Does anyone have a 2600 that they can give me the resistance of the rehostat?

I bought a 2600 at a yard sale and the potentiometer is bad... Burned up

I came across this website when i was looking for 1 87th drybulk container trailers and of course i know there is no manufacturers that produce ones like these...until now.I've been looking for trailers like this for along time to add to my dry-bulk transfer facility. Anyway you can check them out here. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.shapeways.com/shops/miniature_models">http://www.shapeways.com/shops/miniature_models</a><!-- m --> You will have to paint them,and they come in a few variety's of finishes(depending on the price).A little pricey,but i know you won't find these anywhere.Also check out the Dry bulk transfer machine.

A friend of mine just got a new layout room with a house above it. He told me that the area was 15 feet by 18 feet. I then saw a thread started by Chris Gilbert in RM Web back on April 26, 2012 called "Help Needed." as well as Roundhouse's Ft. Myers thread and decided to empty my layouts folder again and share some ideas. I figure that I would operate the layout as a switcher stationed on the layout while transfer runs come in from staging.

15 feet x 18 inches:



Each staging track holds 4 cars and a loco.




18 feet by 18 inches:



Each staging track holds 6 cars and a loco.

I just thought that I would put out one of my doodlings. One of the critiques about my ISL designs is that they are too linear. I added a 9 inch straight section onto the drill track to make coupling and uncoupling easier. The Track is Atlas Code 83 track with 18 inch radius turnouts and curves.

I have an overpass on the right side of the layout with stores to act as a view block for the drill track. The drill track is enough for a locomotive and 2 cars. The track plan and its industries are designed to allow for a mix of different freight car types. I showed a carrying handle which can also be used to fold the wings to make a 36 inch by 18 inch portable layout. The structure by the building supply is an IHC Ready Mix Plant.



I would assign the tracks from top to bottom as:

Top Track - Manufacturing Company.

Second Track - Food Processor, Additional Loading for the Manufacturing Company, Loco Storage, Freight Car Overflow

Third Track - Interchange Track

Fourth Track - Salvage Company, Building Supply



I figure that the traffic flow with 3 cars interchanged daily would be as follows:



Customer Weekly loadings In/Out

Manufacturing Company 5/2

Food Processor 3/0

Building Supply 3/0

Salvage Company 0/2

Total: 11/4

Going to be vacationing on the Outer Banks for two weeks this summer, does anyone know of any railfanning locations that would be within a two hour drive of the Outer Banks area?
