For some reason I'm finding this hard to understand:

MOVEMENT OF DEAD LOCOMOTIVES IN TRAINS

ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-EVOLUTION IN PICS PART VI

Thu, 2017-12-21 13:09 — antnya

Since my last post I had glued hydrocal rock castings to the mountains on the newer section and colored them after having glued the tunnel portals and retaining walls in place. The next set of photos shows the progress.

This is the newest section I mentioned in a previous post with the mountains and portals in place.

Atlas Genset Decoder Killer

Thu, 2017-12-21 07:51 — rrbill2

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum and have a problem/question.  I have an HO Atlas Trainman NRE Genset locomotive that is a decoder killer!  It was running nicely for several years on my NCE layout, until one day it suddenly went into reverse by itself and stopped dead. I replaced the decoder and put it back on the layout, it ran for a bit, suddenly reversed itself and died again.  My Decoder Tester says both decoders are now DOA.  I don't see any obvious shorts in the loco wiring. Any ideas what went wrong? Thanks. -Bill

In addition to locomotive and scenic atmospheric sounds (harbor recordings) to enhance my layout, I have recently found enjoyment in playing period music and old radio broadcasts from the 1930s and 1940s. These are particularly good for solo operating sessions, while modeling, or just letting the trains run loops. 

Methods and Materials for improved realism

This blog is aimed at providing a place to discuss methods and material use for improving the realism of our models, structures rolling stock/locomotives and overall layouts.

I hope to discuss anything and everything that can improve realism. 

Making video's

So my buddy left me a canon vixia hrf 800 video camera and a tripod and a bag of stuff? Oh, and a quick start guide. Just enough to make me to turn a few more grey hairs to silver.

New Cedar color help

Wed, 2017-12-20 12:38 — Wabash Banks

I am doing a scratchbuild of a hotel that has a large porch. I would love for it to be a natural (no weathered) cedar color. Any thoughts on mixing colors to get that look?

DOMTAR Pulp and Paper Mill - Scenery

I finally got to the point of installing the photo backdrops I purchased from Trackside Scenery last year. I went with their Valley Flats series to provide a generic wooded backdrop to the paper mill.

Installing Walthers Rail with ties into walthers single track truss bridge.

Wed, 2017-12-20 11:23 — davidblackburn1

I am working on installing a Walthers single truss bridge on the layout.  I have also purchased the Walther single track and ties for the bridge.  I am looking for recommendations for gluing the track and ties to the trestle or if people have other methods of attachment they prefer to use.

I am searching for a Bachmann Spectrum first release 4-6-0 HO-scale steam locomotive. I don't care what railroad, though I prefer undecorated. If you have one that you would part with please contact me. If you know of someone or some place I could get one please contact me.

Thanks,

James Six
