Hi all!

Reference an Individual (specific) Posting on this forum?

How does one make a reference (link) to a specific individual posting on this forum?
I've had trouble with this every since I joined this forum. There are no individual numbers associated with a posting, and I can't seem to figure out a way to make a specific link to an individual posting

In real life if this happened, how would this diesel be moved out of the way? How could another loco get to the cars that are already spotted to be removed? And I'm ot willing to cheat by using an 0-5-0 ; )

Campbell Model HO scale Covered Bridge Kit

Tue, 2017-12-12 16:34 — John E

Does anyone have detailed tips, schematics, plans or photos to share that would be helpful in constructing the Campbell Covered Bridge kit?? I have an old kit probably from the 70's and the instructions are lacking schematics.

Thanks for the help.

ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-EVOLUTION IN PICS PART V

Tue, 2017-12-12 15:20 — antnya

Now that I have gone over most of the build for my layout up to present day (I will take pics of the newest table with the mountains and rock faces in place and post them soon), I thought I would show some of the details I have been working on like tunnel portals, bridges and structures. Since I didn't take any before pics of the portals or bridges before I painted/weathered them, I found pics online of what they look like out of the box.

JMRI on a Raspberry Pi

Tue, 2017-12-12 13:01 — GregW66

I have finalized my DCC system. As previously mentioned I have built a DCC++ Base Station per the instructions found on the DCC++ YouTube site and other resources on the web. On my blog I have lots of links and how to’s for that. To run DCC++ you either have to use the software that was developed for it or use JMRI. I chose JMRI. Instead of running it on my lap top I wanted a dedicated computer for it so I invested in a Raspberry Pi. A Pi, is a very small credit card sized board designed to run a version of Linux. No worries, no Linux knowledge is needed.
