AFAIK, and I don't know a lot about signals, it looks like the old existing signals were replaced by the newer LED ones, and are now all approach lit. The ones on the signal bridge at CP Gord where the Michigan Line joins CN appear unchanged and are constant lit. IDK if any were added/deleted/moved...

I'm not a normal person that works during the day

If your looking for a festival that would welcome you with open arms try these guys http://www.michigansteamengineandthreshersclub.com/ they do several blows during the coarse of the day and plenty of steam to go around. That show has a huge following and also has a large vendor area, plus steam tr...

Executive decision time: I knew all along that bridge/creek thing over by Sargent would be an experiment...I kept the original shim ramp...I have decided that the bridges will be removed and that area once again buried under what will become a very large sand dune. It will break up the sight lines,...

After they put a coal train on the ground in Battle Creek the 2 bethgons that had to be rebuilt were shipped out on a couple of the Aluminum Ingot cars

Why? Did you see how much time he had to stop the train? It didn't look like he tried to stop either. So you think the operator could have stopped the train on a dime? Fair enough, the real ones don't stop quick I know the small scale ones don't either. But it goes back to the whole thing of if the...

One thing you have to keep in mind is that many amusement park trains have no brakes on any of the cars. The CP&LERR only had steam jam brakes on the locos but were told not to use them unless they had to. Obviously there are requirements that have to be met like draw bars instead of couplers and p...

Then they are going too fast for the location

I'm still waiting for a reply too

I would think HO

Said to see the loss of the old signals. I talked to a maintainer yesterday and he said the new Safetran signals are pretty cheap and he wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to get new signals up to replace the "new" ones in a few years

I would probably be interested in helping out on that if the club was set up for operating and not going around in circles

CP 437 on the Chicago line uses electric switch heaters. They seem to function just fine

Seems everyone knows about it except the people its intended for...

As some future project, I might do one of the GTW GP9r's, which are currently in 4600 series, since i see them still working in the yard in Battle Creek on a daily basis. This I find impressive since they were originally built in the mid 1950's. IIRC the current units were rebuilt around 1990 in BC...

The old ones are coming down Dec. 10th

The Kato CR SD80MACs were a good example of this. They where selling for almost double what the MSRP was. I've noticed that trend with the Kato CNW Bi-Levels, Most of the cars are selling for at least MSRP if not more, I saw a car go for over 100 dollars with shipping. I'd like to get some more but ...

Thats not a spur, its the original mainline. The main was relocated to where it is now after they built the Airport and Military Base, if you start at Renton road and work east you can follow the other end of it to the airport

What are you, from Long Island? It's a caboose!

I resent that.

No, you resemble that
