They are digging now. Just saw a couple photos from a Facebook friend who rides that area also. I thought of riding up there but threat of rain.

I remember a number of years ago waking up and not hearing the typical clack at the diamond. I lived about a half mile away. Biked down next morning and no diamond. Today, riding the rail trail on the old line. I drive through Holyoke regularly and see an occasional set of different rolling stock. B...

I assume all the wheels are spinning, not just one end. I just looked at the three versions on the Bachmann site and two are clam shell and one is a top and bottom weight version. Center can motor driving each truck. Two flywheels. As far as the K4 goes, I have seen a few forums that mention, the K4...

Undiagnosed sleep apnea. Google the sleep apnea. It takes at least an over night sleep with sensors on the body and maybe even a camera. I am a Vet and the VA put a digital device on me with all kinds of sensors. I have a slight case of it. Stepson has it. A former boss had it. He could easily fall ...

Some time ago, someone cut the fence behind Walgreen's and placed a couple pallets on the opposite side for walkers. I have seen many crossing on foot, usually mother's with kids and teens, and occasionally carrying a bike. I bike the street across from D&D.

Get your multimeter out and do some continuity checks. Pretty simple.

Girlfriend and I saw the two seater at the Big E train show, Jan.31st. Comfortable to sit in. They will have a four seater. No passing. lol Trips, six miles or eighteen miles we were told. We both ride bikes on rail trails in Western Mass but this will be a different experience. http://www.adirondac...

I went Sunday with girlfriend and her thirteen year old grandson. Great day. Really thought it would be crowded. Four hours and turning 75 soon. Been going since, one day, one building. Electronic technology for model railroading is really evolving. Got this from a Society rep in another forum. We h...
