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...

Thanks for all your comments, I will be making some changes.

It's HO, and the the layout is 12x28. Not sure by what you mean by size of bench work? The inner edge of benchwork is not set yet as I haven't started building modules. The outside is set by the room size.

All, attached is a copy of my layout. I am looking for constructive criticisim. It isn't locked in stone but pretty set on design. Outer loop is a raised line on its own. Tripple main, with a staging yard on left and intermodal yard on right.

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...

I sent back the same heritage unit 3 times for the same problem every time. It comes back says fixed and passed QA. They did pay for all the shipping but I had to go to the post office every time.

Assuming you are referring to HO scale, Kato, and walthers is the only 53' well car that is metal. They are semi hard to come by especially the TTX version. There are a few ebayers and internet sites that have some listed. Most others are plastic. I have both plastic and metal, I have special...

Ok, I took this screen shot of their youtube video of the 2014 catalog. Looks like they have a new model, what is it?

Hello all, I currently have a Zephyer dcs51 setup on a 4x4 test track that I use for incoming purchases. In the near future I will be picking up 2 new brass releases from overland, and the new Genset from atlas. I want to be able to run these out of the box for testing purposes. Am I correct...

I'll second that, I got a new 40-2 RTR from athearn. It is a CSX YN3. I know which ones go on it but can't find them. It's the ones attaced to the pilot and go on angle to the hand rail.
