Two more crane videos: This one was the Delaware and Hudson's big hook at Oneonta shops - and originally steam powered, but was repowered in the '60s to diesel. At the same time it was given a pair of traction motors allowing to move (slowly!) on it's own. She was donated to the Cooperstown & Ch...

I believe phpBB (the software that powers this site) counts each time a person views a thread as a new view. I've looked at this thread probably 2 or 3 times (and voted!) and as a result I've created 2 or 3 views. So 380 views could be just 100 people. Still not everyone viewing - but a much smaller...

No one gave me anything railway related for Christmas - but I did get a very nice LEGO VW Camper kit. Of course the day after Christmas I ordered a dirt cheap Bachmann L&B Lyn for exploring 7/8ths with....

The same here - I thought it was full scale!

I'm building a relatively stock Andel C&M brake. I do almost all of my modeling during the winter so work is just about to pick up again from where I left if back in March or April. I just picked up a little string of 10 LED Christmas Lights hooked up to a switch and two AA batteries from a doll...

I think it looks excellent

LEGO are generally pretty crazy about the quality of the bricks themselves. The bricks are pretty tough - this guy [http://phillipecantin.blogspot.co.uk/] has been building a series of ever improving test rigs to measure how long they last in use: http://phillipecantin.blogspot.co.uk/

Nice. That's one of the best executed railway forced perspective scenes I've erm... seen. How deep was the whole thing?

I have just received my self purchased Christmas pressies today. The two books that I brought for myself a few days ago have come. They are Iron Sherpa vol. 1 and the Darjeeling Garrett and the locomotive it tried to replace . Sadly the current wife has confiscated them both in order to wrap them a...
