A friend and I visited Fraser Surrey Docks in Surrey BC in August 1999 and got more than I bargained for.  This is a nice compact operation that might be perfect for a small switching layout:

Wreck on the Copper King Mine railroad. Larry Sax father worked on the Bull gang they did heavy repairs on shovels and trains around the mine, so we have many pictures of wrecks at Bingham Canyon mine. Correction the last wreck was at D-Line bridge not G-Line as said. Pictures from the Larry Sax collection, utahrails.net.

Anyone out there that is old enough to remember the Hamm's billboard on to of the San Francisco brewery? I would like to model the Billboard in 3D with the glass of bear at the top. It is my understanding the the lights on the glass would light to make it appear that the glass was being filled with beer. I am going to attempt to model this but don't know the exact sequence.

Did the lights come on from bottom to top then stay on for awhile then all go out at once and start over? Or was there some other sequence.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I am modeling a four cubic yard side dump rail car.   The car body was kept level using a chain connecting each corner of the body to the under carriage.  To dump the car, a quick release link in the chain was opened, allowing the car body to tilt.  (photo below)  Do these links have a name?  So far, my research has failed to identify a manufacturer of the links or any name associated with it.  I have seen a couple of different styles of this link which may indicate they were shop built during the manufacture of the car.
