I would suggest you try a couple of the gravel hoppers. They tend to be light and if you are going to get derailments they would probably do it. Plus you need to build -- how many more?

It strongly resembles a Wolff leaf spring truck. Compare with #125 here: http://www.bethlehemcarworks.com/Products/Kit_Bits/index.html#Trucks Mike Fortney either

Rob, I don't know. Perhaps you could try going to the Adobe web site (adobe.com) and updating your version of Adobe Flash Player. Regards, -Jeff

Hi Jack, My preferred uncoupling method, whether with a bamboo skewer or a sharp pencil point, is to get slack on the couplers and use whichever tool I have to pull the nearest gladhand off to the

I have found that the #58 and #5 couplers work together, and am converting gradually (perhaps too gradually) to the 58s. Some mention was made of problems on curves because the 58s have a smaller

Thanks for that; DC has jumped up several notches higher on my 'places to go' list. Though that Suitland is the actual name... wow. I thought it was a joke of some sort. :) Frank Valoczy Vancouver,
