Save or Sell Your Extra Rolling Stock
What do you do with your extra rolling stock?
I find myself with a few extra cars than what I need to operate my paper mill layout.
My last layout was half built before I made the switch to this one. It was going to include an ethanol plant.
- As a result. I have some extra Athearn 30,000G tank cars for ethanol service, and Walthers 67' Trinity 4 bay hoppers for Corn or DDGS.
- I can use a few of the 30,000G tank cars for Tall Oil and Turpentine by-products from the paper mill, but that is about it.
Choice of locale & scales (HO vs On30) for a freelance Old-west / Early rail layout.

I have in mind scenes that i remember from old western movies (nothing in particular, just the hazy memories), in combination to scenes from theme park railroads like the Big Thunder Mountain.

The problem is: I bought the Rolling Thunder Receiver to use with a powered sub (Klipsch) that I own. The Locos will not communicate with the BLI Rolling Thunder receiver, I have gone through the CV's in the Locos, connected the BLI RX to the program track and set the recommended CV's on Pages 19-21 th

On18 Micro mine Layout...many lessons learned and many personal firsts
Sometimes it is good to step a bit out of your comfort zone, sometimes you dive right in head first. I joined a gaming group as I was enticed by their monthly friendly competitions to build terrain. This is more for miniatures and war gaming, but scenery is scenery.
