The New Wow In Broadway - Act 1
About a decade ago, Broadway Limited came out with the NYC Hudson. LED lighting and sound - that could run in both DC and DCC modes. It was really something new and different when it first came out. I had to get one. The Hudson was followed by the big N&W A - I had to get one. Then came the super stylish PRR T1 and the brutishly hansome PRR J1. I happily paid the premium for these models and was as happy as can be with these purchases and my collection of "noisy" engines.
Copper Basin Railway Locomotives
I'm going to try and keep a running log of my N scale locomotive builds here for the Copper Basin Railway. The prototype runs copper ore in Eastern Arizona and will be a shortline on my new layout in the coming year. I will have 4 locomotives total to build, two high hood SD35's and two RSD 4/5's, each a matching pair.
Need a complete electric solution for this layout
Hi all,
I am an enthusiast who seems to have run into a brick wall with respect to electricals for my layout. I demarcated the sections in colours, but it seems i will end up with half a dozen controllers if I follow what I understand. The layout is essentially two main lines with a loop that crosses over and on to the inside of the oval.
I would truly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to wire this layout, including power, connections, correct isolator location et al. I am looking at a maximum of two trains running at the same time.
Rebuilding Aristo-Craft 4-4-2
A little over a year ago I got back into the model railroad hobby and slowly began unpacking my many boxes of trains and accessories. One engine I came across really intrigued me. It was broken and wouldn’t run; the valve gear hanger was damaged. The motor would run until the valve gear bound up and stalled the motor. Not wanting to do any further damage I didn’t force anything too hard.
