Middle school model RR: school's out for summer

Classes have ended, we had a nice graduation ceremony for the outgoing eighth graders headed off to high school, I’ve finished end-of-term progress reports and I can finally turn my attention to planning for next year.

Layouts and hobby shops to visit

Mon, 2015-06-22 06:56 — Jim at BSME

I'll be traveling to Burnsville, NC (about halfway between Johnson City, TN and Asheville, NC) and would like to know about any model railroad clubs/layouts that might be available to visit.  Also any hobby shops in the area that are recommended.  I'll be heading down I-81 to I-26 to get there and staying about a week, and anything in the western part of NC and eastern part of TN might be within range, say 1-1.5 hours from Burnsville.

Awile back I decided to try railquick. I downloaded and installed it. Found out my computer lacks "access". There was some talk if I remember about possibly making it work with more open source programs. Has this been done yet? I know copies of access are still available but the ones I fi d are either not compatible with my machine or waaaaay out of my budget.

Railroad Patch Collection

Fri, 2015-05-29 09:47 — trainmaster247

These used to belong to my Great Grandfather and I am pretty sure most of them were actually from the railroads. I was given these for Christmas and also have a few more in storage. If anyone else has a collection it would be cool if you posted it here. Lets see how many we can get. 

10 to start it off.

BLI Stock Car

Fri, 2015-05-29 08:01 — Tim Latham

Greetings everyone,

I’m having problems with my BLI stock car. The cows will moo once when I either place it on the layout or turn on the power but will not make another noise even when moving. I have tried selecting the decoder number (3) and even tried to get DecoderPro3 to find it, but no luck.

I have tried checking the power pickups and they are making good contact.

Anyone else had this problem or got any ideas for a fix?

Thanks in advance,

Tim
