I am looking for a source for a Terminal distribution strip with at
least 8 connections.
this is for connecting the wiring to the tracks on the Roundhouse (5
bays plus 2 or 3 sidings) side of our turn table.

I'm building a 5 stall Roundhouse for my grandsons HO layout. I decided
to paint the exterior walls gray and   pencil in the cement blocks.
I've done the cement blocks on a test piece covering it with varnish
and it looks pretty realistic.

Details are add to the G&D Engine Service module. A fire box cleaning tool
rack was built from a picture on ebay. In the background is the 2 stall
engine house that was scratch built for a FSM color ad for the cost of

I was at a Toy Collectors Fair at Kempton Park yesterday and came across a
little die-cast station and booking office.   Underneath it was marked as
Gauge 000.    It was fairly small and I am assuming that 000 is now either
TT or N.   Can anyone satisfy my curiosity please?

Please could anyone offer some simple guidance on LMS loco liveries during
the 1930's - for example: what carried black and what carried red?
Thanks,
Roger

I have come across a photo of an LNER 4-4-2 number 5 4 5 4 hauling a train

I just returned from my first trip down-under - a two week cruise with an
extra week of touring.  Part of a tour out of Cairns was a late evening trip
to a zoo near Palm Cove.  About halfway between Cairns and Palm Cove, the
bus crossed several recent and serviceable grade ...

I'm trying to track down a Porter 0-4-0T engine (builders #2884) made
in the very early 1900's for a coal mining company in Colorado.  Or, if
not that engine, a sister unit of the same design. does anyone have any
information on it?  Thanks in advance.
