I just started installing Tam Valley servos on my n-scale layout and had problems programming their addresses.  I sent an email to Tam Valley and had a quick reply that boiled down to "read the instructions."

 Hi All,

A little while ago I posted a question relating to the various chain link fence kits available in HO, and which one people found to be the most realistic and easiest to install.  My experience so far has been only the Walther's kit, but I have ordered the BLMA kit and am awaiting it's arrival.

Yes it did, if finally happened, Ben Neal of Subpar Productions finally made it, thats right, he made a Norfolk and Western Class J, No.600 to be exact, and its some of the finest 3D modeling I've seen to date within the Trainz community, while I get into other forms of 3D modeling, especially the female kind, Trainz has been one of my mainstays, over the years I've been playing with Trainz, and technically its still a game, it has provided me with many hours of great fun and satisfaction.

Here's something unusual to throw at your traincrews during your next ops session.

Hello , long awaited answer to replacement dcc board on  Proto's EMD E units  due out this spring . And much needed on Proto's older model of the E units " MRC 1902 " . I bought a set A B E-6's The A unit being powered had a 8 pin dcc plug but not much room for a sound or speaker , here is my E-6 987 with a mrc sound chip and 18mm slim speakers front and aft . Other problems  mars light will not work in dcc mode so I replaced it with brite LED .

The work continues on the expansion of the layout into the alcove area and I've recently installed the joists on the L-girders.  The weights are on the benchwork at the right are there because of a nasty twist caused by warped lumber.  Once I attached the benchwork to the floor it won't be a problem.

Here in Queensland Australia the Railway we have 3'6" or 42" gauge as the mainline railway.

here is some models of the transition period from steam to Diesel power on our groups layout "Rosevale".

I don't intend to uncouple (Kadee #5) using any magnatic means.  Therefore, is there any need to keep the trip pin?  If they are not adjusted accurately they tend to hang up on switches.  And I would like to clip them off.  Other than magnatic uncoupling are they of any use?

Hi Jack from Star, Idaho, I have completed quite a large trestle project and I am about done with the scenery.  The trestle is seven feet six inches long (652 scale feet) and supports three main lines.  By the time I was finished I had over 3200 pieces installed.  The trestle has minature red led air craft marker lights (nine per side) and lighting shinning down on the rail line below it.  The trestle stands about 80-85 scale feet high.  I have added a lot of detail to include cat walks and railing on both sides, workers on the bridge and signallin
