Portable O-scale Layout (aka "Chicago Fork")

Fri, 2014-05-23 00:00 — Dave O

I have recently purchased an Atlas O-scale SW9 (2-rail); which (assuming it survives the overseas shipment) should be at my door in 3 weeks or so.  O-scale has always been my scale of choice; however, until recently obtaining equipment has been a show stopper.  Now that it seems I have the motive power on its way, it is time to plan a little layout for it.

More Lost Trains - CP, BNSF, and UP motive power on the BNML, CN Letellier Sub

Thu, 2014-05-22 13:56 — Bill Brillinger

I found an interesting sight today on the Letellier sub...

CP 8831 leading BNSF 9016 and UP 5575 into the inland terminal at Letellier MB with a BNSF Unit Grain train.

They dropped the train in Letellier and continued light, northbound.

Here they are just heading into Winnipeg. (The CP unit is in the lead.)

Hi All,

Could someone point me in the direction of a layout plan, preferably in HO for a double deck or upper deck that does not have a helix .I have tried searching here with no success.

Thank you in advance.

I ran across this on YouTube.  It is a interesting story about the  caboose and the last state that required it by law.

 

 

Single & Double Sheath Boxcar

Tue, 2014-05-20 10:36 — BruceNscale

Does anyone know if there was a "phase out" date for wooden sheathed boxcars?

I found the build dates, but don't know how long the cars were in service.

I'm modeling 1955 and would like my rolling stock to be appropriate.
