Clamps
Hey guys,
I found this http://youtu.be/aGY2XYrVFYU on Railroad Line Forums. Interesting and useful stuff. You can buy it at Model Train Stuff for $19.99. http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/Rite-Way-Magnetic-Clamp-p/rwy-10090.htm

Has anyone else had issues with Califorinia Roadbed recently?
Has anyone else encountered long delays receiving product from California Roadbed??? I placed my order November 5th, and my credit card was charged November 20th, but I still don't have anything to show for it. I have emailed Richard at least once and spoke with him on the phone right before Christmas. I know that he is having health issues, but it really is bad practice to charge me for the product without shipping it.
Thanks,
Ryan
Question Answered, I Think
To All: Thanks to Dennis Austin for the answer to the question as to the railroad that had the slogan, "The North West Route". I do not believe it was the C&NW, but Dennis' answer the Kansas City, Wyandotte & Northwestern RR.
Do All agree? Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis rail Group Layout
Nice Problem To Have
Somewhat of a newbie here.
I spent the last 4 months designing my layout in Anyrail. I've started my benchwork.
My original train room was only 10' X 12', so I designed a 4' X 8' layout. Kinda tight, but enough room to walk around 3 sides.
The problem:
BILL SCOBIE'S RGS: SWITCHING PLACERVILLE
Bill Scobie takes the lead locomotive while Pierre Lamontagne operates the helper on the freight from Ridgeway to Rico. The switching operations in Placerville are interesting as the two Sn3 steam locomotives operate both ends of the yard. Interesting moves were made to situate the lifts in the proper part of the train. There are facing and trailing moves for drop offs at industries and local moves as well. The long freight had to clear the main for passenger train traffic. Always a joy to see Bill's Sn3 Rio Grande Southern put through its paces.
Why Masonite
Why is Masonite used for the backdrop? I purchased a few sheets and installed a couple around my peninsulas but I'm thinking that it is a mistake. It would seem to me that sheetrock will work just as well and I can hide the seams easier/better using joint compound. Just looking for some input before I go and screw it all up.
Thanks,
Rob Teed
