The railroad I’ve been building with kids in my middle school classroom is sectional - designed to dismantle and store every summer because my room gets used by a summer camp program and then again by a Maker Fair

I was only trying to look up the footprint for one of Walther's coaling towers,...and ran across this site and image as a result of 'images'

Suitable Sound Files for Diesel Boxcab

DCC - Electrical

I'm planning to add sound to my remotorized MDC boxcab. I'd like to add a loksound decoder and was curious to know which sound file would be the closest to an actual AGEIR boxcab. For the record, the specific locomotives I'm replicating are Erie 19 and 20 boxcabs used at Harlem 149th Street Station.

Best regards!

Need Help with Athearn Genesis Beacon/ Strobe Light

First let me admit that when it comes to the electrical side of this hobby I am a fish out of water. So I have a pretty basic question regarding Athearn Genesis strobe lights.

Hey everybody, this isn't my usual post but wanted you to know this. 4014 is coming to Boone Iowa on the 15th of June. I've made plans to go up with a couple of friends of mine. However, if you're in any of the following locations, feel free to come on up and say "hi". Would be great to meet some of you, especially if you're also one of my Youtube subscribers.

Cleaning an airbrush filter

Fri, 2019-06-07 06:01 — RMeyer

I have been using a wire mesh filter for some time on my airbrush. I use acrylic paints for my trains. Even though I try to clean the filter after each use it has gradually clogged up. I have soaked it in airbrush cleaner for acrylics but it is still difficult to get rid of the gummy residue. What is the best way to clean the filter or do I need to replace it?

Cleaning wheels on Atlas Engines

I purchased several Atlas GP-38s when they came out with the high short hood Southern/NS units back in the mid 2000s. These are the vintage that will run on DC or DCC depending on the jumper setting.
