The Lehigh Branch is the primary switching center for the Bourbon River Sub.  Major customers include a gravel quarry, cement mill, a brewery, publishing facility, and maybe a millwork plant.  I plan on including some street running around the publisher and brewery.

My mom is my greatest critic, whether it's my acting work or my train modeling, I can count on her to give me honest critical feedback. She had a few things to say about my first photos of the Lionel FA... well, she actually had a single thing to say: "top not rusty". Hopefully I have fixed that to her liking.

Video 4 is up here is a photo of the finished project. Hope you enjoy the video!

In 1959 a total of 19 electric locomotives started to pull iron ore to the coast in Sweden. These were at the time the most powerful electric locomotives in Europe (the world?).

Work progresses steadily on the TSR. While the railroad is set in the 1990's in New England, a friend stopped by with his steam engines to do some track testing. I find there is no better test of track reliability than running various steam engines with different wheel configerations. I am happy to report that we had only 1 minor derailment. Things are looking good.

Hi Guys 

I am starting to plan a HO scale layout modeling the Rio Grande in 1986-1987 just before the Southern Pacific brought them. Them room size is 13ft x 20ft ive been looking around for ideas and have found some it does need to have staging under the layout as well. 

I do have all my loco fleet and rolling stock as well and it will be running a NCE DCC wireless system. 

Thanks 

Lindsay

In the last few days I extended the layoutframe to the place of the passing station. Pictures will follow soon.

I'm wondering if you could help me. I'm looking for another small steam engine for the G&D Sorethroat branch.

So could you tell me the length of the Bachmann Alco 2-6-0 and the older Bachmann 2-6-0?

Thank you

Markus
