East Coast Circuits Grade Crossing Flasher

Tue, 2019-04-30 08:24 — Paul Coats

In getting my layout up and running, completing the last major scenery work, I was ready to invite other operators in to see and operate the layout.  I still have some details to add, but one thing I needed was to put the grade crossing signals into operation.  I did not have the signals operational at the recording of this video.

the pain. (NWSL closing)

Tue, 2019-04-30 00:22 — packnrat

well from what i have heard and read, NWSL is shutting down. 

sad day for everyone. including the owner as his wife has passed away.

i pray some company does pick this up and keep it going, as i am not one who will make them rich, but i do have a number of re-power projects coming on line over the next couple - three years, where i will need NWSL products.

hay kadee hear this. one great company buy's another.

This came up in my feed and I thought it's interesting to see a glimpse of production being done in EU (though reading the comments some items are made in Viet Nam apparently).

 

MINIWORLD ROTTERDAM LAYOUT VISIT

Sun, 2019-04-28 09:25 — filip timmerman

A trip to The Netherlands visiting the spring flower expo's (read Tulips) and a stop at Mini World in Rotterdam.

A most enjoyable layout. Well build and operated. Lots of details and a typical 'Holland' scene.

Enjoy the photo's.

Train speeds and views.

Sun, 2019-04-28 00:45 — amsnick

On a German ICE train between Hamburg and Munich I was impressed with the speed we were going on the ground.  I know there are faster trains.  This is by far the fastest I have ever ridden.  The ride was very smooth and quiet as well.  Here are a few pictures from the trip.

172 mph!!!

Displaying my passenger train

Sat, 2019-04-27 22:09 — Deemiorgos

My branch line terminus layout can only fit a short passenger train. So I got out all my cars and put them on the inglenook to display them and to photograph them.

I have no idea if the sleeper car and coaches are in the proper positions.

Help establishing value of live steam equpment

Sat, 2019-04-27 13:06 — Wabash Banks

I am not looking to sell anything on here but I do need some advice on where to get good valuations on some 1:20 live steam. A friend's widow is looking to sell some of his collection. I am trying to help her get honest prices for the stuff. I have no idea where to really look to find the value's of these things. Anyone have any suggestions?
