Working on my new layout and trying toi figure out how to automate a the staging. I use Digitrax.

What I want to do is coming down the helix, go thru the staging yard and follow th tracks to the reverse loop then return to staging. What I am trying to figure out is how to do an automatic route thru the staging yard, thru the reverse loop and return to the staging yard and terminate. Could anybody help

This weekend I started a powering project and thought it would interest fellow modelers on this site, so I will post the steps here as I go along.

I do believe this one has been done, but my reference escapes me.  Nonetheless, the project is so simple it's easier to do it than find the missing reference!

We start with a standard 30' CMW van and use the side panels to scribe the sides and the top with a razor saw.  The top is luckily the same ten feet as the side panels, offset, so we have natural joining lines to blend in the cut lines.

Allagash 425, an Alco C425 rolled out of the paint shop last week. Former CR/PC acquired by AGR in 1979.

This is the first, and probably one of only two Allagash, Guilford-painted locomotives planned. We're in April 1984, and there were only a few locomotives from Maine Central, Boston & Maine and Delaware & Hudson painted in the new GTI colors. Following that reality, I'll only do a couple of Allagash units in the gray and orange.
