Good evening to all,

A quick question for all.

What make and style airhorn was used on the Penn Central RSD-15s?

Thanks

I'm building a double deck layout in its own handi-house shed  It has a large wide door at the entrance that needs a couple of 'entrance bridges' that can be moved aside relatively quickly. Because of the large width of the opening I am thinking it should be a 'split bridge' type like the bascule type where both of the two sides would swing up.

Here are two photos.  The first is a photo of the White River Junction coal tower -- in the 50's at an age of 30 or so. The second is my attempt at weathering my model of that tower.  The challenge here is two fold-  one is to get the right overall color -- which is a grimy brownish grey.  The second challenge is creating the illusion of the lines in the concrete which were left when the concrete forms were  removed.  I tried all sorts of things to create a sense of the concrete form lines - without much success (light pencil lines, brush strokes)

Having a problem with Digitrax taking an exceedingly long time in processing commands such as reversing a loco, sounding horn, responding to throttle. Something was happening on a friends layout and he now has guests during op sessions turn off cell phones. This seems to have helped measurably. Also, my wi-fi router is about 8 to 10 feet from the Digitrax electronics (DCS 100 & DB 150)

We will be conducting testing to see if we can replicate same situation and then turn off phones to see if things improve. We'll also do the same with wi-fi.
