JMRI setup for Mac
I'm looking for advice on setting up JMRI Decoder/Panel Pro with a current (2012) MacBook Pro. I've downloaded the Decoder Pro successfully and I've bought the PR3 Xtra to use as an interface between JMRI and Mac.
My question is about what drivers to use. The instructions on JMRI for Mac setup get into a little more "computer-ease" language than I am familiar with.
Do I order an external driver? Is there one I download from the web?
Thanks,
Matt
How to Disassemble Bachmann HO Silver Series Covered Hopper?
I'm in the process of modifying my rolling stock to meet NMRA weight standards and I need to add some weight to two Bachmann HO Silver Series Covered Hoppers. I'm new to this process and can't figure out how to completely separate the car body from the base to add the weights inside. I removed the two screws underneath holding the body to the base and I can gently squeeze the body to separate it around the middle but I can't get the car to separate at either ends of the car.
Graphite rail treatment and NeoLube........
I searched the topic data base and found a lot of threads on Graphite on rails. As Neo Lube is graphite in alcohol I would have thought this an easy application. I then searched Neo Lube but found no posts using it for track, only for blackening. Am I missing something? Has anyone tried it as a conductivity enhancer?
Thanks,
Peter

Hospital Trains and Cars
The Januray 2011 article about modeling Conrail 24 inspired me to do more research about US Army Hospital cars. The prototype has the unmodified exterior window and door pattern of a hospital car built in 1952 during the Korean War.
