Prototype examples of bridges on a grade?

Thu, 2014-08-07 11:35 — Mike Laley

Hi all, I am going to be installing some bridges on my  N scale layout soon and wanted to know if is acceptable to put a truss and/or girder bridge on a 2% grade, or is that just not done.

Thanks, Mike

Single Stall Engine House Part 11

Thu, 2014-08-07 08:43 — PeterAtt

Been a while since I’ve had a chance to work on the Engine house. We had visitors for a few days then went out to California to visit family and the new grandson. They treated me to a visit to the California train museum. I'll post some pics of that soon, It was great. Then another round of visitors here. So busy time it was.

When models are not available of the items you want to include on your layout, customizing is the next option. 

In this photo VIA Rail 6215, an RDC 2 moves out of the engine shop area following maintenance to resume duties on the branchline.

Programming a Genesis GP15-T

Thu, 2014-08-07 00:09 — Martin Larsen

Hi,

 

I have gotten my paws on a Genesis GP15-T, and it runs rather... good.

 

I just would very much like it to rev up before it starts moving - as is, it'll start moving for a few seconds before the prime mover even leaves idle...

 

Thankyou for your time

DCC engine showing short when placed on main line with Digitrack

Wed, 2014-08-06 19:06 — gshear

Engine running fine until hitting a rail spike that poped up in center of rails and tried to place it back in service but started the DCS50 flashing indicating short. Placed other engines on track and ran fine. What is wrong with my loco?
