I'm bored so I'm going to make a Yellowstone/various articulated topic. Its been too long since there was a Corny-style steam thread. Miss that guy.

That's fascinating! I had no idea some survived that late - what a treasure it would have been if one had been preserved.

For pics of Southern articulated, the best resource I have found is the Southern railfan site, which is invaluable. Love the compact look of these mallets.

The thing that gets me is that the Southern didn't use up every available inch of space like… just about every other railroad did. I mean, that 2-8-8-2 there isn't tiny, but compare it to a Y6b, for instance.

Also, the tenders are still small. With all the efficiency the Southern boasted, one would think that going longer between tender-filling stops would be desirable.

I would imagine that tender size has more to do with the infrastructure that was available on the lines they were designed to run. Perhaps there was sufficient coaling and water facilities for where they were used?

Regardless I find them aesthetically pleasing; wish I could find a few color shots of them.

I'm living in the West Bottoms in Kansas City, there's trains all around me, just google map it. It's a great place for me to enjoy my hobby of looking for hobo monikers. I also run a punk venue here right now, in the warehouse in living in, alone and like I tell all my local friends "just til I get that feeling again and catch a train anywhere but here". The one that looks like a face is a friend of mine, the face is actually made up of letters it says Claw Hamr (a way to play the banjo) he's also a train rider..tho he's been living at one place for about two years now I think, only riding when he has time off work. The one to the right I don't know personally but that's Helaphant.

Delta Fire Dirtykid!OAX7SnpyEw 09/12/18 (Wed) 03:05:36 No.6234 [Reply]

Long time no post. Hello everyone, I had retired from the rails but I guess I wasn't ready for apartment life. Last night in Eugene OR I witnessed a derailment right as I was arriving to the yard. Still caught out anyways. Do any of you know what route Union Pacific is rerouting trains if they are to avoid the wildfires? I'd imagine it's mostly likely the Feather River Route out of KlamathFalls then the regular route after Roseville right?

Sigh, at better times there used to be Cross border passenger traffic. Either by those or a long distance train, but I think it was from the Swedish side.

If there was an Oulu-Tornio local train, it's last leg could service as Tornio-Haaparanda -shuttle. That would be a synchronization nightmare on the other hand, matching a local train and express train both in the middle of their route.

Not in near future.

Not really. It has pretty Swedish design. All that roundness and soft pastel colors.

In the Soviet Union I believe locomotives were mostly poison green ammoboxes on wheels designs by that time. They digged their industrial green pretty much.

These locomotives looked more cheerful in soviet red and yellow.

Started to put some power and brains together. Power is a 300w ATX PSU from a dark corner at Microcenter. For now, one molex rail is feeding 5v to a raspi zero, while a servo controller takes way more 5v straight off the main connector. Eventually the raspi will move to 5v standby power so it can run while the rest of the layout is shut off, and one of the 12v 6-pin rails will feed a NCE Powercab.

Nothing exploded so now I need to make the raspi talk i2c to the servo controller and get some turnouts moving.

Will the Raspberry Pi run the trains? Or just provide the power?

Goods yards Captain Slog 08/14/18 (Tue) 17:33:24 No.6045 [Reply]

You know what I like about French (and Italian) railway stations: They mostly still have all their quaint old goods yards and sheds (even if they aren't used), where in Britain this would all have been rationalised and the land sold off for redevelopment.
