Hi, Hopefully this is an easy question. Were the number boards on the sides of CB&Q Cuckoo Clock Headlights that were used on steam engines lit? I am building an HO engine and bought Cary headlight c
thanks for the replies! it looks like the headlights are going to be a project of their own. I'll post what I come up with. __._,_.___ Change settings via the Web (Yahoo! ID required) Change settings
I am currently building (as time permits) a brass model in HO scale of CB&Q G-3 #1553. I have started with the tender as I figured it would be simpler and work my way up to the engine. However, I soo
I was looking through pictures of various CB&Q steam engines and noticed a lot of them have what looks like a rectangular sheet metal platform on top of the Cab roof? Was this just a place to walk on
I have seen pictures of SW1 BN #91 in South Dakota Black Hills branch in early 70's with a beacon. Not sure if they blinked or rotated but I used the Tsunami DCC beacon feature in my HO SW1 and looks
I was able to purchase a copy of Zephyr #47 and it has a nice color swatch of the station colors (actually two sets). However, even considering differences in lighting, they appear quite dark compare
I have also found getting actual dirt/rock samples is not that much of a help to use on a layout. I have found that after using scenic cement to glue down dirt, it ends up darker than it started whic
I am interested in this also. Searching on the internet, there are lots of photos of big city station interiors but few to none of more rural stations. All the photos/books I have seen only show the

I have been making progress on my turntable and am at the painting stage. I am using a rusty black for the main structure but was wondering what color the "operators shack" would have been painted? I
Thanks for the help. It looks like the railroad didn't waste a lot of effort making these fancy! _._,_._,_ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group. View/Reply Online (#60461) | R
I am looking to build the turntable that was at Edgemont SD in the 1940's and looking for plans, pictures, or other information. The same design seems to have been used at multiple locations as I hav
Jack & Michael, Thanks for the reply. I would appreciate a full size JPEG as this is exactly what I was looking for. Looking at Google Earth satellite view, it looks like the TT is still there and th
What year was the Edgemont TT cut up? Its surprising that the one at Bridgeport is just sitting and not cut up. Reminds me of going to my Uncles the first time and they said turn at the road that has
