Hello, 

I picked up some nice HO trains at an estate sale today and I'm not familiar with one of the brands.  I have a HobbyLine Pennsylvania #1000 engine.  I haven't been able to find any images or information on this.  Is it from the 1950's or much more recent?  And what is the approximate value of this engine? 

   

Thanks!

I am in need of decals for Lehigh Valley locomotives that have the white flag. Everything I have come up with has red flags which were not on their red units.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I ordered a set for LV cabooses that does have white flags but I have to wait to see if they are the right size

I also have to rework both the crane and boom car to convert them from truck-mounted horn-hook couplers to body mounted Kadees. 

Wish me luck.....

Hello I am new to protosounds and programming. I am currently using the z4000 transformer, and I'm wondering if certain numbers do the same thing across the board or if all channels are specific by locomotive. Excuse me if my terminology is incorrect. Thanks in advance.

Hello all I have Aquired a set of Athearn Blue Boxe Santa Fe passenger cars and a F7a and F7b unit I'll be detailing the engines and adding sound i will also be doing Interiors in the passengers cars with lightning effect.

I'am at a point now to get started just need to find a source for some technical info mainly the Interior colors in the cars.  Is there anyone here that may have that info and some color pictures?



Thank you in advance.

With the passing of Don (EZDays) I needed to decide on a second Admin for Big Blue.
Don & I have been doing the Admin duties since Big Blue began. Remember, Don, Pat & I own it.

Pat (Duffy), Don's son, has been a huge help to both of us and the Forum!! 

With that said, please send well wishes to TomPM, our newest and first "appointed" Admin. 

Over the last couple of weeks a major issue has developed on the layout that pretty much is making it unusable.

I have been having problems with locomotives surging at various locations throughout the layout. This is happening in both DCC and DC. This started after I began working on the siding for the Golden Valley Canning Company. 

The layout is divided into four power districts/sections. This issue is happening in all four districts.

I have tried numerous things.

Cleaned the track several times.
Replaced a couple of suspect pieces of track.
Removed the fuse circuit.

Nothing has helped and I am at my wits end.
