Where and what kind of trestle jig did you get?

Low lumen? 950? That's a lot. Mine are 700 lumen and they will blind you. IMO, IRL

My train room is 100% led. It's 12x33. I used 21 of these and have them,on dimmers. Plenty bright on the lowest setting. Blinding if turned all the way up...

Here is the layout

Here is some additional info: This is for HO scale 4 main lines going across The two lower sections and the angle sections of bench work MUST stay together I am replicating the rockville bridge which will span the length I will be adjusting/moving other leg work

Ok, I have a small dilemma on my benchwork. I have an area which sits lower to the rest. This is where my bridge/ river scene is. I'm looking for ideas how to "hinge", or put a pulley system to raise this. Now for the record, no I can't move this or raise it up to the same level as the rest...

Very modern CSX with a touch of NS foreign power here and there. Two main lines on base and one raised mainline.

I looked and didn't see anything to flip them

Hello everyone, I finally began construction on my CSX layout in my basement. Quick facts: room layout will be 28x12, around the room, stick built bench work with the exception of the small portion off the wall and duck under which will be seivers benchwork that was donated to me. 3 main lines...

I'm having the exact same problem with a new CSX SD60 I just got. I sent athearn an email in reference to it. Waiting on a response.

Ok brad, that's what I did as well, just wanted someone to confirm. Thanks.

Hi all, athearn recently released a batch of sd50's. They just released a batch of sd60's that should be on the shelves any day. My question is these are both RTR and in particular the CSX YN3 scheme, is there different spotting features between the two or did they just use the same mold and put...
