My roommate are always joking that I'm an old man, and I should be writing angry letters to the editor...

Well, I've been doing just that today.

Several months ago, I ordered a year subscription to MRVP... and for about a little over a month, I haven't been able to access it.

I have several Insulfrog turnouts on my railroad.  The frog is a metal frog, but appears to be similar to a white metal casting.  I want to power these frogs since I run several short-wheelbase steam locomotives, but conventional solder does not stick to what appears to be a connection tab with a hole in it adjacent to the frog.  Does anyone have a suggestion for making a solid electrical connection to this type of frog?  My only option seems to be drill and tap a hole and insert a brass screw in the hole to hold the connection.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I blame this project on Athearn as they created the urge with their SDP40F locomotives.

Hello, all!

I thought I'd post some information and photos of my small switching layout depicting a portion of the industrial park in Clinton, OK on the Farmrail System.  Era is sometime in the past five years or so, before the GP10s began to get replaced on that railroad in the past couple years.

Railfan Danny Harmon's video "Railfanning Jacksonville 09" includes a picture of a track greaser at about the 6 minutes 30 seconds .  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9djPeKGFz0&t=346s

Thanks!

On a trip to Albany, we stopped at the Mohawk Valley railroad store, as well as did some railfanning. You can read about this here and here.
