Has any one heard when to expect the Atlas S2 and S4 DCC sound to hit the shelves...(I see on line "taking back orders"  but zero word from manufacturer)

Build a Model Railroad in 10 Minutes a Day

This year I’ve decided to devote 10 minutes a day to working on model railroading. My first post was on FaceBook Live so not sure how to share that here but the next three are online there as well as on YouTube.

Prototype Photographs 2021

 

Hi All,

Went to see some trains today with my camera.  Found a couple scenes that you might enjoy looking at. 

In the spirit of the holidays I'd like to share them with You.

Hope the ensuing year is Happy, Healthful and Prosperous for you.

I’m looking forward to see and enjoy your prototype photos too again this year.  

I truly enjoyed the last couple years photos.  Thanks!

I just saw that Piko announced a brand new diesel locomotive that might be of North American interest: the Whitcomb Locomotive Works type 65-DE-19A diesel locomotive.

Diesel Locomotive Truck Designs (hinged 3 axle design)

A recent posting on this site brought this subject of diesel locomotive truck design back to my mind. I went looking in the search box, but was not coming up with some of the info I was seeking,...perhaps I just entered the wrong search words?

Decoder, light, speaker and stay alive installation video.

This is a very comprehensive video on a DCC upgrade by a very competent installer.  It should serve as a reference to people wondering what it would take to do a full installation as well as parts of an installation or upgrade or a good compare for the experienced.  Larry Linger is a leader in the group of people who present DCC installations and upgrades on YouTube.  I hope you learn and enjoy this and other of his presentations!
