Troops, I am looking for derelict piggy Backs for a project. PM me off line rxman46321@... Griff

It’s great to see the return of the wood 40’ reefer. I am wondering about a couple of things. The announcement says that the cars will have opening doors, which is a change from the original cars and the MTH reissues. So I would ask if that information is correct. also, the paint on the Green Bay and Western car is yellow rather than gray. I have not been able to find any pictures of the cars in any paint other than gray.. I’m wondering if perhaps when they started out they might perhaps have been delivered with yellow? Best regards to all, Fred McDermott

Hi Everyone, I’m looking for advice on an electrical problem. I have a separate transformer and circuit for the 20+ accessories on my layout. It has been working fine until this morning. The circuit is showing the correct voltage but nothing can draw amps and so no accessories are working. No short circuit detected. What could be going wrong ? Thanks

When I purchased this locomotive it did not come with its box and plastic inserts. If any of you have the box and inserts preferably for this locomotive ..... but any of the other FlyerChief GP-7's will do and want to get rid of it I am interested in acquiring it. If I don't intend to run one of my locomotives or rolling stock for an extended period of time I usually pack them up rather than leave them on my shelves accumulating dust and exposed to moisture. Thanks. Mike Cronin

Good Day: I'm looking to add some additional features to the control panel for my modules used on the ACSG layout. If anyone has a SHS 00552 Locomatic sound Control Box they would like to depart with, please let me know off line. Thanks, Ted Zanders TRZP1800 at gmail dot com

Here is the results of this query of interest. 1) Best Diesel 60 - 10 pcs 2) Hyster Logging Arch - 7 pcs 3) Tamiya Komatsu / CAT Conversion - 9 pcs. I discussed this with Brett at Sierra West Scale Models. He informed me that he needs at least 2 dozen orders for a given model to make it economically viable to produce one of his existing kits. He indicated that it would likely take more than 24 firm orders to justify designing the Komatsu / CAT conversion kit from scratch so that's very unlikely to happen. However, if he gets direct e-mails from people totaling about 2 dozen pieces for either items 1 and 2, he will proceed to produce them. The price for an S scale Best Diesel Sixty will be $62.50 + ~$7 shipping (+ tax, if applicable in your state). Of note here, he has no source of S scale corrugated metal for the roof, so he would use either HO or O scale corrugated metal. He wants an e-mail from you with your desired item, quantity and your contact information, committing to a purchase, so he can make a business decision about producing the items. He wants no money up front. Also, he has some S Scale items including a FORDSON farm tractor ($38.50) and some odds & ends for a workshop.

Anyone have solid experience with converting SHS loco's to battery/radio control (ie Dead Rail)? Don't want guessing or opinions. Just real experience that I can learn from and make the appropriate investment. Thanks, Richard Forst Tualatin, OR

Did a roof repair with Bondo. Need to know a paint to match the car. Thanks

Group, I am sending this out to determine interest in having S scale tractors available. There are three items of interest, which might be fabricated by SierraWest Scale Models, if there is enough interest. The first two items are already in SierraWest Scale Models’s inventory in HO and O scales; that would be the Best Sixty tractor and the Hyster logging arch. The cost in S scale would likely be in between the HO and O scale cost, so about $60 for the tractor and $50 for the logging arch. ITEM 3 is to convert a 1943 Japanese Komatsu bulldozer to a Caterpillar Diesel 50 with the LaPlant-Choate hydraulic blade (kit produced 2010). I bought the kit from HobbyLinc for about $15. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/32565/index.html I put a 1:64 ruler to my kit and found the tracks measure about 16” wide and the length of the tracks on the ground is about 87” which equals the dimensions shown for a Cat D5 (1967 – 1977) on TractorData. https://www.tractordata.com/industrial-tractors/000/5/9/598-caterpillar-d5.html That's the closest I could find dimension data for. At some point, Backwoods Miniatures (BWM) produced the following conversion kits for this Tamiya model. http://www.backwoodsminiatures.com/0n3kits.htm Scroll down about ? to 1/3 on the page and you’ll find the item. Here is the description from BWM's website. “NEW! CABLE DOZER and DETAILED ENGINE Conversion for Tamiya's 1/48 scale Japanese Dozer kit. Here's a useful set of pro-moulded resin parts to 'back date' Tamiya's Dozer kit which has a hydraulic blade. Our kit includes parts for the Cable Blade conversion as well as new hoodless bodyside mouldings with open engine compartment to show off the pre-assembled engine also provided. This kit is perfect for hauling our crawler-tracked trailers. Kit costs ?24 plus postage, including our seated driver figure.” The one I think is the easiest and closest conversion is the Diesel fifty with LaPlant-Choate blade. Caterpillar (1925-1949) https://classicdozers.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/img_9171.jpg A modeler could use the kit to convert the dozer to either an older cable-pull blade or just change out the engine and keep the LaPlant-Choate hydraulic blade. BWM closed up in 2016. However, Brett might be able to bring this kit back to market if there is enough interest. Price TBD. Therefore, respond to me directly at rjlee_77019@... if you are interested. -- Richard J Lee Tacoma, WA

