Years ago I printed off one of those paper buildings you can get on the internet. It was sitting on the desk and my daughter came in asked about it and asked if she could put it together. I think she was five and she did a great job. It has been on the layout ever since, it is that gray shack way in the background. A little worse for wear but I won't remove it.

Ed how and where to you connect the roundhouse lighting wiring to the lighting bus?

Hi, Henry.

The first thing I did was run a pair of bare copper "buss bars" tucked into the truss work and along each side wall of the roundhouse:

 RH_mains by Edmund, on Flickr

The feeders to this buss were run from the floor to the ceiling inside a pipe made to look like a roof drain pipe. You can see the white/blue + wire and white/brown - wires coming out of the top of the pipe on the far right in the photo.

Here are the LEDs all lit up. 87 of them if I recall correctly.

 RH_lights3 by Edmund, on Flickr

 I measured and located the hole through the sub roadbed and threaded the wires to below the layout as usual.

Lately I've been using these "spring" connectors for lighting and Tortoise wiring.

 Pushin1 by Edmund, on Flickr

 IMG_8738_fix by Edmund, on Flickr

They are very handy, in my estimation, anyway.

 Regards, Ed

Thanks Ed, the drain pipe is an excellent solution to hide the wires.

From one of your other pics, you have the led and resistor, and then you run those between the bare copper?

I have some of those spring connectors, haven't used them yet.

From one of your other pics, you have the led and resistor, and then you run those between the bare copper?

Yes, exactly. I used a black and red Sharpie pen to place little marks on the wire to keep track of plus and minus.

Many of the LEDs are grouped in series, say three outside wall lamps are all in series. I tested a variety of resistors between 540 to about 2.2KΩ to get a nice amount of light.

Fun project. The end results were worth it.

Thank you, Ed

You asked for a kitbash and here is one!

In the mid 60's the NYC converted a large number of 50 Ton Twin Hopper cars into 65 Ton Twin Hopper Cars with extended sides and ends.  I used a McKeen 100 Ton Triple Hopper and cut out the middle bay to get the car above.

Another picture next to a standard 50 Ton Twin Hopper.

Here's a fork lift! This special load better get a proper tie-down, perhaps using some of youngs Stevens new found talents, or it will be into the chemical tank in front next time the engineer spots a Tim Hortons.

  

Please show me a man with a pick.

Since there has been no answer to the junction request in 24 hours, I am dropping back to the most modern locomotive on my roster.

GE C39-8's which I just acquired, prototype delivered in 1984 and are the newest engines on my roster. my cutoff is prior to these, but I use them on the club layout.

Please show your oldest era rolling stock.

.

I believe the most ancient piece of rolling stock to be seen on STRATTON & GILLETTE rails is this boxcar belonging to the ALABAMA & ANGEL HILLS railroad.

.

I do not know the exact prototype, but judging by the deep side sills, double sheathed construction, and 36 foot length, I would guess it is from around 1900 or so.

.

This was built from a Westerfield kit, and features AB brake updates, but you can't see them behind the side sills. This is the only deep side sill kit I have that I added brake detail to. Why model what you can't see?

.

.

Again...Please show your oldest era rolling stock... Thank you.

I'm familiar with cardstock cars. Don't have any on the layout, though. Don't have any knob-and-tube wiring in the house or vacuum tubes in my computer, either.

These have all earned their respective places in history, though.

Show me a bulk-commodity car.

Thanks Timmy.  As always, looking good guysWink.... part of construction is the start of it which involves the plans. Hear are my own custom drawn plans for the first scratch built structure I will build when I finish my bridges and lay my track.

I wanted to create a somewhat sinister-look in my design. I do feel that was achieved..... It is an Ore Tipple.
