Hello everyone, this is my first post to the forums.  I figured what way better than to share some drawings I found a few days ago while researching.  They are Union Pacific Engineering drawings of just about anything to do with trackwork, like roadbed, track design, turnouts, road crossings, switch stands, etc.  They are all PDF files, and just click on the title of the section to see them.  These were adopted in 1998 and were revised in 2004.  Hope somebody else can use them as well.

I have heard about a product called "Jiffy Railer" being sold out of Arizona. The company is not a registered business in Arizona, I have not been able to find a website, person's name, e-mail, or phone number associated with this product. Does anyone have any experience with this company and product or is it just vapor ware?

Thanks

Steve Raiford

Bought two Atlas #571 crossovers. On opening the package there was a little envelop with four small metal bits, same for the second crossover. Does anyone have a clue as to what these are for? The Atlas packaging and website are silent on this topic. They are way too small to be joiners - and there were regular joiner strips in the box. This is HO code 83, by the way.

Thanks.
