Reports can often tell you why a build fails, or why a particu-
lar car isn’t moving.
If all else fails, the JMRI user group on Yahoo is very active, and
its members are more than willing to help you find the source
of the problem. The program developers monitor the list and
contribute regularly. The URL for the group is:
I monitor that group as well, so if you have a problem, feel free
to post a question there. If you can’t find a solution to your
problems, contact me via email at:
and I will work with you to find a solution.
Dennis Drury first became interested in trains
at the age of 2. And later, his love of trains led
him to go to work for the Southern Pacific in
the signal and engineering departments. He
also spent some time in Colombia building a
1:1 railroad from the ground up.
Dennis' previous layout, featured in the
article, was dismantled when he moved to
Reno last year. He is currently building an
HO scale layout based on the Southern Pacific line from Klamath
Falls to Chemult as it was in 1984. It will include trains from the
Burlington Northern, Oregon California and Eastern as well as the
Klamath Northern railroads.
Dennis is working towards NMRA Master Model Railroader and
currently has three of the seven
certificates required.
