I understand GE experimented with turbine engines (GE-101) for submarines. I know they used diesels in WWII, but not much more about submarine prime movers.

Actually my real interest is finding drawings or blueprints of these early turbine engines, as they were also used in the 1st demonstrator gas turbine locomotive GE built for the Union Pacific.

Any idea where to find drawings of this turbine engine? I've seen a photo or two and a non scale drawing in one of my UP books, but it is not good engine to have a 3D model made from. I want to install this in the #50 Turbine I posted photos of in another thread.

Would a small laser welder be useful in the model train hobby?

That is interesting Wayne. The 1st two are obviously rip off toys that should be banned from being sold.

The Super Laser is incredible and scary at the same time. Some jerk will invariable turn it into a weapon.

Really bad job of photoshopping.

If ticks were blue, I might like them.

Watch out what you wish for. I photographed this blue tick before I pulled it out of me yesterday.

I think that means you're a blue blood by nature.

I regularly see questions like this on model railroad forums: I have an old B&O locomotive with yellow lettering that I picked up; what Kadee coupler should I use on it?

A typical forum response seems to be, "A picture would help."

The Kadee website has this to say about it: https://www.kadee.com/blog/post/april-2 ... r-mounting

So, I went to the Kadee coupler conversion sight that Kadee recommends and read this, " O-Scale is a custom coupler conversion scale.
We don't have specific coupler recommendations for specific locomotives or freight cars like we have on HO-scale or Large scale."
