Construction on the ATSF Paradigm Division has been progressing slowly over the last month or so.  I have been working on power district # 4 near the west helix for the past month or so. All of the track, turnouts, and wiring has been installed for Michaelson Jct. (simulates Ottawa Jct., KS) , the branch line over the top of the west helix to Michaelson, and Michaelson (simulates Ottawa, KS). Additionally, all of the sub-roadbed (plywood) for the peninsula has been installed and all of the cork roadbed has been glued down and painted with the dark base color that I have been using.

Brand new, out-of-the-box engine or caboose marker lights for which I need help identifying a part/connection. These heavy markers have a brass knurled fitting on one side that is threaded and appears to have a gasket. The top is marked "Adlake" and has a hinged access cap.

I am hoping to get advice from our resident experts in Kadee coupler options and/or coupler advice for an HO scale Trix Big Boy. I pulled this (much-loved) loco from my display case yesterday only to find the tender's coupler missing. After much panic & with extraordinary luck, I found the missing coupler. It is one of the Marklin/Trix pull-out variety which will require some crazy glue when I do final re-install. However, the original equipment coupler's height is FAR TOO LOW to provide reliable operation.

Hi I am sure most of you have seen my past posts on the Model Railroad Club and had a suggestion to combine them all into one so this is where I will move all past posts and future ones so they can be easily found. If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to post them in the comments or PM me thanks again to all of you people who have helped and are following my posts.
