RR-CirKits Examples

Mon, 2014-06-23 16:37 — dtsmith

I'd like to see a series of articles directed toward using some of these products reviewed in the magazine, in particular, RR-CirKits. I am planning to use DCC on a new layout and want to see what I can do with all this hardware. Is there a book or article online which outlines and explains all the terminology?

Sanity returns to the BNML (prototype)

Mon, 2014-06-23 16:03 — Bill Brillinger

Well, since the BNML was invaded by the forces from the south, traffic has been haywire.

Daily trains were reaching lengths of 200+ cars. Nuts!, I KNOW!

How do you save a post as a "draft" so it can be added to over time and then posted?

Mon, 2014-06-23 11:16 — rickwade

I believe that I saw on a screen somewhere a "Save As A Draft" option instead of "Submit" but I can't seem to find it.  I'd like to use the draft feature to work on a post as I complete portions of a project and then "Submit" when ready.  Does anyone know if / how to do that?  Thanks!

Ops session check list & Mon night mail

Mon, 2014-06-23 03:34 — Ken Kaef

After I forgot to turn the waybills for a train at an operating session on the Kanunda and Emu Flat Railway I decided that I needed a check list to make sure that I did not overlook anything again. Having every detail attended to before makes for an enjoyable session.

During the afternoon prior to an evening operating session after I clean the track then run every train on the layout and run a train through every turnout on the layout. Doing that and checking off the check list makes sure that in inspect the whole layout.

Morenci Southern Railroad in HOn3

Sun, 2014-06-22 19:33 — dkaustin

I was following the turntable lip discussion and was interested in the turntable B&W photo at Poland, AZ.  Somehow I stumbled upon the Morenci Southern Railroad.  Then I got distracted reading about the line and the nickname "The Old Corkscrew."  From the description of the line, corkscrew fits.  Does anyone have a source for a clear map of the right of way? It seems to be a very interesting subject.  I would like to see where the line went.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Accumate in N scale!

Sun, 2014-06-22 12:06 — SP_CFNR
Hi folks, 
Contrary to popular opinion, I am getting rid of all my Microtrains couplers on my rolling stock and instead standardise on Accumates and McHenry as secondary choice (oh that pesky spring but a good looking coupler).
I detest the slinky effect, even in very short trains and find them generally unreliable and overengineered. 
 
I know a lot of folks are ditching the Accumate in favour of the MTL's so if anyone got any lying around, happy to take them off your hands!
 

Freelance Layout Progress

Have been having a lot of fun building this layout, is completely freelance which allows plenty of room for creativity and allowing me to just build for the art of it.
