This page is to be used by the webmaster or authors looking for additional information or photographs to complete articles for inclusion on www.worldrailfans.org

responded: I was wondering if there was anyone out there who might be able to track down some images I could use to complete the articles on UP locos.
Is the index page to a series of articles on UP diesels over the years.
Although it has just now shut down, the Union Pacific Photo Archives was an excellent place to locate shots of newer UP power, but I am rather short of illustrations for the older locos. At the moment I am specifically looking for shots of the following UP classes:
Over time more articles will appear, and John Bruce and I will probably need a few more photos, so a "good source" rather than "I've got just one" would be ideal, but I would love to hear from anyone who might be able to help.
Come to that, if anyone would like to offer to write an article, that would be great too.
Many thanks in anticipation,
John

responded: Can someone confirm whether the Kato NW2 was available in UP black livery or just yellow/grey?
John Bruce(EMail:) from LA on Jun 4 2000, 18:08
responded: The NW2 was definitely done in the early black with yellow slogans on the first run -- there is still one of these in the case at Allied Models. I always liked the model, partly because I have good photos of the scheme, but could never justify getting one, because the scheme doesn't go along with many other UP diesels -- they changed it pretty fast when they decided to go with the yellow and gray.

responded: I need to clean this page up a bit. Anyway.....
A few weeks ago I asked what happened on or around 29th June 1964 (my birthday). I was thinking that this sort of thing could form an interesting theme for an occasional article in the web magazine.
What I was thinking of was something like as many people as possible from all over the world put together a few sentences or paragraphs stating what happened on the railways in their country in a specific year. So you could have an article "In the year 1970", then say Martin Silz puts together a few words on Germany in 1970, Pierre Birge does the same for France, Steve Palmano would seem to be able to write on just about any country :-)), Kenny Ericson could cover Sweden etc. Each person would only have to contribute a small amount of information, but combined it'd be an interesting overview.
OK, so it is my bright idea, but what do you think?
Martin Silz(EMail:[email protected]) from Essen / Germany on Oct 23 2001, 10:55 GMT
responded: Why 1970? Let's start with 1964 :-)) .
John Oxlade(EMail:[email protected]) from Salfords, Surrey, UK on Oct 23 2001, 11:04 GMT
responded: Oh don't be picky, 1970 was only an example. Perhaps 1964 would be a good year - or perhaps it wouldn't.
Perhaps the theme for each one could be "XYZ was born in 19xx, what happened in the railway world that year?" then go through various people's year or birth. What do you think?
Martin Silz(EMail:[email protected]) from Essen / Germany on Oct 23 2001, 12:03 GMT
responded: Sounds good.
So guys, some input on various years please.
Steve P(EMail:) from Dallas, TX on Oct 23 2001, 17:28 GMT
responded: John O., one of the big railway events of 1964 - apart from your arrival, that is - was the start of the first Japanese Shinkansen service, Tokyo - Osaka. I guess the exact date depends upon whether you look at trial running, initial service, or full service, but I think the first through run was mid-year, so maybe not too many days removed from your zeroth birthday! About the best proximate event that I can muster, for the back end of 1949, is the release of the GP7. I don't think it quite compares....
What else? 1964 in New Zealand: I think (but this needs to be checked) it was the year in which the first of the K/Ka/Kb class 4-8-4 steam fleet was killed. Black armbands for the steam enthusiasts - the end really was nigh!
In Australia in 1964, the local branch of English Electric produced the first of QR's 1270 class, probably one of its best-ever locomotive models.
Steve P(EMail:) from Dallas, TX on Oct 23 2001, 18:05 GMT
responded: In the USA in 1964, SP received its second batch of K-M diesel-hydraulic locomotives. These might have been the first diesel-hydraulics equipped from the outset to MU with diesel-electrics. (I still haven't 'closed the book' on that issue - need to track down that possible Spanish metre gauge case.)

I remember seeing some pictures last week. I cannot tell you which date they were posted, all I can say is that it is between January and March 2002. My feeling is that it is towards the end. You will have several hundred pictures to go through.
For anyone else who has never visited this site I recommend it for when you have the odd couple of months with nothing to do.

Terry,
Do you mean that you are looking for purchasing the sets that you quoted? Would it be the case, most of them are regularly proposed for auction sale on Ebay Germany. Also most of the sellers accept to deliver abroad. I suggest that you have a look there.

responded: From one Fleischmann collector to another.
Terry,
You have quite an adventure before you. Either you are collecting Epoch I Fleischmann or you have a desire to collect all of the limited edition sets. I have done very much the same with the Fleischmann HO sets - except for the Epoch II DRG sets I have almost the complete collection. It has been fun, but also a lot of searching.
Pierre is correct: E-Bay is a very good source for theses sets. I have seen every HO and N scale set for sale by Fleischmann - either by piece (locomotive or car) or complete set. Fortunately you will find most of them in very good+ to excellent condition. I have not been disappointed in my efforts to collect these on e-Bay. Along with e-Bay you may be able to find some of these items through this site:
http://www.modellbahn-an-und-verkauf.de/
In particular, this one (7881) is listed under N-Spur (Train Sets):
I have purchased some HO Fleischmann items from this site in the past. This site accepts PayPal. The seller speaks passable English, and is very helpful and friendly.
Good luck. Be patient, don't overpay or overbid for these items. They are more available than you might think.

responded: My brother just bought the M�rklin V11.5 (Tee) trainset.
We do not drive digital only conventional trafo.
Is anybody here able to tell my how it is possible (if it is)to turn on the interieor light in the wagons?
responded: Ernst,
Delta is a stripped version of the M�rklin Motorola digital system. In the older Delta decoders the function to switch lights is left out.
So if there is a Delta decoder inside, then the only possibility to light the lights is to connect them directly to the current pickup.
For more information about Delta look at the Digital pages of www.maerklin.de

I have started to compile a list of track-related track links that should be of benefit for all gauges and skill levels. In addition, I am trying to work out how to include HO turnout templates for DRG track but one thing at a time, please.
