 Lionel Steam Engine A terrific Lionel Steam locomotive is every young boy's dream to lead that model train around the bend. Lionel is very collectible and maximum value is obtained when the original box is included. Early Lionel,pre-War,is especially collectible. There is nothing better than having a real Lionel train set to go under the Christmas tree. Some of the best collectibles are the 'action' cars. The working mild car,the rocket car with launcher and so many others. Headed up by a real Lionel steam locomotive they make great gifts for that young grandchild. |

My two G scale / gauge scratch built battery diesels at work. They have manual speed controllers and 12v lead acid batteries inside. This makes them very powerful and able to pull a dead live steam loco and train. I used the chassis and motors from old Bachmann Big Haulers. This is my video footage of my visit to the Peterborough Model Railway Exhibition 2010 and the video is split into four parts to ease viewing for those that do not have 50mins or so of time free to watch the video in one clip. The event was held on the 16th and 17th of October 2010 and I attended the event on the 16th and this is part one of the video. Summary:This part of the video starts off with a small OO gauge elevator train which run parallel up and down a steep embankment. In this part of the video I have taken some stills of the new proposed Bachmann OO and N gauge range of products that are planned to be released in the future which includes a couple of shots of the new Freightliner Class 70 locomotive pre-production model which most of the technology comes from the Bombardier German Blue Tiger locomotive. Also there is the new STVA car loader wagons and also the new JPA cement wagons as well of other rolling stock like the new MPV tamping machine. The layouts featured in this video are "Cornwallis Yard" in EM (OO) gauge,"Little Cussin" and "Daleside Parkway" in N gauge. Cornwallis Yard:This is an EM gauge layout modelled exactly to 1:76th scale based on a small dockland town with an industrial yard that has a moderate amount of freight set in 1935 with the trains operated by GWR (Great Western Railway) using Pannier Locomotives. Little Cussin:This is an N gauge scale steam era based layout that is based on the Settle &Carlisle Line set towards the settle ... My Web Site:modelrr.oakviewresources.com Part 37:This is the continuation of a new series where I build the Excursion Train and Coal Mine Scenes. Music Notes:The music on this video was recorded using Sonar Home Studio Ver 6.0. The drums and keyboards were played on an M-Audio Keystation 61 ES and/or sequenced in the MIDI Editor. The bass used is an SX Fretless Jazz Clone Modded with Dimarzio J Pickups.  The footage shows awful track - that works! - on a model railroad featuring 90's era CSX. Two main segments are shown - handlaid yard trackage,and a mainline attempt at realistic jointed rail. The layout is a small one on an outdoor porch,so when you hear the sound of crickets in the mix,that is actually real. All of the trackage,scenery,equipment,and weathering was last worked on some 6 years ago,when I was in my teens. The layout has actually been dormant for 6 years with stuff stored on top and cats sleeping on the foliage. I revived it to take a record of the best portions. Most of the yard tracks are handlaid n-scale rail on tiny wooden ties,with ample kinks. The yard lead and siding are even more deliberately designed to cause trouble. I put cardboard shims under the middle 30' ft. of each scale 40' ft section of rail,and then spiked the joints down to create the characteristic bowed effect of poorly maintained jointed rail. You'll notice that this is done with N-scale rail on a curved piece of track that heads into a curve switch - I have no idea how the trains stay on the track! The joints are more pronounced on the siding track shown at the end of the video,which is laid with cut 40'scale code 83 rail laid on plastic ties. I intended to film the manifest leaving and some more switching,but ran out of time. Hopefully next time I visit I can capture some more. This video is incredibly misleading about the overall railroad,though,as it is really the ...  My Web Site:modelrr.oakviewresources.com A funny thing happened on the way to doing a series on ballasting track. I realized I should probably run feeder wires from the track to the main bus before mucking things up with ballast(D'oh). This series on wiring this part of my model railroad is the result. Question by :How can you build a model steam engine from scratch? Is it even possible? Best answer: Answer by apoorapothecary If you're that fascinated,you can actually buy a kit that is quite elegant (see the link below). The price is a little bit up there,but as you can see the end result is show-worthy. If you have the guts and the ingenuity,try the "vintage projects" web site below that - it will link you to 3 pages worth of plans and instructions on how to build a serious looking steam engine. You will need access to a lathe,and machinists tools. Good luck! Add your own answer in the comments! Question by emcee lexicon:where do i get the materials to construct miniature buildings in a similar fashion to architects? Best answer: Answer by [ mitchell ] you can try and be creative and use all sorts of things. but basicly i wood just go to a hobby because you can get advice ect. and exactly what you will need Give your answer to this question below! | ||||||
