Design Plans -Hobby Paint and Tool Stand
I have had several requests for instructions/drawings for the Paint/Tool Stand I created and posted on the MRH Website the other day..
Coupler height mismatch on diesel.
I have an Athearn GP-7 whose couplers are running about 1/2 coupler height too high (maybe by 1/16"?) as measured by a Kadee coupler height gauge (on a level, straight test track). My freight cars are all measuring at the correct height, so this is proving to be a periodic problem.
Unfortunately, I see no way to adjust them --- does anyone have a workable solution?
Thanks!

Traction Tires (& driver wheels that accept them)
A number of us have steam engines that were produced a number of years ago, and may no longer be in production. Some of these locos had traction wheels.
Are there sources for replacement parts,...both tires and wheels?
Railway lines in ancient Egypt
The first railway in Africa and the Middle East was established in Egypt in 1834, where it was created under Khedive Abbas I. Some time after its inception, the political situation in Egypt deteriorated. Then Al Khedive wanted to complete the work, making a deal with a foreign company, and also asking Robert Stievens, the son of the steam - powered train creator, to help him with this huge project, which will undoubtedly be a huge outcry in the entire Middle East.
