Railroad Signs & Signals

To All: Some railroads installed car capacity signs near some tracks to indicate to trainmen the number of 40 foot cars that particular track would hold. This would be an easy project to do on your pike. Photo by Elvin Howland. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout.

I have a Rivarossi 0-8-0 but it is lettered for AT&SF. I would like to reletter it for IHB. Does anyone know of a source for the decals?

Modeling corrguated fiberglass sheets

Sat, 2016-02-06 16:40 — Mountaingoatgreg

I have working on a few structures for my Madras Switching module and I noticed that both of them had a similar element, fiberglass panels. I did a little research and discovered that Fiberglass had been around since the 1930's and was used in commercial products starting in the 1940's. I cannot find a specific date of when Corrugated Fiberglass sheets began to be used in construction, but I would think sometime post was to mid 50's? Since I model 1968 I figured I would be safe modeling these unique panels on my structures.

Under the table sound?

Sat, 2016-02-06 11:36 — ctxmf74

  Hi All, I'm putting a decoder in my TT scale loco and was thinking about consisting it with a stationary sound decoder so I could add a sub woofer and speakers under the table. The loco is so small I don't want to add an onboard decoder right now but it seems like it should be pretty easy to rig up a spare soundtraxx under the table?   Does anyone know how I should connect one? Would the decoder need some kind of load on the motor wires to work correctly? How should I connect the decoder sound output to a sub woofer/speaker setup?
