I short circuited the track that my MTH Cab Forward was standing on. I cannot get sound now. I have pressed F3 (turns sound on) and F6 (sound toggle) to no avail. No sound at all.

The unit runs okay.

What is the damage and how can I rectify this problem?

We've all seen them, we've all used them, and many still use them all around the layout, even after going DCC.  

It's the ubiquitous Brick the power pack we all know but rarely mention as anything more than a bench tester, power for a bus line, or simply a good chuck against the wall!

So just WHAT IS the Bachmann Wallwart?

Benny takes you inside...

I am looking for long memories here.

Does anyone remember the barrel paint schemes that were used by Canadian fuel suppliers in the 50's/60's?

Imperial Oil (ESSO) used Red/White/Red, I believe the B/A (now Gulf) used Green/Orange/Green or maybe it was Blue/Orange/Blue. But can't remember what Co-op, Shell and Texaco used. Also would be interested in the color codes for some of the American companies as well - although I think Standard (or is it Mobile) used Red/White/Red as well.

Good day all,

I am working on putting down on paper my list of industries and have hit a small snag on one.  My last industry going on on my layout will be a Talc Plant.  Now aside from Center-flo and covered hoppers, would anyone know what other cars would be used at a talc load facility- I am taking the product out of the plant stage and its being shipped to factories to be used in making products

Thanks inadvance...
