Re: bone to pick!

 

What helps is to install a number of the 6 ft. long multi-receptacle power strips.? But this is at least some amount of electrical work.? You may still end up with some number of small surge-protector type stripes, but it should be much neater.? You can also plug a number of the 6 plug rigid adapters into the power strip receptacles.? You will minimize or reduce dangling wires.

Bob,

I hear you on the wall warts. Something like this might help:

Since I started my layout in 1985 it's grown in s semi orderly way to the present point.? I've managed to add two medium sized yards,, a passenger staging yard and nearly doubled the trackage and turnouts too.? All this has been challenging and rewarding in sometimes reverse order!?

Over the weekend, I started to make some minor changes but of course, they all involve making sawdust and rerouting the 110V wiring.? I don't know what you guys have used but I seem to have many outlet strips.? None of the uses need heavy wiring but I did wiring for 20 amps.? But over these years I probably have 15+ outlet strips.? These are the ones typically have a half dozen branch outlets, a surge protector, and often some phone connectors all in one plastic box with slotted mounting 'holes'.? Obviously I don't use the phone outlets so that area is wasted real estate for my use.? Then those 6-8 outlets are too close as in today's world many have wall wart transformer that block additional outlets to the point that only two plugs can be used.? Next, those hidden slotted mounting holes take tolls on one's patience,? So I've spent countless hours rerouting them to make life easier--so far mostly a fut al attempt!?

So with that in mind, I've got just a bit more to do in one corner of the room, then it's time for a small glass of wine--join me? ? Okay two glasses!

a thumbs up would mean more if it's in a reply message so you can see what the thumbs up is for.

Re: Seeking AM plug door photo

 

Ron made these for the Central NJ S gaugers in 1988. The prototype was a 40’ plug door insulated boxcar rebuilt from a wood reefer leased from North American in captive service for Ballantine Beer. Ironically, I can’t find my model photo, but here is the prototype….

Re: Mopac Eagle

 

HI everyone,
I know it has been a while since I posted the Nose Eagle etchings. I finally received the proper size decal to go into the etching. So those that reached out to me wanting an Eagle please email me again and I can get you your nose Eagle. Also I will need to know if you want the MP or the TP Eagle. I have both.?
?
I am needing $7.00 each that includes the decal.? I will put them in an envelope and mail them USPS.?
