Greeting all,

I'm ready to lay track and was wondering if and where would a rerailer be used?

Thanks,

Joe

Not the brightest bulb in the bunch, or is he.

why can't I stay logged in? I indicate to auto log me in at sign in, but I never am. Why?

Remember, the summer structure challenges start in less than ten days. So far we've got five people participating in the kitbash challenge, three in the scratchbuild one and still only one in the kitbuild. Take a look right here and see which one, or ones you want to enter.

This is just a reminder in case you meant to enter but forgot. Not a harassment, no intimidation just a plain ordinary attemt to get more people involved in these challenges. They're fun, they're productive and they're a source of pride for everyone that enters and gets something done as a result. These are challenges for every skill level and for different building techniques.

I just put up 4 photos taken in the aftermath of the 1913 Flood. Although this is the Union Traction Co bridge and equipment, I feel that these are good enough to be seen. The destruction from this flood was devastating to railroads in Indiana. The photos were taken at the site of the bridge between Anderson and Chesterfield. This is the site at the White River on SR 32 near the Anderson Airport.

Thank you.

I expect many folks will have heard about this by now. Today, there was a major derailment in Oshawa on a CP freight line. I was just watching the news and they said that some 27 cars had derailed. I saw some pics and the train was in a zig-zag shape! Fortunately, no one was injured although they have evacuated residents from their home in a 1 km radius (it was in a residential area).

Here a couple links on this story:

I have this area where I am thinking about putting this sawmill and out buildings.

I am totally new to logging of any kind, so I was hoping somebody could advise me on how to arrange the buildings and how many tracks I might need. I am thinking two tracks, one for the loaded and empty log cars and one for box cars for the finished lumber and hoppers for chips.
ON the diagram, the area is the 2 by 4 ft area on the bottom. The track on the left will be approximately 4 to 6 inches above the area.
Thanks for any help.

Heres a picture I found a few years back------ considering few business's even put decorations on their windows anymore , at least not in Las Vegas . Matter of fact it's been years since the city even put up garlands on the street lights, I thought this might be interesting as to how things USED to be. Pretty fancy !!
