Hey guys, back with a research request this time. One of the recent gentlemen that's shown up to the club here in town has a 30X30 building behind the house that he and I are planning on sticking a double decker/partial mushroom design in. Prototype is Seaboard Coast Line, era is 1984 between the L&N absorption and CSX, and territory is the Birmingham to Manchester section covering Birmingham, Bessemer, Cosa Pine, Talladega, LaGrange and Manchester.

AC motors powered electric trains in the early 1900's, and the use of AC motors continued into the 1980's.  Reversing AC motors requires the mysterious electromagnetic e-unit, a frequent suspect in balky locomotives.  

About this time of year, old electric trains emerge from storage and modelers might be asked about repairs. 

My latest blog post about railfanning the Apache Railway between Holbrook and Snowflake Arizona.  Alco goodness a plenty:

This is an small post about the mexican passenger cars

More photos follow ...

In today’s episode, I have several different items to share. I updated my Digitrax DT602D Throttle to the latest firmware. Then I finished the repairs to my Kato GG1 Blackjack. And finally, I installed three decoders, but only two of the installations were successful.

I noticed an ugly curve in my trackwork the other day and made a mental note to improve it at some point. I was surprised that I would have put it in that way, but my memory isn’t very good and perhaps I was rushing it. 

Then yesterday I was looking for a photo to illustrate student activity on the model railroad and happened across one that I took last year, indicating that the track originally had a more reasonable curve that had apparently moved considerably. 

Cars I still had in storage about ready to join the fleet:
