Page 212 of Jim Schaughnessy's book Delaware & Hudson seems to indicate differently .... " General Electric's first gas-electric car entered service between Schenectady and Saratoga, February 3, 1906. It seated forty passengers, had a smoking compartment and toilettes. This 160hp V6 engine ...

Not 7303, but 7304 has been wandering through my backyard here in southern Ontario recently crossing the border between Detroit MI and Windsor ON ....

The maximum forward voltage for colored LEDs is usually around 1.7 volts. The whites (golden / sunny / warm / blue-whites) are nominally around 3.4 volts. That being said, white LEDs won't illuminate fully until 3.4 volts is on the rails .... even more with a dropping resistor in series with it. A s...

The number of size variations today is almost mind-numbing ! I've used some LEDs that are small enough to completely mount INSIDE a pedestal mount ditchlight - including the hair thin wires !!! Here's an example of just how small these LEDs are .... http://www.ulrichmodels.biz/catalog/Richmond_Surfa...

Andre - That's the real beauty (or at least one of them) of LEDs - they produce zero heat ! LEDs are quite adaptable for DC purposes as well. A Google search for "LED constant lighting" should turn up a few results. Here's a good one to get you started .... http://www.pollensoftware.com/ra...

I contacted a buddy of mine in NH yesterday who in turn contacted a friend of his who owns some lowboy trailers and has experience in moving cabooses .... he's going up there to check it out. I guess he's not interested in it himself personally, but realizes what it is and just wants to get it out o...

I seem to recall they travelled across southern Ontario between Detroit / Windsor border to the Fort Erie / Buffalo border. That would be supported by the fact they were seen in Detroit AND Buffalo. (?) Anyone have any pictures of them in Ontario ? I would assume they ran the old CASO main from Wind...

Apparently, some where along the line my original picture got removed. No, it wasn't the picture in the Morning Sun Color book either. The picture was taken in front of the Howes Cave cement plant heading south. I looked for the picture to repost, but I can't seem to locate it. As discovered in my o...

I've seen this kind of help here before .... Can someone please provide me with the Pantone number for Burlington Northern Green ?

I'd recommend checking out the D&H Yahoo group - these guys monitor every train on a daily basis. They can tell you exactly what's running, where and when .... and most often the power in the consist ! .... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dandh I don't remember if you have to join to read / post m...
