footage of a semi-local railroad that was pretty neat if you like
branchline marginal railroading. The sound is also pretty good.

Hi Ed,
UP had no F7's for ten yrs when they received their first SD60's. The
ex-WP GP35's (in UP paint) worked with the SD60's. You might have
seen ex-WP GP9's (also in UP paint) for a brief time with the SD60's.
You can
blocks--one for each main.

Hi Lee.
Like you, the S Scale Workshop has some upgrades to make before
Scranton. Andy Malette, John Johnston, Pete Moffett and I will be
getting together on Monday to wire a second set of buss cables to our
modules
Lee,
There is nothing like a deadline to get in the mood. Having been in
that situation many times, I wish you luck in making all that stuff
happen. The last time I saw you and your layout was in Oregon I think.

Friends,
I've been somewhat busy trying make way too many things happen. First
another Houston S member and I have been devoting some of our Saturdays
to doing some refurbishing of the main sections of our modular layout.
We first displayed
, the B S/ American Model
builders interlocking tower is a great kit. I passed on the LVM kit
when it came out.

As many of you know I'm rebuilding the lower division
features in creeping over dirty track and frogs. It looks
like the system does require a controller to program the sounds but has
voice commands to help. check it out:http://tinyurl.com/mhq4g29

or Cincinnati ?? is getting
better performance from their engines.
I do remember reading an article of a prior 0 layout in Chicago where it
was stated that the side rods, bearings and most everything else that
moved was totally worn out.

work nearly all the time for years on end.
