One way to organize rolling stock

Sun, 2013-03-10 08:07 — rickwade

As I've been unpacking from my move to Florida it became important to have a way to organize and find my rolling stock for two reasons: 1.) So I can sell certain items; and 2.) So I can locate specific cars to run on our club layout.  I started by using an Ipad(tm) app to organize the cars and put them on shelves; however, I realized that I needed to remove these shelves in order to build my layout.  What to do?  I decided to using six drawer plastic rolling carts.

Here's what the cart looks like:

Cool Video-- Rebuild old GP9 into a new Genset Loco

I just found a very cool video on YouTube about rebuilding an old GP9 into a new Genset locomotive. The video is about an hour long.

New column Joe should do

Fri, 2013-03-08 20:34 — Ironhand_13

"A Day In The Life"-

Joe do you ever run trains anymore or are things just too dang busy?  Both the MRH and this forum seen to be growing in a good way- Do you maybe just have the time to run ops one day a week?  A month?  Maybe just an hour before nite-nite time?  It'd be interesting to know the insider-view of Joe Fugate, maybe a week's worth.

Inquiring minds wanna know!

MRH Feb. issue using Feedly

Wed, 2013-03-06 16:16 — MRRSparky

I tried reading this issue using the supplied RSS link in Feedly.  Big improvement!  I use a Kindle Fire however, so iTunes is not available as a download site.  Is there an alternative site?

The post asking about the RDC's led me to HOSeeker and I decided to see what Athearn had available back in the 1950's.

Here's Athearn's total product line for 1957 (Page 1 has the train sets made up of these items).

So many choices. Nothing like today.

DCC Article Suggestion

Sun, 2013-03-03 08:20 — Will_Annand

Being an N Scaler and lover of early steam, I have both the atlas 2-6-0 and new 4-4-0 locomotives. As well as several Bachmann 4-4-0 locomotives. Also being a fellow who wants to run his trains and not his track, I have the MRC Prodigy Advance DCC system.

My suggestion for an article should go to Bruce Petrarca.

Bruce, what are the chances of MRH giving us a chart of available mobile decoders, giving us physical sizes, functionality, possibly suggested pricing, and whatever else you can think of. LOL

Article submissions

Maybe I hit a busy time of year... Shortly after Christmas I sent in an inquiry for an article that I'm working on. I received the auto reply indicating that within a few weeks I'd receive a reply. After a month I sent another inquiry. Still no reply. 

 

Thanks

Archival Article: Would be great to read.

The articles pertaining to painting track and turnouts a couple guys said to view the article "Parallel Lines" by Tim Warris in the 3rd quarter of 2009, Q3V2.pdf.  I noticed this back issue isn't available anymore.  Would you have this article in you files somewhere or is everything gone for the first three issues?  Thank you.
