It has been my understanding that lumber usually traveled in double door boxcars whether it was being delivered or loaded at a lumberyard. Would it look unprotypical at a lumber yard siding to see a single door boxcar performing the function of delivery or loading lumber along with the double door boxcars ? If my understanding is incorrect, feel free to share your expertise with me.
Recently in this month's Model Railroader issue in the article related to a modeler's guide to transition gondolas was a chart of typical gondola loads for the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad. The chart was prepared by a certain railroad from its mechanicial superintendent. It contained a listing of gondolas by reporting marks, road number, AAR type and lading. I would be looking for a similar chart prepared by Southern Railway related to loads used in 50 foot PS1 boxcars according to
Cuyama, I spoke to David Casdorph this morning at Atlas this morning. His quote was that actually code 100 is and continues to be their best selling track. I have made the purchase of my new track and there will be no more questions about any of these kind of concerns anymore. I have become the "laughing stock" of this board. I am so sorry for any inconvenience that I have caused anyone. I don't think my skin is tough enough for this discussion board anymore. I am so sorry.
Thanks David, You "hit" the heart of my concern. Your statement relative to the phasing out of Code 100 is what is at the heart of my issue. I am attempting to make a layout that will be handled down to my daughter and her grandchildren. I would hate to build my 2 X 8 foot layout in the next two to five years and at the end of those five years or even ten years suddenly find that code 100 track was being phased out. We all know that turnouts and track can break. Therefore, you have stated
Cuyama, I need your advice. I was hoping to get some firm answer about how the code 100 track items at Atlas are selling compared to the "perceived" code 83 track sales.. That seems to make the difference if products stay or leave the market. I was just wondering if the Code 100 track was selling equally with the code 83 which seems to be "the hot item." Maybe a good idea would be to call directly to someone at Atlas who can answer that question more accurately. I think I will
I have looked throughout the search engines on these Model Railroader discussion boards. Can either someone lead me to the comments through a link related to David Barrow's comments or commentaries on these boards discussing why he does like code 83 track materials. Or if you know his opinions about why he does not use code 83 track materials, please share why he prefers code 100 track instead of code 83. I would appreciate any and all help.
Mister Beasley, You are wonderful. With the condescending attitude of so many on this board toward Atlas Code 100 turnouts, you make them work wonderfully and they look great. I am presently considering using Atlas Code 100 turnouts for my new layout. You give great comfort to someone like me that they do work well and can work properly. Thanks for your encouragement by sharing your pictures of how they work well.
Good morning all, Today was a bittersweet day. My wife and I are having to move to Virginia within the next month to take care of her ailing mother. I resigned my minister of music position this past Sunday. The church was totally surprised. They are still dealing with the shock. However, if they were true to themselves they should not be surprised knowing the continuing saga and trauma in the life of the church. However, here we are today. My wife's car had to have its funeral yesterday. Two
How many of you have received in the mail your new copy of How To Build Realistic Reliable Track? I am somewhat leery of the extra books Kalmbach tries to sell us on; however, I thought this magazine was incredible The information was top notch and well presented. I thought well worth the expenditure. Have any of you seen this yet and what do you think?
