Suggestions for modeling an Amtrak 50' "short" baggage car

Sat, 2018-09-15 18:05 — SparkVark

All,

I'm interested in making a model of an Amtrak 1300-series baggage car, which were a little unusual because they were converted from US Army kitchen cars and only 50' long. Here's an example:

After poking around I could only find mention of one company ever making a kit (Train Station Products), but it seems to be long out of production and not common on the used market.

 Hey guys just got a quick question. I run DC on my layout now but I would also like to run DCC. Can I do this? If so what kind of equipment will I need and how do I wire it into my DC layout?

Just installed a 21 pin Loksound Select into this SD60E with an ESU speaker. Easiest installation ever - literally plug and play. Sounds great too. Just thought I'd share.

Here is a layout plan I hope to start building soon, but I have some questions I'd like to ask as to the construction, as well as suggestions on the plan itself. I'll ask these in a separate post.

Mini Panel replacements

Fri, 2018-09-14 04:16 — taholmes160

Good Morning everyone:

I am in the middle of reading a bunch of articles about using servos to control my turnouts, and I am wondering if there is a way to use arduinos or other things to replace the mini panel -- the mini panel looks great, but I know its kinda expensive, and I'm gonna need several.  So I am looking for ideas.

Thanks a whole bunch

TIM
