Kokomo D&RGW water tank Just finished up my D&RGW water tank for Kokomo, CO. It's built as it was in the early 20's, some decade after the line...
Do you only have the issue when entering the AR section from Main 2 (via the cross-over), or does it also happen when you enter from Main 1 (the...
It sounds like you've got it all wired correctly (and the clicking relay should be even more evidence of that). I'd be suspecting the AR-1 at...
Hi Danny, When you say you're powering your frogs from your AR-1, do you mean just for the switches *in* the AR section, or also for those...
I'll keep an eye on ebay for some old brass. Usually the shipping to Ireland kills it, but not always. Cheers, Jeff.
Hi Bill, No, high speed won't be on the cards even once the scenery is done. I'm more of a chug-chug kind of guy. ;) I was living in San Jose...
Yeah, I've got a couple of the Blackstone locos, but they're so beautifully detailed that I think I'd have a heart-attack if one took the plunge....
I plan to complete the track laying on each section of my layout before starting the scenery. I'll test the track with gauges and a truck while...
Outstanding work on the fence (particularly the barbed wire on the top -- I've got a bunch of ranch fencing that I was planning on just using...
Scenery looks great!
Yeah, I thought it might be a demo throttle with a lot of miles on it, but the salesman said it was brand new. I really wanted to like Digitrax,...
So I had pretty much settled on a Super Chief Radio setup. It seemed to require a lot fewer keystrokes to set up a consist, it had a vaguely...
Got the benchwork frames complete. I'm only going to assemble the 2/3 of them that have risers to start with, but I wanted to lay them all out in...
I did some more research, and yes we are talking about the same concepts. "Wave reflections" is probably a better way to say it than either...
The benchwork sections are coming along (I've got 8 done out of the 12), but it was getting a bit monotonous. So I temporarily clamped a couple...
