Diesels Come to the D&RGW in Nn3

Greetings,

A while back I picked up a Z Shorty chassis to see what all the talk was about. I really didn’t intend to do much with it but I decided to clean out some of the junk from the scrap bin and build a diminutive boxcab diesel from brass and styrene.

Anyone remember life before the Internet?

I found these today while cleaning out a desk drawer. I can still remember picking the items out of an ad in Model Railroader magazine. There were no photos so I just had to buy and hope that the title somewhat matched my mental image of the buildings. Once I had settled on what to buy I would write down the items on a piece of paper, total everything, fill out a check, address and stamp an envelope and send it off. Each day after a few weeks would involve anxiously opening the mail box to see if the package had arrived.

Sounds different - changing the tone of a piezo buzzer?

Good evening all,

I have some PSX circuit breaker boards with the optional piezo buzzer added. This buzzer helps notify that there is a short detected by the PSX board.

A friend of mine mentioned that he can't hear that audio range any longer and wondered if there was a way to either use a buzzer with a different pitch or change the pitch of the recommended buzzer.

Any insight into this idea/problem would be gratefully accepted!

Thanks in advance,

Tim Moran Akron, OH

"Enterprise-Level" Model Railroading

I've created this topic to move conversation on "enterprise-level" model railroading out of bobmorning's thread on the UWT-50 throttle, which a number of us have effectively hijacked.

In search of the "best" pre/post decal matte/gloss coat

I've been struggling dealing with MicroMark raised surface decals and silvering. As a result, I came up with a test rig to test various matte & gloss coats that are available in an effort to find the ones that have the least amount of silvering.

More details about what I used and the results as they come forth.

N scale Twin Whistle A & W root Beer Stand

Howdy all, I have an N Scale A&W Root Beer Stand by Twin Whistle that I'll be starting on next week and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this kit. Any tips or things to look for ahead of building. One particular thing I'm looking into is adding LEDs .

Thanks
