Building the Rock Ridge Railroad with the slowest construction crew west of the Pecos.
QUOTE: Originally posted by JPM335 Conrail was part of the menagerie of railroads that made up CSX in the beggining. Along with Chessie, Seaboard and the others. You may still find a few locos painted in the blue conrail scheme, lots of cars out there still painted conrail as well. As for what it has to do with hogwarts... Perhaps CSX provides all of the disgruntled employees (im thinking of that fireman in the 4-6-0[:D]). Could we have another CSX fan in the making here???

QUOTE: I'm not planning to spend a lot of time developing a model on the N scale (right away anyway, so I'd like to save some money on turnouts. How are the Atlas? Are they relative to HO and I am going to be disapointed in anything but tortoise powered Pecos? What about hand throwing? Are they too small and just better go home to MOMs.
QUOTE: I'm assuming if I run a Digitrax Zephyr on my HO unit a stray wire might ht the N layout and power that as well.
QUOTE: Are the couplers the same in N. Kadees rule?
QUOTE: If I do cookie cutter in N, how thick should the plywood be. It can't be too stiff a requirment, we're only talking ounces of weight.
QUOTE: Who makes the best metal wheels. Part of the reason I went for his lot is I could see metal wheels on the cars.
QUOTE: Can you give me a short version of the CSX prototype--maybe one paragraph. Is there a relationship with Conrail? What does this have to do with Hogwarts?
QUOTE: Anything I'm leaving out about the differences between HO and N?
