Railfanning the Denver/Boulder/Fort COllins Corridor
Friends,
My professional travels will find me in Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins, CO for most of next week, flying in and out of Denver International. I'll have some spare time at different times during the trip, and so other then a return visit to Caboose Hobbies, I'm looking for railfanning opportunities.
Yard speakers used by the L&N
OK - I can't remember who posted a picture on this website of a yard with a speaker, but I found my picture of an L&N yard with old #2500 sitting right next to a speaker. The photo gives you a nice closeup of the speaker unit.
Trees! Of the Mike Rose variety in the May MRH issue
Anyone else notice the trees Mike Rose has used in his Kinter Milling article on the cover of the May MRH?
Very nice effect and a radical departure from the normal puff ball / SuperTree versions normally used for covering large background hills/mountains.
I'm very interested in his techniques.

Newbie with questions
While I am not new to MRH Magazine, I am new to these forums. I am trying to figure out how to get a message to Bruce Petarca. I purchased his article on installing sound in a Kato NW2 and I have a couple of questions for him. I was told I could reach him in the forums section of this site. Can anyone explain how I can address Bruce?
Digital Big Boy Troubles
Greetings all, just wondering if any one may be able to help me out??, I recently picked up a Riverossi Big Boy, the digital version, which came without a manual, or a programing guide. The problem is that I cant get to go, I have tried everything in dcc, but nothing happens, and in dc it moves, but there is no control over the speed. Hopeing someone out there may know something, thanks in advance,......Jim
MRC symphony 77 - any good????????
Are those MRC symphony 77 separate sound control units any good? I know it is for 1 loco/train at a time but that suits me fine, also is the diesel sound specific to a certain type of loco - or or is it "generic"
Thanks in advance, Skoti
