1936 Lionel 0-72 Husdon, complete with two cars and a caboose. In addition to the 72 inch tubular rail, my father bought an oval, with a siding, set of steel rail, with honest to gosh "T" tail. The secitions went together with plates and bolts. Still got all of the plates, screws, nuts and the wrench to put them together. The oval was 6 ft by 10 ft. While going thru my fathers papers a few years ago I came upon a large envelope containing all of the original instruction sheets, in prime
The depot in Arco Idaho was moved when the tracks were taken up, 55 miles to Blackfoot, Idaho (I can't figure out how they got past I - 15!) It was sold to a private party and has been a dance hall, a restaurant and now is being used by a drywall contractor for storage. The contractor's wife is a historian and is fully aware of the building's significance. Inasmuch as much of the waiting romm/office are still intact she indicated that they may do something significant with the building
The U.P. Depot that was in Mackay, Idaho, the end of the line, was bought by the then Agent for the railroad, a man named Waters, and moved 80 miles to Rockford, Idaho (near Blackfoot) It is now owned by his son and daughter-in-law and is a Western Wear store
At the moment I have no way to check this out so I am asking. I would prefer to use 2 inch foam, with no plywood under it, if possible. Has anybody tried to glue 1 X whatever on edge, on the bottom of the foam board to stiffen it and prevent the vibration, hence the noise? These pieces would not contact any framing, just be glued with the appropiate glue to the foam.
My oldest is a Varney F-7 with the road number 947, meaning that is was first put on the rails in September, 1947 The mechanism was updated some time in the 1950s with a Bowser mechanism. It will still pull the walpaper of of the wall
I use DPDT latching type relays (Mouser # 655-d3060, $2.35 ea. in quantities of 25 or more) A momentary pulse of 12 volts to the proper coil of the relay changes and holds the position of the relay. The relay contacts control the polarity of the power to the switch machine. This allows the Tortoise machine to be controlled in the same manner as the old, twin coil machines. The current requirements of the relay is a small fraction of that needed to operate the old twin coil machines. I also use two
I have a 3 car set of them, A C&NW Cab car and two coaches. The floors and roofs are wood and the sides are plastic, with windows, etc., printed on them. There are metal castings for the ends and center doors No trucks or couplers were supplied. Very nice cars, as long as the three-foot rule is observed I bought mine about 20 years ago.
The world's smallest train set with a scale of 1/35200! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1222496/Pictured-The-worlds-smallest-working-train-model-thats-tinier-fingernail.html Perhaps somebody with greater computer skills than I can post the pictures.
I noticed the white car that came down the road just before the train appeared. The driver was either drunk or not paying attention. He was all over the road.
Yes, Digi-Key's website is very hard to use Mouser too! They offer to send you a catalog. Ask for one. The catalog is much easier to navigate than is the website. Find the catalog number of whatever you want, then go to the website for greater details and the latest price. Click on the "Data Sheet" on the website, you will see everything you want to know about the connector or whatever you are looking for. Most likely the price at Digi-Key will be substantially less than the hobby outlets
