. . . . . . . . . . . the thought of DCC operated couplers really intrigues
me.
DCC scale couplers? Or like the Lionel U33C, digital-controlled BIG couplers

Of what use would a DCC operated coupler be if it was only on the loco? Can
you imagine how many addresses you'd have if each end of every car had one?
Not to mention the cost!

Ed,
Admittedly DCC Operated Couplers is not something that is viable on
everything you own. But it if was on a new locomotive I was considering on
buying it would really be a great gadget to use, especially for me because I
cut the wires off my couplers, and will not have any magnets on my

For general switching, yes it would be expensive, but if you pull your
train into the yard and need to cut off the power and send to the house, it
would be adequatel. (Or even two locos that need to be split.)

Hi everyone:
This week's progress includes loading a 53' flat car with Farmall tractors. I'm
really pleased with how this project turned out. You can read about it on my
blog, here:

Trevor,
I agree with everything you've said. I use HO Sergents for Sn2 and I'll use
them when they're available RTR in standard gauge. In the mean time, I use
Prot Max couplers because they uncouple flawlessly with a KD coupler pic and
they're larger than #5s.

Trevor,
Nice work with that flatcar. As you indicate the floor of some of the
SHS flats certainly looks like plastic. Most of the latter versions
were much better. Since there is such a small side area to weather, the
deck is the place to do that and those decks get all the weather effects

My layout is already designed with Sergents in mind - and the
ability to operate the couplers with a magnetic wand instead of physically
forcing open the Kadees with a skewer has a lot of
appeal.
Sergents look a bit better but

Somewhere I thought I read that CDS had a new owner. Does anyone know of a
contact for the new owner or does anyone provide CDS dry transfers from the new

not new. Jeff?

Hi Trevor --
As always, nice work, but what I like best about your blog is the mix of real
and model photos (these are especially well executed). I also have to marvel
at how fast you got where you are on the layout... If you haven’t done a bit

Nice job on the flat car. I think I have the same tractors allegedly headed

All I will use is a coupler pick also, I'm not going to mess with magnetics.
Remember a coupler used in the 40s and 50s that a had bronze wire that stuck
toward the side, and the knuckle was a thin piece of brass on it's edge.
Squeezing the two wires toward each other opened the knuckles.

I am collecting interest for S-Scale Retaining Walls. These will be patterned
after BO cut stone walls. The stone pattern used is the same as the BO tunnel
portals that Altoona Model Works introduced earlier this year and comes from
the BO 1916 MOW book. They will be 6 tall X 8 long,

I was afraid to try and drill out the stake pockets on the metal

there's an easy way. I'm running a load of John Deere's--my wife would
