If you want real automatic WABCO type brakes, I would pick a bigger scale, or plan to use straight air for a very long while. The smallest functional automatic air brakes I've ever seen/heard of (and I have seen them in piec...

Re: Online Program for Valve Gear Design
I didn't post the program, just that I had the programs, but back then they were posted in lots of locations. Charlie wanted me to hang onto them and keep them for you guys. I'll dig the disks out and copy the notes on them. If I don't post here soon, remind me.

Re: Live Steam Clubs in Europe?
