So do I, but the fact remains that the proper equipment on the track would likely have slowed the train to a safe speed. Our do-nothing government...
I can't even being to express my heartache and anger over the Amtrak tragedy in my home state of Pennsylvania. It was a tragedy all the more...
Seems in pretty good shape. Another interesting element is the question on what the output would be to each terminal. Would it be the same is the...
Wow. This is a REALLY interesting piece of history. Now how do I go about generating 100VDC to power it up?
That would be great. I'd also love to know how to determine the voltage/current requirements of a DC motor.
The last two terminals are "Negative Lights" and "Positive Lights"
You're right. This guy didn't collect MODEL trains. He collected the real deal ;-)
Well, I tried a 12 volt car battery. I have a 12,000 volt transformer that I use for neon signs, but I'm hesitant to throw that much juice at it....
I believe that the patent at the link I pasted in above was for a crossing flasher system. Any ideas on how I could determine the voltage required...
The device mentioned in this patent seems to resemble part of what's in my pictures. What do you think?...
Hi all, I was just at an auction where this guy collected trains and train stuff. No, not Lionel. I'm talking full size passenger and freight...
