Now that the Fort Street bridge is closed the rent-a-cops at Marathon will have less chances to hassle railfans shooting pictures from up there. I talked to those losers back in 2007 while shooting a pair of SOO SD60s heading into Oakwood. I never shot from the bridge before and wanted to try a dif...

Port Huron, Grand Trunk crossing over 24th street?

I am not sure what train it is but it looks like a CP ethanol train sitting in Rougemere now with a CP unit leading a Soo unit.

How far down from the end of the yard? I work right next to the yard and I know about FPT loads scrap behind double eagle. Or are you talking down towards the forman wye area?

Anyone know what's up with the camera? I have not been able to connect to it for quite a while now.

How big is this show? Does anybody know the number of tables,is it more of one scale vs. another? Just wondering what it's like before driving out there.

I was just looking over the Rougemere yard after lunch today and seen that there are 4 Iowa Chicago & Eastern units over by what I think is the scale track. I can only see the upper portions, but I think they are SD40-2? I don't have my camera with me today so I can't get any pictures.

Eastbound heading toward the New Portage Tunnel In Gallitzin?

How about Tyrone?

G&G trains in Leslie has a good selection of N-Scale. The only thing is the hours, Tuesday and Thursday nights and Saturday afternoons.

I have one of the 4-6-2's in NYC and it runs great. I have a couple of the Kato 2-8-2's and as for the running it is just as good if not a little better. The detail is better than the Kato's also and it is real easy to convert to DCC if you want. I will have mine at the GV show in March if you want ...

Sounds Great Bill. Looking forward to getting that Geep back Gov Crappo, all stuff I'd love to get, I'm temporarily banned from ebay(to keep myself from spending more money I don't have) Thats why I will just wait and trade with people at the shows, it keeps me from spending also. Plus I still have...

Cam, I looked and it is a SD60M thatI have , if you want I could trade you for the NS SD70. Don't forget I also have your GP coupler fixed ready for you that I will bring with me to the show.

Cam, I have a SOO SD60 w/dcc that I could part with maybe work a trade or something. We can talk at the Gratiot VAlley show when we setup there. Bill

Hey Chris check out this link for your CP AC4400, http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/KATO_N_1767211_AC4400CW_CP_Rail_System_p/kat-1767211.htm I have never had a problem ordering from them online and I was at their store over the summer and they have a lot of things at great prices. And Cam is right just...

CN Local 102 brought 20 NSAX gondolas loaded with coils down from south yard lastnight..Where do these come from? One of the cars was NSAX 8561 US steel purchased National Steel in Ecorse / River Rouge a few years back. They may be shipping coils between mills for processing or going to customer. I...

I have seen Severstal get coke delivered from CN, CSX and NS. They all have different connections to Severstals storage tracks on the west side of the Rougemere yard.

The Kato units do run well and the nice thing is the couplers are truck mounted so they run good on tight radius. Chris, if you don't win on Ebay and still want a Kato 38-2 let me know I think that I have one in a box somewhere. Bill

You will be fine with the engine. I just looked at one of the new GP38's that I fixed a broken coupler box on for someone else and they have the rapidos in the box along the spring and clips. Just be sure to check that they are in the box when you buy it, then you can switch the couplers. Switching ...

It would be easier to make one conversion car. Just buy 1 set of the Atlas or Microtrains trucks and change one end on a couple of cars. This way you can run both types of couplers without any problems.
