Re: Locations Of Currently Existing US&S TEARDROPS
Got some unfortunate news out of Orange County--all four US&S Teardrops which were in regular service have been replaced between June of 2014 and now. Both Nutwood and Fairview were overhauled and now use full Invensys / NEG systems, while Batavia got a 'targeted' bell replacement with the remainder...

Re: Locations Of Currently Existing US&S TEARDROPS
Not sure if these have been covered yet, but one on the Mococo Line was recently posted over on Altamont Press:

Re: Bachman CSX B32 "Surging" problem
If that's Bachmann EZ-trak--especially the black roadbed/steel rail variant, that might be the problem. Switching over to nickel-silver rail would be a long-term solution, but a reasonable stopgap would be to wipe down the railheads using a cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol, and then following that up...

Re: You don't see this every day
There's a ped crossing on Sprinter out in Escondido that originally had dual Type 1 Electronic Bells. Over the years both were vandalized, the first getting replaced by a Safetran mechanical and the second by a WC-Hayes mechanical bell.

Re: What type of cantilevers are these?
It's not necessarily accurate, but my version of a RACO cantilever in Train Sim Modeler has a mast diameter of 9". Could be closer to 8" but I'm not sure.CSXtrainman13 wrote:Im sorry for saying this alot, but what is the width of the main mast for the older production one as mentioned in the first post?
