MS Access Waybill Generator

Greetings and happy holidays.

Over the last couple years I have been toying with the concept of creating 1/4 sized waybills that could be used as, instead of, car cards.  After several fits and starts I have completed a modification of my existing MS Access car card and waybill generator to become a waybill generator.

2013 Goals for your Railroad Modeling?

In December 2011 Rick Wade started a thread on goals for 2012. http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/6579

I thought it would be interesting to review my goals and see what I accomplished toward those goals. And also look at what I had done that wasn't included in my goals.

Grassmaster clumping grass problem

Happy New Year. I have been using the Grass master for a couple of years. Have a problem with 4 & 6 mm grass clumping in the hopper,and not coming out that easily. After putting down the glue and attaching the nail, I have to really tap a lot on the hopper for the grass to come out. Inside the hopper the grass conforms to the hopper shape, and also little balls of grass. I'm using Silfor. I do not have this problem with 2mm. That comes out like it should.

Any help would be welcomed

Thanks in advanced

Mike

Question on Broadway Limited SW7 With and Without Sound Units

I prefer purchasing locomotives with sound already installed because it means there is space already created in the design of the unit for speakers and sound. However, I only intend on using Tsunami decoders in my locomotives and therefore intend on replacing any unit that does not have them. 

Does anyone know if the Broadway Limited SW7 units are the same in terms of the space underneath the locomotive shell if it is the same between the with sound and without sound units?  Is it the same actual unit other than not having a sound decoder?

BB 40' boxcars

I recently on impulse picked up a pair of Athearn blue box 40' boxcars and am now wondering what to do with them.

I've thought about knocking out a few window/door openings and making them excursion cars but am curious about any other uses a modern railway would have with a pair of 40' boxcars (possibly modified)

Alcohol residue

I recently cleaned the wheels on my Athearn Challenger using 70% alcohol. Unfortunately this left a white residue on the engine. Since washing the area with water didn't remove the residue is there some other way to remove it other than repainting the engine?
