Railroad/Model railroad discussions

[kc9hiy]

Just looking for someone out there that would like to talk about railroads or model railroads on HF. #Any takers?

[k4avl]

If I ever hear that subject on the air, I'd surely join in. Maybe you could start a net on 40 for that and find a few takers. I get on some mornings with my coffee, and hate to bust into an old gents club that's already tight, but do like to chat a bit.
If you want, I can send you a good list of my bookmarks where I go to chill out, with all sorts of pictures, as well as some discussion boards, but that's computer stuff. Good luck with the idea.

I'd chime in.

Sign me up!

I don't know that much about trains, but would love to listen. Who knows, I might even learn something. Post a time and place and I will try to make it.

Let us know day, time, and freq. I'll be there.

Many years ago I worked on the Turbine Powered trains that ran from New York to Buffalo and were built by ROHR Industries in Chula Vista, CA under license from ANG in France. I worked as a Field Service Engineer and Maintenance Instructor for ROHR.

If you can find an aussie friendly time on the weekend I wouldn't mind seeing if I can get across! Used to be a bit of an N-scale model railroader myself years ago...

That sounds like a cool net in the making. I used to own a hobby shop that sold mostly N and HO scale goodies. I really enjoyed the train shows. I was also involved in 12" to the foot scale. Our club had 4 miles of track, 2 locos, and 25 pieces of rolling stock. That was a blast.

I never heard of anyone try railroad mobile on HF. I have done VHF and UHF mobile during live steam excursions. That got some interesting looks from other passengers.

I can only work 10 through 20 meters on HF, but maybe I can link to you via IRLP on 2-meters. Otherwise, trying to cover Guam, Australia, and most of North America simultaneously will be tough.

[WA9UAA]

Yes,
I am interested, guess we need to come up with a time and frequency. Only wire dipoles here though.

On Friday nights on 3.930 there is a net called the C&O/B&O net that meets around 7 PM CST. The net is out of Ohio and we get guys from all over the states check in. I have not been on much, but we pretty much talk anything rail or ham related!!

When I upgrade to General I would love to join in.

[kc9hiy]

Usually when I get on the radio, it's after 7pm on weekdays, or the 10am-12pm timeframe on weekends. #We could set up something in the 40m General band for a weekday....
