Locomotive Sounds
Hi I am looking for a source of MP3´s of Locomotive train sounds of generic steam and diesel locomotives along with just train sounds to play from an iPhone when running a layout due to the fact that I don´t have DCC if anyone knows where I can find some that would be great.
Middle school model RR: we begin operations
We made remarkable progress installing feeder wires before the kids (and teachers) had a week off for Spring Break. I was disappointed that we didn’t quite finish as I had hoped that the break would be the pause before we started operating. So I snuck in during the break and finished up the feeders.
My vintage Louis Marx given to me as a child
As a child in the early fifties I got my Louis Marx G scale train set. It has set unused most of my life, following wherever my military career took me, then sat in my closet for the last 23 years. A discussion about Hal Joyce, TT scale, and his starting HP products in my small hometown got me to pull out my train set.
I recieved something very interesting from a friend the other day....
... it is 5 pieces of very old flex track. I am pretty sure this stuff is from the 60's or older. The ties are made something like a card board or the like. They are brass rail, and very interesting. Would this be something a model railroad museum would want?
I don't thought maybe the forum might.

The Schnabel Car
Well I rarely spell the name of this car right so I will try not to but below are some images and videos of it being one of my favorites I wanted to show it to some people though I am sure mostt people have already heard of it.
Joint Bars in O and S scale? other scales?
Our HO Scale Joint Bars have been very popular and I have gotten requests to
produce the bars in other scales.
We already offer an N scale set, and I'm working on a channel style version too.
In the mean time, I'd like to know what other scales people are interested in having joint bars for?
O Scale? S Scale? Other scales?
And more importantly, WHAT CODE of RAIL should these fit for each scale?
Model Power is alive
Just got off the Model Rectifier site.

They now have a tab for Model Power. It looks like they will carry most of the items that Model Power had in the last few years. Including some of the Mantua classics.
