Trainz.com DOES come up, but the TRAINZ MARKETPLACE no longer appears to exist. THAT was what I was referring to in my original post, unless I'm doing something wrong.
How many logs are you loading into the receiving bin. If it's more than 5, including the one that's already in the trough heading into the main building section, they will jam. I only know this from personal experience with my own 464. Hope this suggestion works for you, It did for me.
Anybody know what happened to the TRAINZ marketplace web page? I've tried a couple of different web browsers, and get the same result for both. I'd lke to know if anyone else is getting the same error report,
I have read several posts on this forum concerning the application of relays in operating various postwar Lionel accessories and for train control, etc. There are obviously some real experts on this subject. However, I have several questions, which I would like the experts to answer in the clearest, most concise way possible. Let's call this post relays 101, or relays for dummies (the dummy being me). Do solenoid-driven accessories operate better on DC as opposed to AC. If the answer is DC, do
I assume you are a baby boomer like me. Who amongst this group DOESN'T miss the old department store train displays, especially at Christmas-time. I live in southwestern Ontario, Canada, about an hour's drive from Detroit, MI. The old J. L. Hudson downtown store was an absolute MUST to visit. If my memory serves me right, it was the twelfth floor that was a virtual train and toy heaven during the Christmas season. I couldn't get up the old escalators fast enough to that floor. Even in
Looks like greed and insanity have spread from Wall Street to ebay.
Here's a real shot in the dark. When the engine shorted out, was it moving in reverse? The reason I ask is that when you took it all apart and reassembled, was the e-unit lever in the operating position, because if it wasn't, then the motor is locked in the reverse mode. Sometimes, over the years, these e-unit levers become loose and drift into the "off" or neutral position. Just a thought.
It's probably Sakai. They made switches, some accessories and even some rolling stock, I believe. These were the Japanese manufacturer's attempts at entering the hot 1950's 0-27 train market, and were a much cheaper alternative to Lionel.
This is the 1947 version of this loco, since there is an e-unit lever sticking up through the top of the engine. The lettering on the collector plate that you are referring to was standard for that model. The screws look like they could be replacements.
According to wikipedia.com. F-scale is used with railway tracks that are 2.781 inches between rails. From the looks of the youtube video, this isn't exactly a space-saving gauge to use. By the way, this site has an incredibly slow response time, as I am posting this. I've seen complaints by users before, regarding this problem, but this is the first time I have ever experienced this slowness.
