I guess that is why I am a 2 rail fan. For many years I was I have liked trains, trains of into HO and really enjoyed working with that scale. Then one all kinds. Maybe it is because day, 20 years ago, I saw a 2 rail O Scale layout and WOW, I my grandfather worked in was hooked. Everything just seemed more realistic and sound- management for the South- ed that way, too. I found a dry basement here in Florida and it ern Railway in Atlanta, Geor- had a house on top of it. I was happy. As with most model rail- gia. Thanks to him and the roads it started off small and grew and grew, just like the real passes my family received, railroads did. we traveled by rail a lot, My railroad, the SOUTHERN, is a fictitious connecting rail- mainly up and down the east road consisting of my favorite railroads. Naturally, the South- coast. I remember standing ern Railway is my favorite. The other roads are N&W, C&O, on the open platform of an observation car watching the con- ACL, SCL, and the FEC. ductor dropping fusees onto the ties to let the next train know we were ahead of them. I think that the smell of coal smoke from the steam engine and the noise and motion of the train got into my blood as it surrounded us on the open rear deck. I still loved riding the trains even after the engines became diesels and the obser- vation car was enclosed. Rid- ing on the French TGV at 185 mph is the only thing that came close to the thrill of yesteryear. I have had some form of model railroad for most of my life starting with American 4 • O Scale Trains - Mar/Apr’ 04 Being a connecting railroad makes it possi- ble to have all sorts of different equipment. Both steam and diesel fit in the period and give a contrast to the changing times. I have yet to go modern, but it has been tempting to buy some of the neat cars I see running up and down the FEC as I travel around town. Most of my 1000 feet of track work is Atlas flex and the 80-plus switches are from Old Pullman with Switchmaster motors. I have made quite a few sidings for local switching work, which is one of my favorite things to do. I have a large double stub ended yard for my main freight yard and a smaller yard on the upper level where the locals pick up their orders. Another operation I like to do is a looooong train with upwards of 80 freight cars and helpers in the rear. I like to video these trains because on the tape they seem and sound quite real. There’s nothing like a C&O H-8 slowly grinding up a 2% grade with a heavy load or a N&W Y6b with a long load of hoppers. I remember seeing the Y6b’s going only 15 mph with car after car of coal slowly following them. Them were the days! Dirty ones, too! The SOUTHERN has 5 passenger trains that have to share the mainline and, just like the good ole days, they take the right of way. The main freight yard is choked with about 200 cars and I am in the process of down- Mar/Apr’ 04 - O Scale Trains • 5 sizing so that I can do more switching. The infrastructure of the SOUTHERN isn’t modern. The power for the engines is from two home-built 18 volt, 12 amp, power packs and 3 Dallee Yardmasters for moving around the lay- out while doing switching chores. I am consid- ering switching over to a DCC or TMCC system, but with 30 diesels and 29 steam engines on the roster I think I will wait awhile and see how all the new systems work. I am also afraid of hav- ing “cornfield” meets and, with trains pulling up to 80 lbs of cars, a mistake could be costly. I have 3 cabs and that keeps the CEO, engineer, and dispatcher quite busy now. The latest addition to the SOUTHERN is a wharf scene. A friend of mine bought a Lionel tugboat. It is a little smaller than O Scale, but not that noticeable. I had to have one! Then I had to have a place to put it.

Various events were carried online via Zoom to make participation possible for those not able to attend. Zoom events included at 10:50AM: Special Ride on D.C. Transit 1304, 11:45AM: Riverside Dedication Ceremony for John Middleton, 1PM: Roundtable with the Executive Director, 1:30PM: Bylaws Roundtable, and at 2:30PM Worldwide Trolley/Tram Identification Trivia. The weather decided not to cooperate but things went off amazingly well - if slightly damp. The live Zoom-cast from D.C. Transit No.#1304 was rather amazing. While there were some audio hiccups the video from the car was quite good. I for one had never participated in a mobile Zoom event before. The museum’s two MBTA 01400s (Pullman-Standard Car Co., 1963 Rapid Transit Cars), a New Direction (5-year plan) strategic restoration project, were available for viewing in front of the Highwood Carbarn.

  • "Just the Ticket" 6
    01 1 The above was penned during the last week of September, however with three days to go much of what you will find in this edition arrived with me. Despite this material suddenly giving the editor copy to work with, I still feel that much of the editorial which appears below remains pertintnet and so I have decided to leave it in unamended. elcome to the October edition of ‘Just the Ticket.’ Here in the UK we are now experiencing a true ‘Indian Summer’ as the nights have draw in, but the days continue W balmy, even hot at times under occasional unbroken blue skies, (or at any rate in my part of the country). You would think this should ensure even more opportunity to run trains on a garden layout – it does, but do I have the free-time to make use of the opportunity? Rarely it seems, and so for much of the time the locos and rolling stock patiently remain in the cupboard. Last month, I felt there was a very noticable slowing down of train related email traffic to and from myself, and began to see the submitted material to the newsletter getting distinctly thin on the ground. On the one hand, this is the continual challange to anyone fool enough to try and produce such a newsletter as they basically stand or fall by their quality of content but on the other hand the lone editor can hardly be expected to generate it all, which results in a dichotomy of readers eagerly looking forward to each new edtion and an editor sat wondering what on earth he can write about.

COVER- A pair of TTC H5 subway cars were appropriately decorated for the official opening of the Bloor-Danforth Subway extensions, on Friday, Nov. 21, 1980. —TTC photos by Ted Wickson QUOTE OF THE MONTH- (Extracts from an editorial in the Toronto Star of November 5, chosen by the Newsletter particularly to mark the completion of the Kennedy and Kipling extensions): "In the past two years the politicians... have ducked the hard decision about investing in the TTC as a force that could determine the future development of Metro—the fastest, — most convenient form of public transit is the kind that runs on fixed rail such as the subway or LRT—Even in the fitful economy of the '80's, a new transit line can have a stimulating effect. Metro needs more of them. The next obvious one is an east-west line along Eglinton, Sheppard or Finch Avenues—If politicians show a bit of nerve and build fixed rail transit into thinly populated areas, experience has shown these soon become thickly populated areas.
