I don't think that some people want to learn, if its not their way of thinking.
Hello from Clearwater, FL, USA
- Thread starter Brian Boyer
- Start date
I don't have a clue as to how to repair a motor. Only time I could not run a train was over a few days at Christmas. Only time we had snow this year. Anyways this is Brian's post. If you would like to continue to disgus this please go to my winter in Canada snow plow post....thanks Greg and sorry to hear about the bad weather Cal. Is going through.

This is Brian's INTRODUCTION thread, so maybe the whole discussion after the introduction should be on a new thread(s).
You know, work is really getting in the way of me getting this garden layout going...lol. Have everything I need now to put down a complete operational layout, yes, still starting off with track power, but got the Railpro system to run the loco's (RF operation with sound). Have the trestles for the over/under pass, have 3 loco's and a bit of rolling stock. Planning on lots of power drops and using Piko rail clamps and USA Train style screw joiners (for now) going to use contact grease for rail connections. Just need a bridge for the over/under pass, already have my eye on what I want though.
I am enthused by your desire and love of the hobby. Same here it is an addiction. I am retired so have the time ...I try and do one thing for my house...doggie...and trains every day. Today I cut some of the brick that is positioned in the snow plow to try and make it a bit lighter.

Hey buddy how is your new layout going? I just ordered stuff in a private sale and looking forward to getting it. Snowplow is almost finished. But will need more test runs and touch ups after.
You mean me? My Garden layout has been up and running for a few years now with just minor upgrades detailing ongoing in small doses now. I have been working on a G line in the loft but this has stalled due to lack of interest. I have thought about putting some windows in the loft, if I do interest may be rekindled.

I thought this is Brian's intro thread now at 174 posts, let's keep to the introduction, and move other topics to other threads. And if you want private chat use the PM, as the chat between two people gets boring for the rest of us.
Had a death in the family, kinda set me back a bit time wise, but I have installed Railpro RC into my FA units, ordered another board for my tiny Steam loco. Absolutely a wonderful RC system. I did inherit an entire O scale collection from family member, but going to trade that out for some G gauge stuff.
This is my last post to this thread.

My new stuff Brian. He gave me the NH for free. The other box car is a CN to match the other 2 I already have. The engine is a rs-3. Apparently NYC was the first to have them. What I payed with shipping for all 3 ...that are new ...was a great deal for just the engine without shipping. I needed more power for my snow plow. After I hooked up a 20v battery to my NYC f unit it was never the same. The 2 motors were not in sinkronized after that so took the weaker engine out. The one up front. I will try to sell the NYC this summer at a big discount seeing as it only has one Engine. People buy dummy engines so maybe find a buyer for this. If no buyer then that is ok too....I will convert the rs3 to battery power probably in the spring/summer. .opened box. It says NYS on the outside. It is New Haven and that is what I asked for. I like orange. Yaaa
