In comments on my last post, someone asked about the routing of the optical fiber. I think "routing" is too dignified a word for what I did, but here's a closeup:

I'd like to share my latest animation with you all. I model narrow gauge and have been creating animations for several years now. The latest is a new On3 module with a turntable, sand house, coaling tower and water tank.

Here is the video as a photo can't show movements - enjoy ...

Modeling steel mills I run into unique operations and equipment. This is one big reason I model them. A couple years ago while talking to a friend about steel mills he brought up an Sept. 1970 article in Railroad Magazine that had a picture of CB&Q No. 6317. A 2-10-4 that was being used as a stationary steam locomotive within a mill of Northwestern Steel & Wire. The locomotive was being used to supply steam to parts of the plant.

Locomotive Sounds

Hi I am looking for a source of MP3´s of Locomotive train sounds of generic steam and diesel locomotives along with just train sounds to play from an iPhone when running a layout due to the fact that I don´t have DCC if anyone knows where I can find some that would be great.
