Pacasmayo (Peru) railway update

Sun, 2015-01-04 15:20 — fcc226

Lack of snow doesn't do much for x-country skiing but sure helps with modeling time. I've been putting off lettering and numbering my FC Pacasmayo equipment but finally got down to it over the holidays. One item was autovagon (railcar) No.

Position indication of a wye

Sun, 2015-01-04 15:15 — LKandO

My primary prototype railroad used green/yellow switch indication within yard limits and green/red switch indication for switches on the main. I have adopted the same on my railroad with the additional meaning of green/red switches must always be returned to the green indication whereas green/yellow switches can be left in either position.

My question is what to do about a wye near the end of an industry spur? There is no straight or diverging route to go by. The green/yellow combination will be used since it is not on the main.

Conisting with speed tables set.

I have one engine with an MRC decoder a second engine with a Digitrax decoder. I have set up the speed tables to the point that both engines are running within 1 mph. However when I put them in a consist, the MRC still responds the same the Digitrax just sits there until I get to step 8 then it moves but very slow. Any ideas what I can look at?

Article idea; Modular layout tour

Sun, 2015-01-04 05:55 — Rustman

So here's some thinking around the edge of the box that I just came up with in the last 24 hours. What if a MRH reporter was to do a layout tour/interview but with the Run Chief of a modular layout at an exhibition show such as NTS, Amherst, Timonium or one of the other large shows?
