Kadee #5 vs. #148 couplers

Fri, 2016-04-01 11:09 — hoffertg

I have been using Kadee #5 couplers on my cars for years. Since then, Kadee has introduced the #148 whisper coupler to their line of couplers. My question is, are the #148 couplers more reliable, and are they more prototypical then the #5 couplers. Any advice or experience with them would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what MV lense is correct for Stewart F-7A units with single headlights and AS-16 units?

Thanks,

D&RGW narrow gauge livestock cars use in mining

Fri, 2016-04-01 08:55 — dkramer

For some time I have been bitten by the narrow gauge bug, and having visited both Durango & Silverton and Cumbres & Toltec I have a distinct D&RGW bias. I am well aware of the use of livestock cars relocating cattle to higher elevations to graze in the summer, but I wonder if by the time the railroads started serving the mines pack animals were still used, and if they were used did the D&RGW delivered them using livestock cars?

A Simple Servo Controller

Fri, 2016-04-01 07:01 — DBodnar

Peter has done a super job of describing how he has used servos to throw switches on his layout - see:

http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/25958

I would like to suggest an alternative method of using controlling the servos.

I have come up with a simple modification to an eBay servo tester that turns it into a unit that is well suited to operating switches and comes at a very attractive price (I paid $1.24 for the controller including shipping to the US)

V/Line 3000Hp hood unit C507 in the hole at Bridgewater with an Adelaide-bound superfreighter. This loco is the pride of the fleet, having been fitted out with step and bogie lights, and a LokSound4.0 decoder.
