Hi, Guy, I remember the ANPL! Hadn't thought about it for a long time
though. I still have the ANPL scepter that I made for it.
Plans are available by request.
Thanks for the great memories of it.

I am trying to determine what type of car [car #1] is coupled directly
to the ATSF ABBA consist on the cover.
It is maroon w/ quite a bit of gold lettering. It has a curved, smooth,
black roof. It appears to have one, centered, refrogerator type door on

   This matter comes up every year after the exhibition, and every year we
tell you why we dont change the venue, especially to the Olympic Park
precinct.
   A few years ago we thought we were going to have to give up the Whitlam

HELP!!
This is advertised as a Class 33, but after looking at Hatton's site it
seems it mat be a class 31?
Can anyone correctly identify it

Ia m selling some NIB N Scale items.  These are older stock, and have Rapido
couplers.  They include SP&S Diesel Locomotives,Ann Arbor Diesels,
Lackawanna & Erie E units, N scale freights, N scale MOW.  I will be posting

Thanks so much for all the help on selecting a "Shortie". I bought a
65' MDC coach from Caboose Hobbies.com
Now, someone suuggested an engine for the the coach. My layout calls

Subject says it all really...
I need phot of BR calss 33 No. D6580. This was converted to class 33/1 by
Eastleigh while still in green livery. I inderstand the jumpers varied from
the final pattern.

As I plan my model I am inclined to set it in Europe, I am a little put off

I take it that the locos will take their power from the overhead?
Cheers,

Any one know who makes the replacement bogie mounted bufferbeam/pilot  for
the Mainline Peaks?

I have about (8) "favorites" groups that I go onto, but this one beats
all. Everybody is so willing to help a newbie, there are no nasties
and bad word users that have to be killfiled, and there are no
sarcastic answers. Makes a guy want to be careful never to abuse such

I am thinking of using Winrail 7 to help design my layout.  Can anyone give
an opinion on the usefulness of Winrail and whether I should get Winrail or
Winrail Deluxe?
Thanks,

Has anyone had any experience with these?

I was taking a gander at these and was truly impressed with the pictures
on the web site.  The detail on the tie plates and spikes look great!

Kind of new to all of this but will be building a very large layout in
the very near future.
Can anyone advise me of what 'OO' track manufacturers are compatible
with one another and if any combinations of tracks brands cause a problem.
