railquik
Awile back I decided to try railquick. I downloaded and installed it. Found out my computer lacks "access". There was some talk if I remember about possibly making it work with more open source programs. Has this been done yet? I know copies of access are still available but the ones I fi d are either not compatible with my machine or waaaaay out of my budget.

Junction Valley Railroad

O scale - Updating some Atlas/Roco cars
Hello all,
I've some old rolling stock from Roco (1970's production for Atlas) at home and I would like to modify them to obtain updated cars for my little project of US layout.
They are good bases. I've compared an actual Atlas boxcar with a 70's one: the body is exactly the same: I was surprised!
Port of Morehead City- Long Overdue Update
It's been far too long since my last update. While work on the layout has been moving at an absolutely glaical pace for the past several months, this last week I've been working feverishly to get some work done. The main thing I've accomplished since the last post was the completion of the trackwork.

I just posted 4 pic but they only seem to come up on my comment page (?)
Layout Animation Idea
This is a layout animation idea I came up that requires no motors and actually uses the trains momentum to power it. The idea I came up with uses a flat gear (rack) on the track and a gear sticking out from below the car. When the car passes over the rack gear it would move the animation. With varied rack length and teeth on the pinion (round gear) you could have almost limitless possibilities. I would try this myself but have two problems:
1. No available gears
2. I do not have a car to "butcher" and cut a hole in the bottom of.
[GWMS] Awesome News
I did post this in our club topic but I couldn't help putting it here to. I will be receiving for me a NCE cup, hat and shirt along with for the club an NCE Power Cab System I can't wait to try this thing out. Also with that they sent 4 decoders which is a perfect start for our club.
