Re: Àthearn diesels: which la Belle oils/greases to use?

I use label 107 for the pillow blocks in the gearing, but I actually use a synthetic silicone grease for the gearing. It's called super lube. Here is a link to the stuff: http://www.acehardware.com/product/inde ... Id=3506761

Re: Baldwin Sharks

Your best chance is to find the leaked photos. Occasionally, 2 photos pop up of both locomotives. One is the nose on 1216, the other the rear car body on 1205. I was dumb enough not to download em when they were leaked, so I don't have the photos. Both locos are in a sorry state, but could be gotten...

Amtrak Southwest Chief Derailment in Kansas

Looks like Amtrak #4, the Southwest Chief, has derailed in Kansas. Couple of cars on their sides from what I can tell. Here is the article on said wreck. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/03/14/in ... ansas.html

Re: Home School Train show this last weekend

Marquette Ore docks, Munising, Soo Jct, that area. I'm not too up on the location, I just have access to the trackplan. The new layout will be 2 decks with a reverse loop on the ends. The ends will also have staging. I'll try to get a list of the towns next time I'm there.

Re: Home School Train show this last weekend

I am a member of Riverbend although I couldn't attend this year. We have had some vendors drop out recently, and the club has gotten a bit smaller. However, we're putting in a new Upper Peninsula layout in the Sunset Manor retirement home and membership is increasing.
