Hi, The Flicker Free circuit works equally well in either DC or DCC. It is designed for LEDs but can probably be adapted for bulbs. You are on your own for that ... I don't use bulbs any more.

Try Grant Line. I think PBL the people who made Brass Sn3 had plastic hand rail rivets that had a hole for inserting hand rails. Jim Sleeth S gauger

Clark do you have evidence of double deck cars going to Deckers? I ask because I am not sure that many of the local stock pens in the area that served Deckers had facilities for loading the second

Thanks for all of the replies about rivets & "Archer Rivets". After my re-perusing the Archer site & their products, I believe I have been convinced of their virtues. My initial surprise was at the

Thanks for a lead on the information. I will see if I can find that issue of Mainline Modeler. Thanks Tim Meyer

Scott, "Pullman War Emergency box car red??" Pullman-Standard painted freight cars with the same paints that were available to the industry as any other builder. These included Sherwin-Williams,

As I understand it, railroads had to provide two single deck or one double deck for the same price for 'small' animals like hogs and sheep. This was to prevent railroads from doubling the price. I

Beautiful picture! It appears on the cover of Mainline Modeler, 5/92. The two cars in question are 40' Fowler boxcars: see Koeller, MM 8/92, pp 40-45. Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

Hi Ben I hope this works http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?fsaall:94:./temp/~pp_csmn:: Thanks Tim Meyer

Yeah thanks Lester. For asking that question. Now I have to try to get a hold of Andy Carlson to buy three pair of trucks for my Milw stock cars! Seems I made a serious mistake when I told the Monday

A friend asked if I had any idea what shade of "boxcar red" the CofG's and the West Point's War Emergency boxcars were painted. Hard to tell from b&w pics, you know.... I'm wondering if, given that

Richard, Thank You for pointing out the Tahoe Model Works ARA Buckeye truck. I will use them on the car. Lester Breuer

What's wrong with the LED's being on in storage? If on a siding I can see that, so the dead track section is a good idea, but I have put lit markers on several brass cabooses using very small 1.5v

Hi, We were discussing Western Union cars some weeks back. An in-service photo of two of these cars appears in 'New Haven Power' by Swanberg pg 115 - Claus

....and with the Flicker-Free circuit works with DCC (which might be what Steve meant). I'm using a couple of them too and plan to add them to the rest of my caboose fleet. Rather than adding a

Works equally well AC or DC. No flicker as the capacitor stores enough power to keep the markers lit for several minutes, even if off the track. Therefore dirty track, dead frogs, or less that perfect

Steve Does this circuit work with either/both DC or DCC? How difficult to add a magnetic switch to turn the markers on/off? Tim O'Connor

If I need to just put down one, two or three small Archer rivets in a spot, I find it difficult to handle, dip and slide the very small decal section with the normal method, so I came up with another

The same approach would work equally well, of course, on Tahoe Model Works caboose trucks, both the early Bettendorf swing motion and later Barber-Bettendorf styles, which are IMHO the best HO
