Thanks Toyman. I figure that when I get around to replacing them I will just scratch build them. I did it before with Code 70 and found it pretty easy to do,...
I have made switches since the early 1960's out of code 70 rail and actually find them working quite well. I have also worked with gauge seperation, ususally...
Hi, Thanks to all who answered. There were 30 responses across all the groups. (thanks to Google mail which combined them all into one conversation.) The...
Just left Blackstone's office where I talked with Jeff, George and Jarrette (sp?) and here is the news: Pax cars: look. For an announcement today on car nos...
I can't speak to warranty issues, call Blackstone for that. But it sounds like the replacement motors are a simple drop-in. I didn't ask for a lot of...
Having been given a lot of old code 55 weathered rail (greenish brown very oxidized) I was not going to buy rail for my Fast Trax jigs. You must get it to...
I visited a hobby shop here in Sydney today and noticed it had seven East Broad Top hoppers on consignment, so I thought I'd post the details in case there are...

I replace a motor with the new assembly (it includes a new gear train)this week. No problems with replacement, though you may want to take care when fitting...
Not quite "drop in" - you have to take the engine apart and you have to be able to solder. If your engine runs fine now with no over-oil problems you wouldn't...
Wolfgang: What you're calling a "gauge separation" actually is two "draws" back to back. Or at least so the railroad men called them, IIRC. I've seen them in...
You might also look in the photo album "Keevan's Pics" for a photo of the dual gauge turntable at CRRM. Keevan In a message dated 3/18/2010 3:04:48 P.M....
So does anyone have a photo (1:1 or model)of a wye made from "draws" without moving points? It could be traversed only in one direction; i.e. all three tails...
Very nice Wolfgang. The only difference is that I took the dual gauge and seperated it into HO an HOn3 out of a curve with the HOn3 cutting to the inside of...
... I've built 7 wye's like this over the years so yes it can be done. I don't have any at the moment to 'photo' for you but if I build another, I'll...
Just a reminder the deadline is nearing for initial bookings for this trip, even though it is more than a year away. We need to have enough bookings to make it...
Blackstone has up-dated their website and they now list the coach numbers and the prices. Six Pullman Green numbers plus a Pullman Green unnumbered and a...
Morning Kevin. Where is the link? The main page link (on the right) seems to be broken and the link in the 'future releases' page goes to the old page (under...
Hello List, One of the Yorke Structure kits is the Ramshackle Engine Shed with a turntable, turntable pit, and some other equipment. The turntable pit measures...
Give it another try Craig. I was just there and no problems. Same as last evening when I took a look. Keevan In a message dated 3/19/2010 7:39:31 A.M....
I overlooked posting a link in my message yesterday on this thread to the photo "Diesel #73 Switching ng Box Car". For those of you who might be interested,...
... The 32' length matches the length inside couplers of a standard D&RGW box car. Such a turntable would accommodate non-articulated tank steamers, most...
I haven't heard anyone mention that Shinohara has made a right and left handed double draw for years. I have several of them which I bought from someone who...
