mph: Had the same problem with my car shop doors when I tried to pull a hi-cube boxcar in.

JNXT 7707: Electric locomotives are also high pieces with their catenaries, even when not raised.

dastumer: Not necessarily, it depends on the locomotive. Foreign designs such as the ACS-64 and AEM7 keep a low profile, with the pantographs lowered they're shorter than a GP.

yardmaster54: My grandson cut the grass today for the first time this year. I'm on light duty until May, so he'll cover for me until then.

oldtimer52: Maybe that's why you can't get him to cut the lawn for you!!!

newbieho: There is just something about lighted train carriages, running in the dark, that warms the soul. I am working in the basement and the trains are running in the dark nearby.

The Jade Fog, formerly: Dave: Those last comments reminded me of when I was a kid, we had a Tyco floodlight car and a C-430 with a bright cab light. We would run trains in darkness and set buildings and other trains to make a shadowland world passing by on the walls.

wks: I remember doing a similar situation with the floodlight car. Telephone poles and trees would look nice in those shadows. Can be recreated today.

yardmaster54: There is nothing like the light of a locomotive shining down the rails in the dark on your layout.

ZeldaTheSwordsman: I don't want to buy it just to measure the angle between the berths

ZeldaTheSwordsman: Thanks for the link tho, because the measurement info actually gave me the angle measure I was after. The berths are at 15-degree offsets which makes the outer angle at where they meet 165 degrees.
