Model Forum / General / Railroads / January 2005

I just opened up the third kit in a row which has missing plans.  The
first was a narrow gauge loco, and lots of support came through friends
via the Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette.  The loco now runs fine.
The second kit was a pretty generic office building, and I wanted to

By way of diversion from conjecture about new releases, and in case any
one is wondering where all those Kadee Coupling Conversions have been
going....

I have the sides from the Santa Fe society for the Pullman 44-seat coach.
This has the full length skirts, plus, of course, the skirts under the door
and other end. The sides are flat -- unlike previous sides I have gotten the
curve in the skirt was not pre-made.

Good News!
Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended?

I'm rekindling my childhood model railway dreams, and have designed my
layout (v simple - 2 ovals, with a fiddle yard in the middle). However,
i currently only have 1 controller, and can only run one engine at a
time. I want to run two engines (one on each track), and I need a ...

I checked my Visa Card and they did put a hold on the account.
Here it is Thursday 1/26 and they removed the hold on my visa card.

I am looking for a little help in choosing the correct smoke generator
for an HO layout.
The Kibri Brewery kit comes with a smoke-stack that allows me plenty of
room inside to install some type of smoke generator.

I'm getting ready to set up a spray paint booth in my basement. Because my
layout is around the walls, the booth will end up having to be in the
middle somewhere. This means the dryer hose I set up to vent it could end
up being very long by the time I can get it up to the ceiling ...

Does anyone know of a good source of information on wagons produced for the
WW2 War Department.
I have seen few pictures, probably due in no small part to the 'hush hush'
nature of wartime.

I have acquired an Express Models lighting kit for my Class 24 diesel.
They recommend wiring it so that all four sets of lights can be operated
independently, rather than using the decoders direction control. My
question is why? Would the prototype ever have both sets of tail ...

I just bought my first Athearn Genesis F7 unit.  It is my understanding
the shell is a Higliner.  I noticed the engine does not come with the
MU hoses on the front or back.  Does anyone know where I can get the
hoses that will work and what is the normal number of hoses for the

Does anyone out there know if a P2K E7 shell will fit on the new E6's chassis
with sound?
