Nice Grab on the DASH-9s

Larry, open the trucks and move the gears and drive axels over to the dash9 trucks. Theres 3 clips that hold the trucks together, 1 on bottom, and 2 on top, 1 on each side of the riser.

oh yeah, almost forgot, the SP f-unit is powered, just missing the dcc decoder that was once installed, but the unit was replaced in its role of excursion power by a GS4 #4449.

YouTube has really been messing with posted videos. There's one fellow who posts stuff of his outside G scale layout and some prototype railroading action in HD and they (YT) has been stripping the audio off his HD videos so he now posts in standard definition. There has to be a better way to post vids.

These look like they should have some serious pulling power. Who's drives did you use?

You've got a lot of things so I thought you might be a good one to ask: do you have any blank Form D's or know of a source?

Form D's are the NORAC forms used for train movements. See this page: http://broadway.pennsyrr.com/Rail/Si...rac_formd.html

I know I'll never forget - was working up in North Jersey not too far from the WTC that day.

I remember where we were that day, it would have been one of the few days we hadn't turned on the radio that morning. We went out early to buy a new TV and entered one of the retailers to be confronted with the images being displayed on about a dozen sets. Needless to say we didn't buy one that day.
