I had two diesels recently converted to DCC w/sound. That part works. When I got them back from the shop that did the installation, several parts were missing and/or broken. Of course, we went through the "dance" of them being already in that condition and "it was not my fault." With a partial refund, I declared it a "wash" and opted to just replace the parts myself. There's the rub.

Hello MRHers

I just finished up the newest addition to the Algonquin fleet.  An Atlas RS3.

More details on my personal blog.  Thanks for looking.

After some delays and time away from the workbench dealing with 1:1 stuff, the twins are finally completed and have begun revenue service on the Estrella & Sonora Grande RR:

Here are Number 3 (the 'Rattler') and #4 (the 'Sidewinder') pausing side by side in Apache Wells. 

More photos to come in a follow up post, to avoid wrapping the whole group with every page of this blog.

That's going to leave a mark. The Atlantic and Great Western teams up with the Wisconsin State Police to film and Operation Lifesaver commercial. Every 90 seconds a car and train collide.

When the overhead door is open on the Palmer building the interior will be revealed so I added some detail to make the view more pleasing.  This is a work in process but I wanted to share what I've done thus far.

Here's the view from a distance:

Has anyone replaced the short custom couplers of Kato Japanese EMU units with MT ones?

Research suggests that the MT model MT-7 / 001 30 012 / 1128 couplers may be suitable.  Can anyone confirm this for me please?

I like tea. (I am just not a coffee person) 

Now, my tea enjoyment can go beyond the cup...... and onto my model railroad! (Part 3 of my "Low (or No) Cost Ways to Enjoy Your Hobby" series)

This will be our new thread that will chronicle our Signaling Planning & Installation.  It may be a little out of step at the start but that's because the plan is still fluid at the moment as to what the end outcome will be.

Hope you all enjoy it and get something out of it.

Last weekend I visited a modular layout of a FREMO model railroader group in southern Germany. It was really great by dimensions and by quality!
