I have created a small pit mine with a max of 4% grade to the bottom. I have used fairly tight curves and only expect to haul 5 to 6 2-bay open hoppers of coal at a time. I am trying to figure out what kind of motive power to use. I have tried 2 sw1500's, a STD gauge shay, but they seem under...

I would like to throw out a question to the readers. I am modelling a large section of Colorado. I am creating a fictional railroad to govern my project but wish keep 90% of the trackage true to life. I am using Google Maps to use for trackage, road and industry/building reference, and was...

As I get deeper into my project I am finding that I have to change all my default switch levers to another switch machine. Is there some way to change the default lever for the substituted machine so that when I lay a turnout the machine appears instead of the lever? Thanks Billy

Hi there! I just wanted to put it out there as ask if anyone would like to aid me in creating a large working model of the Denver Colorado Metro region. I am putting a spin on it. I am using current track mapping and adding some of the older maps, in turn creating a modern day railroad binding...
