Modeling general discussion
Special Thank You Video to the Amherst Belt Lines Club and Elliott
What the club and Elliott did was very generous so Adarius and I are very grateful and happy. Okay here is the story, My son Adarius wanted to run a train so bad and he spent a lot of time at the M&P layout and asked if he could run one of my locomotives. He knows the members because we were previous members of the club.
Clean out track
I'm modeling a terminal grain elevator and would appreciate info and pictures of what the clean out track looks like. The era is 1950 so nearly all deliveries are via 40 foot box. I have been able to find a lot of info on elevators in general but not anything about what is needed for the clean out track.
Keep Alive- why so long in coming?
i just had a keep alive installed in an engine. What a difference! They are capacitors, which have been around for a long time? Why not available a long time ago?
Hump Yard Purveyance
Does anyone know what happened to Hump Yard Purveyance as their web site is gone and phone is not answered? On a second question, does anyone have one of their lever remote switch stands they would be willing to part with? Thanks.
Visiting the Amherst Belt Line Train Layout - Amherst Train show 2019
I'm tearing down my HO UP Southern Cali Train layout for New home plans
I revealed my spring plans at the train show that I was tearing my layout down and doing a whole video series of tearing it down. It will be the first HOW TO videos about properly tearing a layout down and salvage as much of the layout as possible. HA. The reason for the tear down is Loretta and I have begun the search to buy a new home and have been hunting for the past 2 months.
LAJ Switching Layout West Side of LA River
Finally got a good plan for my LAJ modules. It is a combination of a few LAJ Switch Leads to give a maximum of industry & freight car types for my first modules. The switching side is now built & in my apartment. Have a start on the bridge & then will build the staging yard. My Plan is based on the "old" LAJ on the Vernon & Maywood side of the LA River. Chris Butts' layout is based on the Commerce side of the river but his plan does include the A Yard on the Vernon side. Charlie Slater sent me all 22 of the LAJ Switch Lead Maps.
