Ok, ok. Diesels rumble, steamers chug.

That is hilarious! I also found a set of 6 good condition cars for 95 bucks on ebay.
i will look for those special cars!

I am looking for a B&O passenger set to add to my B&O section of my layout. Any suggestions to where I can find one?

Sweet. Thanks Terry.

I'm working on the F9 loco from the digital commander set (the one in the war bonnet paint scheme)

HeyTerry, what platform are you using for those diagrams? I could really use that.

amazing. just amazing. I hope to God that it is NOT hardwired, but that it has a dummy plug!!!

Anyway, thanks for the help jward.

yeah. My great-grandma lives near the Westville, Arkansas main (pretty sure it is BNSF) and it is on a 3% grade the entire way through the town. Those trains are coal trains, and they can be a mile long. Those things chug HAAARD

Wow. I would love to have a huge layout but right now it is only a small one...

but in the future, it will grow!!

I have a story similar to that. I have an old Lionel Pennsylvania Flyer (O-gauge) that takes smoke fluid. Anyway, that train broke about 10 years back, and I just got it fixed about 5 weeks ago (bad thing on my part!). The smoke fluid that was last used in it was still in it, and it had clogged the smoke unit. After warming it up for about 15 minutes, the clog broke and a very thick, smelly, and continuous stream of smoke poured from the engine. that set my smoke detectors off, and the fire department showed up 5 minutes later. I spent the next half hour explaining what happened and they spent the next 20 minutes inspecting the train! Long story short, I had to pay a small fine for that false alarm lol.

Oh. Well, I know how to work it, I just don't have the manufacturer instruction book that comes wrapped and folded in half. I don't have the box either lol.

I just did, and it barely worked. I'm going to go ahead and get all of the inner "guts" cleaned and repaired if need be, and then see if it works.

This is true! I never thought of that...

Thanks Trainman!

If I remember correctly, you need a crossover and/or a switch or two...

but I can't remember!!!

I wish i could.

I would look up some good ways to connect the figure 8 to an oval, but I really do think you would need a crossover or switches.

Thanks for the info!
