Hello everyone. I was curious what’s a good Scanner App? Dumb question: am I able to find local railroad frequencies or am I stuck just hearing 911 emergency dispatch?

Thanks in adv

Scene Design: 19th Century Gold/silver mining operations (some questions)

Sun, 2020-10-18 02:48 — Yannis

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of designing a trackplan for my small island type layout. While trying to do so, (will start a separate thread on the trackplan), i need to figure out some things concerning gold/silver (can consider copper if needed) mining ops, and specifically during 1870-1890.

Passenger Service at Bingham Canyon and Copper King mine.

Passenger Service is a must at the Copper King Mine, the railroad is the only way to get to work at the mine and mill. Bingham had passenger service for only a short time, we talk about that and show the few pictures we have of that time. Some of the photos from the Utah Historical Society.

CN heritage units

Mon, 2020-10-12 21:10 — nursemedic97

Any bets on how long before we have a manufacturer putting out factory painted Canadian (-en) National heritage units? GT blue and red SD70M-2 already out on the rails, IC "death star" and BC Rail R/W/B GE's spotted in the paint shop, rumors that there will be a total of 18 heritage units done.

Not that they would be difficult to model, mind you.
