1903 P&R Operating Rules

Sun, 2013-07-28 05:34 — dave1905

I model the P&R  in the 1900-1905 era.  I obtained a 1903 P&R operating rule book and transcribed the majority of it into a word doc, to preserve and share it.

I have attached a copy to this blog post.

If you are familiar with post WW1 timetable and train order rule books you will note some differences.  I call rule books from this era "international" rule books because all the examples of train orders  use international capitols as the station names (... run extra Berlin to Istanbul...).

Enjoy.

Defect Detector?

Tue, 2013-07-23 12:52 — Dt.Cw_NScale

I've been trying to find a N scale defect detector or ways on how to model one. The problem is, I have no idea where to start and I don't want to buy an expensive defect simulator that is $$$. I also want something that isn't like the Dallas Model Works Defect Detector. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I got this idea from djstrains on youtube.

Operation Sessions on Portable Layout at the NMRA Nation Convention

Mon, 2013-07-08 11:53 — bkempins

If you are interested in operating on our portable, civil war era theme layout at the NMRA National Convention next week, I have posted a sign up sheet at the following link http://usmrr.blogspot.com/2013/07/sign-up-sheet-for-op-sessions-at-nmra.html

 

We have about 20 slots open for guest operators to take a crack at operating a battery powered 4-4-0 with link and pin couplers and authentic 1860s era paperwork.

Klaxon Chemical Free-mo Module

Sun, 2013-06-23 04:28 — Rustman

This module is only 12" long and is built to only go on the end of the layout. It's still not complete. I need to finish building the fence and gates, install the derail device and some other scenery work. The blue flag reads "Tank Car Connected" and will eventually be moved to the other side of the sensor. Installed in the roadbed is an IR sensor, underneath the module is a Pricom Dreamplayer Lite board, Aztec IR sensor board and a small speaker. Watch what happens when an engineer gets too close to the end:
