Roads had one single white line until 1971. Of course dashed line means passing and solid is no passing.

I hope this helps!

Hes entertaining but he should probably try decaf.
That's probably how I would be acting if I was taking a train around the Horseshoe Curve.
Great show!

Any Time!

Yes! 1:64 is S scale.

A little fun fact:

"A Ticket to Tomahawk" was filmed on the Durango and Silverton. The producers requested that the color of the train be changed to bright yellow. The owners of the railroad liked it so much that after the movie was filmed, they had all of the cars on the Silverton branch from drab old Pullman Green to what they trademarked as Rio Grande Yellow, giving a real personality to the line.



Also, for another movie, a big tunnel was made out of paper mache in the middle of the high-line.

It depends on the condition of the engine.

Try it out and see.

     A really good one is North by Northwest. Its a great Alfred Hitchcock movie in which Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is framed for murder and eludes the authorities by getting on the 20th Century Limited.
     Also, The Great Locomotive Chase: an old live action Disney movie about the the civil war story when undercover Union soldiers steal The Genral and are chased by a the train's conductor on foot, a handcar, then backwards on The Texas.
     Both of these movies are some of my favorites.

Jim-
     I like hearing a guy with a sense of humor.
     This summer, I had the privilege of walking through a vintage Pullman-Standard sleeper at the National Transportation Museum in St. Louis on a tour. The guide showed us how all the bunks and everything worked and it was quite fascinating. I opted to sleep in a roomette rather that the larger bedrooms because it is setup similar to the Pullman cars and you can sleep parallel to the window and look out as you lay in bed. The beds in the roomettes work similarly to the Pullman beds except, the top bunk comes down from the ceiling rather than folding down. Whats unique about Amtrak is that they were the first railroad to have windows next to the top and bottom bunks.
     Thanks for responding. I'd like to hear of some of your train rides over the years. Especially the wheelbarrow one.

Thanks,

There is a parts thing to the left there but I don't think they have what you need. Your best bet is to call them and most likely, the will have you send it to them and they will probably replace it.
Also, I didn't know Bachmann made doodlebugs, cool!

Hello all!-
     
     This spring, my family and I are taking the Silver Meteor down to Disney World for vacation. I'm really excited because this is my first overnight train trip. The longest train I have ridden was the Maple Leaf up to Niagra Falls which was 10 hours. We're taking it from New York. We will be sleeping in view-liner roomettes, taking the Silver Meteor down, and the Silver Star back up.
      For anyone who has ridden this train-how was it? Can you tell me how everything went on the trip and any heads-ups I should know of. How are the rooms, are we better off in the larger bedrooms instead of roomettes?
      I have a few more questions: If you take it to go to Disney, how easy is it to get there from the station, are there taxis waiting or do you need to call for one. Also, how long do they give you to get off the train once it arrives. Its says that it arrives at around 10 o'clock, but what if you are still sleeping then?
      Also, if anyone would like to tell of an overnight trip they have taken, I'd love to hear it!

Thanks in advance!

I think it would be a great idea for bachmann to make them avalible to the US. I would buy them.

If they're not running them, one of those would look really nice in my back yard

This is very sad. I was fortunate enough to visit the GCRR this summer. When I looked inside the cab of the recently overhauled steam engine i saw that all of the gauges were red digital readouts rather then the way more common dial. The diesel put put way more emissions that the steam engine. When I saw the Alco leave it spewed out so much thick black exhaust it could be mistaken for a steam engine. They have four operational steam engines I believe, and that's four steam engine that will never run again. They could at least give them to another railroad that could really use them. Too bad.

Thanks guys.
If I was to start with an entry level DCC what would I have to do to change it to something more advanced?

I don't know much about DCC. All I know is you can run more than one engine with a decoder. I am looking for a DCC system to use with an n scale layout that will soon have a turntable, round house and yard. What is the best system to use and what is the best place to learn about DCC?

Thanks in advance.