Be Part Of The Next Layout Tour (So. Calif.) [Please do not hit “Reply”. Contact me directly.] Model Railroads of Southern California’s next layout tour will be Saturday, February 15. The tour area will be Burbank and the surround cities. Railroads in any scale plus garden railroads are welcome to participate. I would like you to consider participating in the tour. Participating in a layout tour is a great way to share your work and meet your fellow model railroaders. You’ve probably worked hard on your railroad so you might as well get some recognition from people who will appreciate your efforts. All you need to do is operate your trains. I will do all the planning and publicity, as I have done for sixty-four previously tours since 2006, including tours for the NMRA national convention (Anaheim), the National Narrow Gauge Convention (Pasadena), the Southern Pacific Historical & Technical Society, the Santa Fe Historical & Modeling Society and several PCR and PSR regional conventions. The tour is self-guided (No busses) and free. If you have any questions before committing to the tour, please ask. In any event, please contact me directly in the next several weeks if you are interested so we can add your railroad to the tour. Once you have been added to the tour, I will contact you to establish the hours that work best for you. Thank you.

Not sure how many folks here are also into computers or home automation. HomeAssistant is an open home automation platform so there are a lot of integrations for it. Someone posted on Reddit about integrating his LionChief BLE into it for Christmas. I assume FlyerChief is similar or the same.

----- Original Message ----- From: Corbin Bates via groups.io <corbinbates@...> Hello everyone this is an inquiry from American Models. We are thinking about bringing back the Five Car Spine Car set, but we need to replace some of the missing tooling. We would like to hear from you on your interest in buying these as it is a big investment for us. > > > > > > > > > I’m glad to see that American Models is consideing resurrecting this car. I like modern/contemporary railroading, especially intermodal. And while it has been pointed out that 40 foot semi-trailers are long-gone in the real world, it can be a stand-in for a more modern spine car. I don’t know if they’re considering the 3-unit cars also, but their Conrail 3-unit spine car was of course a foobie, Conrail never having had a blue spine car of any length. And to get our terminology right, the individual sections of an articulated spine car are not "cars." Call them sections or platforms or units, but the whole thing is just one car, it’s not a not a five-car car. As noted, ability to carry longer trailers would up-date it a little. I don’t think 48 foot trailers will fit, but 45s will, and they can be stand-ins for 48 footers. Where to get them? I believe there are a lot of 40 and 45-foot semi-trailers out there in the collector and toy vehicle world. We are definitely not restricted to AM’s trailers. My favourite source of 45 foot trailers is MTH. Long before they officially got involved in S Gauge, I discovered that the trailers they were putting on their RailKing (=O27) TOCF flatcars were perfectly acceptable 45 foot S scale trailers, and they fit on all known S scale TOFC flat cars including the spine cars. Lionel trailers are useable, but a poor substitute, being about 44 S scale feet long, and noticeably too wide. Also out there in the real world – and in HO – spine cars sometimes carry containers directly on the car, not on a container chassis. Remove the trailer hitch and add some container pedestals, and you’re in. A-Line made some adapters for doing this with HO spine cars. Good luck to American Models with this. A little modern, or even semi-modern, product will be a benefit to the scale. Tom Hawley – Lansing Mich

Good day: I am trying to maximize trackage in a limited amount of space on some hi-rail modules. What is the minimum cl to cl spacing for a couple of mainline tracks, that will avoid problems with engine or rolling stock “hangover” of the adjacent track at curves and turnouts? The latter will all be original AF although some turnouts will be modified. We’ll be running all sorts of engines, Flyonel Big Boys and Y3’s to AF Northerns and PA’, and the usual smaller stuff. Thanks for your input! Ted

Hello, I have seen that on the AF website there is information about compatibility of the 2-8-8-2 Y3 LEGACY with DCC from a 2013 addendum https://www.lionelsupport.com/Support%20Service%20Documents/6579748180251AF2882DCCAddendum.pdf and running at video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en29Sx9Glog Is anyone working in DCC with this motor and AF electronics? I know that the new models have that compatibility but I would like add that option to my motors Regards Jose
