Started the last 2 705 pilot coupler installs today. I cut down the extended box on the pilot of my C19 and got a trimmed and drilled 705 pinned in. I started dis assembling my C25 for remotor, paint,

Steve, given your close call with the fire a while back, are you thinking about cutting the brush back to the edge of yourproperty?

I am only using the 705’s to install good working couplers on the pilots of my 6, 1970’s brass HOn3 loco’s. I have 2 boxes of the 705’s (8 couplers total) so I can screw up a couple of installs and st

so far I’ve converted my K28 and C&S 2-6-0 to 705’s. The K was easy. I made a brass box, soldered to the pilot beam that a 714 with box would fit. I had to slightly narrow the 705 box to fit, and it w

Steve, I remember Flagstaff seeming “balmy” After being in Vegas. Looks like you are 1500’ lower altitude. Does that make your daytime temp. Higher then Flagstaff? I drove Rt 66 a few times in the 60’

Mark, mine came in the mail Friday, 07/26.😊🚂

If anyone out there has a pack of 705’s they are willing to part with, I am looking. Kadee is out of stock. Ed T tippytib75 at yahoo dot com. 😊🚂

I find the ME switches have tight guards and frog wings. The NMRA guard check does not fit. I open them up until the check fits and from then on they are trouble free. I use a Dremmel with cutoff whee

Tony, DPL? Denver public library? Something else? I have been looking for a source for the Maxwell plans for a while with no success. Got no response from the Colorado RR Museum. That’s where I got th

I want to build 2 or 3 30’ reefers from the 32 to 78 series built by AC&F in 1908. I have a folio sheet, but it’s rather light on details. I tried to use the Trains index but it kept giving me a 404.

Got some replies on the Sn3group. 12’ x 12’. 😊👍🚂

I want to build a water tank based on the Villa Grove / Jacks Cabin small water tank. I have enough pictures, but would like to know the tank diameter and height. Ed T.

Picture of a 58 drilled but not pinned.

On the D&RG eastbound up the 4% to Cerro Summit, the C21's were rated at 3 loaded coal gon's and a caboose. Normal operation was to tripple the hill. Some of the old pictures of Marshal pass show trip

Russ, what is your Facebook site name? Ed T.

I migrated from HO to HOn3 at age 16 in 1960. Bought a PFM C&S 2-6-0 #22 for $34.00. In the late 1960's and early 1970's C16, C19, C25, K28 for $50 to $85. Then I got a "high quality" PFM K27 for $370

Robert, I agree with Jim. It isn't rocket science. Draw it, build it. If you don't feel you can make the points, notched running rails, and frog, take apart a commercial turnout. I have not built a tu

I wanted to let fellow modelers know that I've begun a kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a model of the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn RR to be installed in the Lynn Museum' It can be found here
