Remember how you needed that ATSF depot? I was able to e-mail him and he asked for your e-mail address to send some drawings.

Yes, the 'Anyone Need Help Finding Something?' topic is back, my school was the trouble, but know I have Summer Vaction! I thought, "Why not? I have the time.". So, and I have twice as much links with my friend finally getting an Windows XP instead of the 94' Windows. I Back! You may post, for any scale, any item!
But the item must be real! An example of what NOT to put is an B&O Dash 9-44CW!
Put engines you knowexist!
Thank you!

Half weather, and half trains, what? You expect me just to love trains? You can ask me what cause a tornado, and I'll know step by step.

By the way, is it true that more stress on a steam locomotive will cause a higher rate of smoke exhaust?

General Discussion / Acela vs. Amtrak
May 17, 2008, 03:23:37 PM
I know and understand Acela is Amtrak, but who prefers Amfleet or the American Bullet Train?
And,
Union Pacific vs. BNSF, tell your favorite and why, or suggest your own railroad or your favorite, This topic was made for you to show your favorite railroad(s)!

Go ATSF! And SFSP!

Look it up- I live in Bourbonnais, IL- and not that far away is Oak Lawn- this is where I was born. Check this out!!

FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
OAK LAWN -- A Wisconsin man claims he was following his in-car navigational system when drove onto railroad tracks in southwest suburban Oak Lawn and got stuck. The empty car was struck by a Metra train at 94th Street and Cicero Avenue before he could move it.

Oak Lawn police responded to a 911 call of a car stuck on the tracks at 10:21 p.m. Thursday. When they arrived, they found a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse facing eastbound and the driver and his female passenger standing nearby, Oak Lawn Division Chief Mike Kaufmann said.
~Report from Chicago Sun-Times.com.

I'll see if I get anymore details ;)

Poor Metra, can anyone find a cheap F40PH of anykind with Metra cars anywhere!

Before police could attempt to move the car, a Metra train appeared. Officers tried to signal the operator but he was unable to stop in time and the train struck the vehicle, spinning it around and knocking down a traffic gate, which in turn damaged the front end of a squad car.

No one was injured and no traffic citations issued. The train was delayed for less than 30 minutes.

Kaufmann said the 24-year-old driver was obeying his GPS system when he took a right turn onto the tracks and his car's undercarriage became lodged on the rail.

"GPS will tell you something, but you still have to pay attention to what's going on," he said.

HO / HO DCC, is weaker?
March 28, 2008, 12:13:48 AM
My old Life-Like non-DCC engine, goes 100xs faster then a DCC engine. It pulls more, even when the DCC has a half layout start, the non-DCC beats it flat! What's up with that, werid....
