Canadian Steam Train Excursion From Hull To Wakefield, Quebec
http://www.model-railroad-infoguy.com/Canadian-steam-train.html
60 years of lovin' model trains. My New Layout Pt 2. Ride A Canadian Steam Train. On The HCW Tourist Railway. The locomotive was built in 1907 and the passenger coaches in the 1940s, all from Sweden. A highlight of the trip was to watch two workers turn the engine on an "Armstrong" turntable, that is, push the engine around by hand for the return trip to Hull. It is remarkable how well balanced the turntable is. We did the trip in early autumn when the leaves were changing color. It was a beautiful, ...
Decoder Installation Tips For Older Model Train Steam Locomotives
http://www.model-railroad-infoguy.com/decoder-installation-tips.html
60 years of lovin' model trains. My New Layout Pt 2. For Older Steam Engines. One of the first engines I ever owned was a mantua Mikado 2-8-2. It was DC and grinds like crazy. i keep it on a shelf for nostalgia. . Xa0;magazine had a project railroad called the Turtle Creek many years ago. This locomotive had been gathering dust in a box for a long time. Of course, it pre-dated DCC. I decided to install a decoder in it as a learning project and donate the engine back to our NMRC. Xa0;train club. . The gr...
Add Weight To Model Trains To Improve Tracking Reliability
http://www.model-railroad-infoguy.com/weight.html
60 years of lovin' model trains. My New Layout Pt 2. Derailments ruin the enjoyment of model railroading. Having the correct weight will make freight and passenger cars stay on the track better. This is particularly true in the smaller scales such as OO, HO, N and smaller. Taking extra care when laying track helps and weighting cars helps even more. Sometimes it is also necessary to add weight inside locomotives to improve traction on grades. Too heavy cars can pull a train over on a curve. Put a re-rai...

My Model Railroad: My Block Signaling System Project Page
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/page-17.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. My Block Signaling System Project Page. I use a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program for all my drawings. I first purchased the original software in 1985 as a DOS program ProDesign I. I have stuck with it through several company transitions (4) to my latest version DesignCAD Ver. 18. So as a 25 year user of a CAD program, drawings are a snap. I use LView Pro for all my photo editing because It's was much easier to learn than Photo Shop. My Type H-2 Search Light Signals.
My Model Railroad: Roundhouse Project Overhaul
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/roundhouse-project.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. This project is made from two Korber #104 three stall Roundhouse Kits. They are long out of production but I still occasionally see them listed on E-Bay. Korber Kits turn out very nice, they have a very realistic appearance upon completion. If you use AC to assemble them they are also extremely durable. I originally built the roundhouse from two Korber #104 Kits in 1991. Each Korber Kit had three 15" stalls that equal 108' in. They were too short. The Roundhouse rest...
My Model Railroad: 135 foot Turntable Project
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/135-foot-turntable-project.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. 135 foot Turntable Project. I originally scratch built a 120' turntable using the Bakersfield Turntable as the prototype in 1991. The October 1989 issue of Model Railroader Magazine had the plans for building the bridge superstructure. The article was titled ". The Santa Fe's 120 foot through truss turntable". It served me well but as with all my scratch built mechanical devices it had some minor problems. This is my scratch built 120' Turntable. This is a view of my...
My Model Railroad: Sliver Spur Mine Project
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/page-10.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. Sliver Spur Mine Project. I have decided that the Silver Spur Mine will be my Birthday present. It is a Campbell Kit that I purchased back in the mid 1990s. It's been sitting on the shelf with many other kits to be assembled on a "Rainy Day". It seldom rains in Bakersfield so they just sit on the shelf. The picture below is well into the first building. It shows the Shaft House and conveyer structure. The Campbell instructions are very good but again as usual...The s...
My Model Railroad: July 22, 2015 Birthday Present To Myself
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-22-2015-birthday-present-to-myself.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. July 22, 2015 Birthday Present To Myself. My birthday is just around the corner so I bought myself a present, a pair of clunker Hobbytown of Boston E7s to restore. These are probably the worst looking things I've ever purchased. Taking them out of the mailer they were packed better than anything I've bought o f. Out that by pouring the Denature d Alcoh ol through a filter to remove the paint debris it can be reused. The picture above shows the new headlight housing i...
My Model Railroad: HO Vehicle Headlight and Taillight Project
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/page-15.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. HO Vehicle Headlight and Taillight Project. Lighting is one of my passions so I've installed headlights in about half of my vehicles. I wanted taillights also but that's been a problem. I tried fiber strands and that didn't work at first. I tried .01" and .02" and they just wouldn't cut the mustard so I gave up for the time being. This picture bellow is a Model Power 1956 Lincoln with the body removed and my light to fiber contraption. The picture below is a front vi...
My Model Railroad: Doug's Diner
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/dougs-diner.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. I bought a few Craftsman Kits over a period of time in the early to mid 1990s. I assembled a #57 Campbell Railroad Station Kit early on, the rest have been on the shelf until a rainy day. Well it seldom rains in Bakersfield so I finally decided to do it to it even without the rain. The old Babe's Diner will be remodeled and installed across the road from my railroad station as a cafe. Doug got the new building for his Diner and Susie is getting a completely remod...
My Model Railroad: Susie's Cafe
http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/p/susies-cafe_24.html
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. This project is about the Master Creations Babe's Diner that I built 20 years ago. The picture above is from the BTS Site the way they intended the kit to be built. My version came out very close to their specs. The Diner sat near the top of my mountain just off the highway into Susanville for ten years. I replaced all of the figures inside, added new tables and chairs. I repainted the entire interior and made a new sign over the door. Signs can easily be seen also.
