Re: Amtrak Set

Nice! I saw your vid a while back. I was going to get into O scale but a decent loco costs way to much, so I went with HO instead. It is crazy expensive, that’s why I only have one train haha :lol: My brother has a nice O scale collection so I wanted to make a train to run at his club with him. Ano...

Graham white valve question

I have 2 double spring GW valves, and was wondering if the single or double spring valves are better for quilling. My guess is the double spring because it has more resistance. Thanks!

Re: Crossing bell Q&A

I Would say 99.9 of crossings are activated via the wheels closing a circuit, but some are manually operated in museums. Sometimes, they come at their disadvantages though. In this video, the switch was very close to the crossing, so the crossing didn’t activate until the train went over the switch....

Mexico needs some Better infrastructure.

This video shows that Mexican railroad crossings need WAY better infrastructure. This crossing in an intersection has only a few crossbucks! Or they just need to put 5/16 M5s on all the locomotives...
