Good morning all,

Last week, a group of modular minded modelers gathered for a 3 day "invitational" event in SE Indiana. Pictures and video link to follow.

Thanks in advance for looking!

Bingham Canyons New Dry Fork Shops.

Prototype information

Bingham Canyons New Dry Fork Shops buried now under tons of waste material.

During my transition from DC to DCC I have started a collection of mobile decoders. There was no actual plan for this, it sort of took on a life of its own as I tried decoders that failed to deliver the performance I'd hoped for so I put them aside.

I've definitely learned the CV programming now, and can get great performance out of certain decoders but not others in a given locomotive; so I don't think it's down to operator error.

Torpedo Bottle Car Unloading?

Thu, 2021-03-18 17:53 — railandsail

Can someone show me an image of the unloading of a torpedo bottle car at an electric arc furnace?

I've looked at MANY images and not found one. I inquired on the steel mill forums and was told that those bottle cars rotated over to unload their contents, but I have found it difficult to find images.

Did Walthers suppose that those bottle cars could be utilized with their electric arc furnace model?

O Scale, 2 rail, Steel Mill Build

Thu, 2021-03-18 16:37 — railandsail

O scale, 2 rail guys don't get as much recognition on this forum as HO scale.
And O-scale doesn't have aproduction kit for a steel mill that I know of?

I was searching for a related steel subject, and ran across this construction sequence. This fellow does a pretty nice job.

Pine tree bark advice

Wed, 2021-03-17 15:50 — nelsonmay

I am on a facebook group and this guy really models some nice trees. While I am eating on his reply, I was hoping someone else knew how to do this. I can't figure out how he gets his bark on the pine trees?

Acrylic over enamel? I can't tell if it is paint or texture. I wan't to know because my 2-4mm static grass is dropping in the post on Friday and I want to experiment this weekend.

Cheers!
