This car repair facility is in Bridgeton, North Carolina. Seems like it could be a good excuse for those of us that have more two cars with the same car number. One could be weathered and looking in need of repair,and leave the other in new condition. It would be a great place to shuttle cares of all types in and out. On a spur off the local Norfolk Southern Railroad. Also, across the Neuse River in New Bern, NS has a small and busy yard that has a wye with what looks like one leg with an 18" radius curve if it were in HO scale.

        When assembling the SJCC Short Caboose I realized I had lost the shutoff valve that goes on the line from the train line and the air reservoir. I was going to just continue construction but then I noticed this casting and I realized it was the same setup but in one piece (and it had the shutoff valve). So my question is, is this piece in there for something else or is it for this part of the caboose, and if it isn't why would you have to build one and have the other one a one piece casting.

Hello, part of my SP yard has an engine service area with an adjacent supply track for diesel fuel and sand supply. This leads to my questions... in the mid '80's what kinds of cars would typically be bringing the sand, and from what sources? John Colley, Sonoma, CA

Hi 

i have successfully installed the Heljan turntable and I am having a difficult time with connecting to my Z21. I have tried the address schedule shown in the instructions using an accessory switch in the command station and set the controller of the turntable to the track setting no luck!

any one succeeded in getting it to work?
