Nevada city fire station

Hi all!
I´m starting a new project...

A really old kit that I bought a while back.
It´s going to be fun to build a really old craftsman kit. Printed cardboard, some stripwood and a lot of instructions....

The 3D Printed N-Scale Union Station Project Continues - Parts 2 & 2A

 

 

After a lot of measurements and a couple of test prints, the center section of the main station building was glued together and test fit to the lower level and then to the passenger waiting room building.  This way, the waiting room structure can be taken off of the layout separately from the main station building. The video above shows what that looks like.

Berlin 1929 - The Corner House On The Bülowstrasse.

I've been in bed for a couple of weeks, and am only just coming round, so apologies for not having posted for a while. A few things have been happening, and I am keeping a photo record for the point at which it's worth sharing.

What I did want was a corner house for the Bülowstrasse buildings and the stadtbahn that passes through them. This is how it looked in 1905; the photo is from Wikipedia (German).

West Haven Industrial Rwy. : Throwing Points

I've been spending a lot of time over at MERG (Model Electronics Railway Group) and they have some fantastic ideas on controlling turnouts or as they call them "points". I had initially decided to use Caboose Industries Ground Throws and Tam Valley frog juicers. I do know I want juiced frogs. 

Making drawbars to connect F units

I'm thinking of connecting an F3A and a B unit using a drawbar.  These units always run together.  I suspect others have done this, and am interested to see how.  What material is used for the drawbar? Do you use the standard coupler pockets? Do you permanently attach to both locos, or just to the lead unit and use a pin on the trailing unit the way steam locos connect to their tenders?

Any info will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Hello,

All Metal Cars and Short Circuits

I am getting back into the hobby after 40 years away.   I am currently running DC because I have no motive power that is DCC compatible but plan on converting as soon as the budget will allow.  I am working to get my old rolling stock back in operating condition and among the survivors from that era are three Ulrich all metal cars:  a gondola, a flat and a hopper.  I have noticed that when any of these three cars derail they cause a short.  Are all metal cars really compatible with DCC?
