Wiring and power for simple ovals with crossover
I have a n-scale oval on the console underneath my TV. The curves are 282mm radius. I want to put another oval inside this one with 249mm radius, and connect the two with a double crossover. I have DC power. Should I power each oval with separate power sources to provide separate speed control? If so, how do I wire the crossover?

EMD E7/8B Trucks
Is there anybody out there who knows how to replacement power trucks for a Proto 2000 E7B locomotive
I have a Part # 584818 that I found in the box. But I think that's for a unpowered E7B. I have contacted Walther's and I have not gotten a satisfactory response yet. Is the any source for these trucks?
Twin motored Athearn Alco PA chassi
After those steamers got converted I had 3 12 volt motors. What to do? Why mount each one on a truck so they swivel with the truck.
I think I found my next project.

Radio Controled 2-6-0 Steam Engine in HO gauge
Just finished up the third steamer with radio control. Using voltage from the track to power both the receiver and the motor I can control all three with one transmitter or individually with 3 transmitters.
The engine on the right was the first to be converted to a 6 volt motor. The receiver works on 3-6 volts. This one needs the board redone so all components will fit inside the tender shell. The one on the left I added a plug so I won't have to un-solder the wires if I need to remove the board.
GREAT WESTERN: INTERVIEW WITH BRIAN EARL
I had the opportunity to visit with Brian Earl and talk to him about his N Scale Great Western Railroad. It is a freelance railroad and he gives us a great tour of the train room pointing out highlights and providings unique insight about operating in a small scale.

Here are a couple of pics of the types of grain bins you would see on a farm, not necessarily at a Coop or any thing like that
