figure out how to run the features of Protosound 1.
I noticed if the direction/horn/bell buttons are pressed in certain

At a recent swap meet, I almost passed by a table with a bunch of Rivarossi
PRR "1930" cars for sale.  Two plastic cars caught my eye, as they had the
distinctive PRR P85BR half-height windows at the ends of the cars.  All the
windows have nicely executed aluminum window frames and ...

I am looking for info on a Lionel U.A.W. Special rail set. New, complete,
never out of the box. It also has the presidents car they issued after the

   I ran across a book at the library this week that has a wealth of
waterfront photos in it, many with good rail shots.  The time period covered
is 1880s - 1930s.  The book is limited to New York Harbor, but in that

I know there is the occasional post worth something here. Seems to me
