Trestle and Bridge Building Supplies for the Model Railroader. Black Bear Construction Company's primary goal is to provide hobbyists at all levels with durable, precision tools that allow the trouble-free construction of timber bridges and trestles. Our jigs allow the beginner to build that first timber trestle; and, they allow the master builder to concentrate on details and finishing rather than building jigs.

Micromodels USA
Pop
Hot!
What exactly is a Micromodel? Micromodels are card or paper models that were originally sold from the 1940's through the 1960's. Most were designed by Geoffrey Heighway. Each model was made up of several small cards illustrated with the pieces of the model, all wrapped up in a label. You could cut the pieces out and carefully assemble an intricate little three-dimensional model. Micromodels were known for the amazing details that people would add to customize their models. There were more than 100 original Micromodels of all types. Many people still collect them.

NXSYS Subway Simulator
Pop
NXSYS is an application for modern versions of Microsoft« Windows« that recreates for you the experience of controlling switches, signals, and trains in the New York City Subway system. Rather than conventional menus and toolbars, NXSYS presents to you the exact same user interface as so-called "Entrance-Exit" "pushbutton interlockings" present to New York City subway towerpersons, except that instead of pressing buttons with your finger, you click with the mouse. And instead of commanding real trains full of people, NXSYS simulates them cybernetically. You see the same display, get the same options and responses, must learn the same skills, and may enjoy the same pleasures as a towerperson at an "entrance-exit" interlocking.
There is no more comprehensive, detailed information source on New York Subway Signalling publicly available, or perhaps even to insiders. This is THE way to learn about New York City Subway signalling. And it's for free, fun, interactive, extensible, and assumes no prior knowledge.

ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries (ETC-PZL) Locomotive Simulator
Pop
The full functional simulator with the six degrees of freedom motion system of the EP09 electric locomotive for the Polish State Railways is meant for training and exercise train driving skills in normal and malfunction situations and also training drivers to behave in emergencies and dangerous events. (This is the Ultimate train simulator, if you have very deep pockets. It would be cheaper to buy a real locomotive...)
When I added this link in 2000, the graphics looked very advanced. Now you can have better graphics with one of the train simulators for your desktop computers. Of course it won't have the realism of this unit's controls.
