Locos - Rolling stock (general)

Here are some pictures of my latest rolling stock project. (Not the loco) I am going to enter it in my annual local NMRA/NCR/Division 6 Fall Show this Sunday. This show is something we do every year on the first Sunday after Thanksgiving.

It is open to the public and is a Show & Tell type of show. There are no sales just show the public what Model RR is all about.

Inglenookie

There is a industrial switching area at the southern edge of Gilroy, CA just as you cross the UP mainline on US 101 northbound. I'd seen switching taking place before when passing by on 101. Curious, today I decided to take a look at aerial views. I was kind of blown away to discover that the industrial trackage actually forms an Inglenook. It's a large Inglenook covering considerable acreage, but it's an Inglenook nonetheless (schematically anyway) even if it's a bit more convoluted than your standard modeler's Inglenook.

Athearn SD40

Hopefully someone out there has installed LEDs in the Athearn SD40s.

I have two that I'm almost finished detailing. While waiting for the dullcote to dry I started to install LEDs for the lights. The decoder I'm using is a TCS T1 as shown on the TCS website. The 1.5 volt lights worked properly prior to removal, but I can't get the LEDs to work. From everything I can understand, there are resistors on the Athearn board, so resistors on the LED installation aren't necessary. The LEDs are 3mm and work fine when tested.

New construction vehicles?

Is anyone familiar with the new excavators being offered by Promotex?

Are they actually HO?

Pembroke II: North Section Trackwork Complete

Trackwork

The track on the North Section is finally complete. The elapsed time was longer than the south section, but that was due to real life getting in the way of the trains. Overall, I think the effort was less for this section than the first. Compared to the south section, I made a couple of minor changes in approach.

Happy Holidays and welcome to my Illinois Division of the St. Louis Southwestern. The layout is based in the late 60’s to early 70’s and runs from the fictional town of Marysville, IL (Paris, IL) southwest to E. St. Louis.

This is a photo of Bud Yard which is the main yard that is located in Marysville. This yard servers all the local industries and is an interchange point with the PC.
