This post is a follow-up to my previous post: What speaker for a stock Kato SD40-2 ?

I have purchased a number of speakers and said I would post some sound samples.

Here they are!

Hi,

Just wanted to share a few pics of my recently completed RS-1 for my work train.

First is with the original Atlas handrails.

Next pics are with the new Smokey Valley handrails.

Rocks with trains!

Sun, 2014-05-11 04:50 — rgs_info

I think a few of you asked to see the rockwork w/ actual trains in the pictures.  Still prepping for the RailFun open houses next weekend, I've declared the rockwork good enough for the moment, and restored operations.  Here's a few photos...

 

 

first modual

Sun, 2014-05-11 01:27 — Baloo

Well finally started on my first module for my new N-Scale DCC layout. The layout will be made up of modules 6ft long by 33" wide, with folding legs. And when folded the high will be 12” max.

The top is made of 3mm ply with 25mm foam. I still have to mount the back board and front facer, plus a coat of paint to seal it.

Does anyone have photos of Star Transfer's Ontario Northland Highway Trucks?
I'm working on some decals for it.

N Scale Staging Yard - Track Spacing Question

Sat, 2014-05-10 08:39 — jmastersax

Hi all,

I'm ready to build two end-point staging yards for my (first) N scale shelf layout (see pic for current progress) and had a couple of questions before I start:

I need 11 staging tracks in each yard to support my operating scheme. How wide do you think I need to construct the shelves for the yard?

Justice & Hangtree?

Sat, 2014-05-10 06:52 — AndersE

Got this Oriental Limited Powerhouse 2-4-4-2 on ebay.
Lettered for the "Justice & Hangtree" I wonder if anyone can tell me anything about this model railroad?
There has been quite a lot of equipment for sale on ebay from several sellers.
I also bought a reefer and a boxcar, most of the equipment are quite nicely painted.
Many hoppers suggest an eastern location.
Sellers are from Kentucky and Ohio (Cincinnati area) if that's any clue?
