I started operating my Wheeling Freight Terminal about a year ago and have now settled into monthly sessions. The layout represents an area under yard limits so operations tools are a little different. I posted details on handling outbound cars at my blog.

I'm looking for an individual to take a set of panoramic photos with an SLR camera, normal perspective/ distance, not zoomed in, from "Battery Wharf" in Boston, Mass., across the harbor toward East Boston.

The left side of the photo set starts at the end of the Coast Guard pier and panned to the right, to about the 3 to 4 O'clock position of the photographers right side. The Photo's will be used as a railroad backdrop for my layout.

ok so im stuck in a bind i use life-like power loc track for my layout because thats what came with the train set it was an xmas gift. any how here the problem as u can see from the picture the terminal track uses wire attached to metal clips that slide onto the terminals prongs to power said layout but the metal clips broke off and all im left with is the wires since its impossible to find power loc track is it possible for me to solder the wires onto the terminal tracks prongs so the track can be powered or am i better off trying to source out a replacement terminal track?

This is a HO scale board-by-board scratch build using plans from Pat Harriman's book "Early Wood Frame and Stone Structures". This is a build of the third plan in the book, Lucas's Cabin.
