Ever try to figure out colors from an old B&W photo?  The information, in most cases, simply isn't there.  What is there, however, is a collection of clues - the RR only used this color in this scheme, etc.  That's what I'm trying to do here.

Look at this photo:

I'll never learn.  I should have known better than to assume I would not need a spare motor, just because it's too small.  I should have taken better care of it.  I didn't.

Here you have a video of Tommy Hood's Canadian Northern.  A freelance HO Scale railroad with hand layed track and many scratch built bridges.

I want to model a Car float.  I've looked, in the wrong places, for track measurements.  I need the track measurements from where the float meets up with the apron.  I would think this should be a constant from float to float so that float could be used at various aprons.  If I don't find this measurement I'll just start making my floats with my own measurements.  Thanks for any help.
