If you've 25 mins to spare ,I've done an OPPS video testing my revised switch list, quiet a bit of switching to do for just two box cars, off spots covered hoppers to move, switching off spot box cars about, they need spotting first, all in a days work!. -
this guys done a 6 part video on decoder install on BB sw1500 similar chassis
-
looks like SW7 chassis, there not to hard to add a decoder, i did one years ago, just make sure you isolate the motor, might be a good idea while it's all dismantled to give it all a good clean and re lube, there's plenty on YouTube about adding decoder to old blue box.

I like/dislike foreign layouts - discuss

Sadly there are a lot of blinkered exhibition goers, myself being an American HO modeller, appreciate any type of modelling, scale, steam or diesel, good modelling is just good modelling what ever type. -

A lonely box car waiting to be picked up, scheduled for Saturday morning at 10am by the East Jackson local, come along and enjoy the fun, see you there!!!! -
It's little things like getting our layouts in the model mags, that make all the work we do seem worth it, well done

At the end of last year, i did an exhibition, where the accommodation was 6-7 miles from the exhibition and no pubs near!!, i ask if i could book my own hotel a bit nearer the exhibition and nearer the pubs, they gave me the room price of there hotel and i footed the difference, a win win all round, maybe a good option to offer both.

Another area i've just finished is where Lakehurst yard was, it was two stub end tracks, which have change to a branch line which leads to a smaller fiddle yard and an off spot track. Decided i need some where for my ever increasing collection of Eastern road PS2 2bay hoppers, so added a spur of the branch to a sand loader, just a few trees to replant and it's ready for service.- 150 replies
