I went back to page 22 and found where Bmann answered that question. Seems that is still not in system yet.

Believe that was time frame when they went to this new web site design. Not sure what they did with the old topics, if they kept in a different archive or they went to la la land with Pan.

Good website that you offered Bo!

Conrail had it right about the strate/straight. They both are spelled differently yet sound alike. I only used strate as it fit for the 800 ph# instead of straight. And my meds r just fine...thank you very much.

Bo needs to buy that bridge in Brooklyn. My ancestors need some extra wampum. And he can set his 'jingle/poem' to music and he could be 'The artist formerly known as .....

  Great Idea that Derek Has!! Let's start a new campaign to request that Bachmann Trains manufacture 2" straight EZTrack. Maybe we can get a national spokesperson, Tshirts, banners (by Jim), mugs, maybe even a jingle (by Bo), and a toll free hot line 1 800 2st rate.

Free The 2" Straights Now!!!!

I believe that Jonathan is somewhat confused. Appears that Bojangle was answering both Jon's question on 'S' and the question/comment about turnouts. Believe that could have been picked up when Bo had different paragraphs to answer those questions but was obviously missed by Jonathan.

Hey,
  I went to Walther's site and did advanced search for HO bridges. Found about 400 (+/-) items dealing with all styles and types of bridges for various eras.
  Hope this helps.

I have not received mine either. If sensed as possible spam would have gone to that folder which I review couple times per day. Also have checked my settings here and am correctly entered to receive.
Can Mr B check this out with the techies?

Thanks....
Duke....

p.s. I do receive with no problems MR, Trains, Garden RR, Walthers, Atlas and Athearn.

The above replys are correct. Also may want to do test print on regular computer paper. You may also want to clean your print jets using your printers  software program. Best to use a laser jet printer or go to Kinko's.

Received this from CSX at recent event in Jax, FL and thought would share. Interesting from a prototypical historical perspective.

"From the inception of railroading, railroad workers have captured the public's imagination. During the 1840's, attention was especially drawn to railroad conductors who began wearing distinguishing apparel, thus creating the first railroad uniform. A prominent article of the crisp, dark, tailored uniforms was the small billed, dark colored, fine silk hat, bearing a silver nameplate which read "CONDUCTOR".

It wasn't long before other workers commenced wearing similar uniforms, with their own titles, such as brakeman, switchman, agent, telegrapher, etc., emblazoned on the silver nameplate. Starting in 1870, railroad companies began issuing official uniforms to all train crew members, with the exception of the engine crew.

Independently minded locomotive engineers and firemen shunned the fine cut clothing of the other train crew members. They needed rugged apparel that could withstand the heat, grease, and oil of their job. Engine crews in the early days of transcontinental railroading wore sturdy wool, or dark denim trousers, loose fitting muslin shirts, wool vests, and square toed shoes and boots. Their hats were traditional derbies, top hats, even military headgear, all without a nameplate.

Finally, in 1880, engineers gave in to the trend and developed their own unique uniform. This clothing included a soft, durable hat, of unusual design, which became the trademark of engineers, who were affectionately known as "hog heads." Again, it had no nameplate.

Today, engineers are most like their independent predessors. They can be seen wearing regular denim jeans instead of overalls, and "baseball" style caps. Just like the mighty steam locomotive of yesterday, the traditional hog head hat has become a symbol of the past."

Mark,
  Go to search at top of post and type in 'cutting ez track'. Also ask Terry T.

The Duke....

Hey Mark,
  For your 1st question, guess it would depend on length of main between the two turnouts.
  Think you may want to ask Terry Toenges (sp) who has some great pictures of various setups of turnouts etc etc. He has a site where pix were posted.

Greetings,
  How about adding an EZTrack section to the forum board? Members could ask questions and get answers about wiring (DC/DCC), maintaining, and of course....plans (their own or non copyrighted). Could cover all scales.

Zanthian, (or others)
  Contact me offline at duker_1246@yahoo.com and I will send you some EZTrack plans that I have picked up along the way. Have two sets that are in a MSWord document.
