CP Rail's Holiday train
The Holiday season is upon us again and as usual CP rail is on the road with their Holiday train.This link will take you to a video of the activities. Of real interest is at the end of the video where there are links to great drone videos showing the build progress of the Belle Plaine Spur. Their site also shows where the train will appear and when. This is also a wonderful cause to help feed the needy.

Athearn Genesis light bulb specs
Does anyone know the specifications (particularly the diameter) for an Athearn Genesis GP9 (CN) front light bulb. Mine blew out, and I've been advised to use Miniatronics rather than the stock Athearn ones - the Athearn ones are hard to come by in the UK and very expensive as well...
I emailed Miniatronics and they were useless, bordering on rude.
Athearn didn't get back to me :(
Any advice gratefully received,

TT Scale Disconnect Log Buggies
In my blog on building the Otter Creek Falls Coal & Lumber RR I mentioned I needed to build some disconnect log buggies. I'm going to use this blog for that purpose so the layout building can be kept separate from the discussion that may arise from this subject.
I'll keep this post short so it you don't have to scroll through a lengthy begining.

Removing Bachman Trucks
How do you remove the trucks from Bachman cars. There are no screws and I am assuming that you pry them off but do not want to destroy one to find out. Thanks.
Ideas for small switching layout? (Decided on design I think)
I am looking for ideas that I could use for a small 2'x5' switching layout. I have that much space in my room and am trying to plan as much as possible to pitch the idea to my parents.

The switches available are:
scratch building rolling stock
I am working on my MMR and ready to attempt to scratch build some rolling stock. My question is, are there any web sites where I can view or download drawings (preferably free) of various types of rolling stock? I could probably just look at a commercial model and work from that but I would rather work from an original drawing if possible.
