  F&C/FEBT East Broad Top passenger cars question
Posted by: twilight - 07-07-2018, 07:58 PM - Forum: Narrow Gauge, Logging and Mining - Replies (1)

Put on your memory caps....

Years ago the Freinds of the East Broad Top (FEBT) worked with Funaro & Camerlengo to produce some EBT rolling stock. I have two passenger cars, both are combines 14 & 15. Does anyone know if F&C/FEBT produced any of the other passenger equipment in HOn3? Seems, I can find some info online that cars 8, 10, 11 may have been produced in On3. But, nothing for Hon3. 

Thx for your help,
Mark

Sorry, no construction images. My memory card did not want to find them....
Wood structure kit from Scale Structures limited.
The Dinky Creek bridge in HOn3.
All rivets and fittings are in metal .... Painting all the metal parts and drilling holes for 600+ NBWs is a bit of therapy.

  Track cleaning cars
Posted by: faraway - 07-06-2018, 01:24 PM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (8)

Walthers offers some track cleaning boxcars in the Mainline series. I tried one and it worked very well. It learned the car runs fine in a train and the car could be switches without hassles too. But the various shells are plain awful and did not match my contemporary layout. 

- The shell of Athearn 40' high cube boxcars fits with little adaption. I sprayed two of them dark brown similar to the current NS boxcars. They are still a phantasy car but fits quite nice into the layout scenery (after some decals are added).

- Two short but heavy CSX scrap cars adopted to the track cleaning device with little work.

[Image: 41432163810_b04e719fb6_c.jpg]

The four track cleaning cars will be placed on each train in my  four track staging yard and go with each local freight train over the mainline as it serves the industry.

  Cure "Exploding" N-Scale Accumates

Never had an Accumate "explode" but it has been suggested on the Web. I was just fixing a cover that wouldn't stay on the truck.

  Thank you Duffy, unread posts now working
Posted by: ezdays - 07-02-2018, 03:24 PM - Forum: Forums Issues, requests, and FAQ - Replies (6)

Well, I knew that putting Duffy on the case was the right thing to do. His new knowledge (thanks to a lighting strike) drove him in the right direction.

Here's what we would like you all to do in order to insure that the unread posts function will work for you:

  1. Go to the bottom of the page and click on "mark all forums read"
  2. Log out
  3. Log back in
All the green dots should now be gray, unless there's a new unread post in that forum
All threads with unread posts will now have the green arrow the the left of the thread no matter how you got there.
In other words, the unread post function is now working as it was before this happened about a week ago.

A big round of thanks and applause is in order for our webmaster, Pat (aka: Duffy, Flattbear, and/or Packey) Applause Applause Applause Applause
