Kato Nscale C58 or C11 steam locomotives.

Hi all

 

This is my first post after lurking for a number of weeks.

 

I'm looking for someone who might have one of the Kato models C58 or C11.

I need the physical dimensions of the drive train to use for HOn30 (2 1/2 feet) scale

I'm hoping to use either of these locos to model the Baldwin Prairie Tank locos used on the Puffing Billy Railway in Victoria Australia

Does anyone have any info, pictures etc. relating to the Central RR of NJ Blue Comet?  It was a top notch excursion train from NY city to Atlantic City.  Thanks....

To Signal or not...that is the question

Fri, 2011-10-07 12:49 — Ontario Eastern

I am in the process of my new layout.  I am done my layout drawing, but the question I am left with, is should I install Signals or not.  I model HO and my layout is a freelance modern (today) concept.  I had though about putting them in and going with the idea that they were used by the railroad before my railway took over, and they just decided not to use them.  the other concept is to have running CTC on the layout or using the signals as ABS.  I am just not sure what route to go.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

US in the UK for a semi seasoned modeller

Hi all, 

 

During the last week I have discovered MRH (with the Ezine & pod casts on the ipod while im modeling). This recent discovery has led me to have a bit of a change of direction.

Hallo,

I´d like to share my view of this great spare time activity with my friends. For this, I have done a Blog - but only in German. Maybe it can be translated via Google for the readers not so familiar with my native language. Anyway you may find some interesting stuff and links.

Brick building

Take a look at this 1905 picture:

Of special interest are the very uneven road and the pattern on the brickwork. Note that is not just painted, but "picked".

Caught! CSX Derailment on Bing Bird's Eye...

So I was doing a little virtual railfanning scoping out details for my new layout when I came across this:

This is an image using Bing's "Bird's Eye" functionality fully zoomed in.  If you go to the coordinates
39.897619,-75.151172 you can take a look.  This is in CSX's south Philadelphia yard about 1/2 mile south east of Lincoln Financial Field.
