That's my guess too :thumb:

Sure, I'd definately wear a "Gauge" button to shows...... :thumb:

I'd strongly suggest searching Ebay for building kits and structures. Even though some people do "pad" the shipping prices somewhat....even still you can find better deals than most hobby shops charge for the same identical kits. I've visited several "local" hobby shops in my area........and I...

Well, I had hoped to get my track all laid out in preperation for the cork process......but I'm not quite there. I need to finnish working out the tracks and one switch outside of my train care repair house..... then I'll be thru.....and ready to trace my tracks and begin laying cork :thumb...

Man, I'm glad that I'm not the only one experiencing problems also :cry: I uploaded a new avatar.....and also tried adding a GIF train to my signature line.....and that's when I started experiencing major problems with the forum.

Those pics are fantastic! That water looks VERY realistic...... VERY impressive!:thumb:

Well, first off I have a few "Honey Do's" to take care of.:D Then I hope to have a clear weekend to begin working on my layout.I need to finnish building my repair house......then I can finally decide on final placement for the repair house...and engine house.........then finnish laying out the...

Fantastic weathering on those cars! :thumb:

Would Liquid Nails (the plywood/subfloor type) work for securing the foam to the plywood top? I haven't laid any track yet on my table......and I think I may go that route as well.

Honestly, I've had good luck with Bachmann and Life Like toy trains. Sure, they might not be as detailed or as prescision made as an Athern,Atlas, or etc. .....but they also don't cost as much either. If you enjoy running model trains that's all that really matters......have fun with it. If...

I believe it was "Model Power" that produces an N scale brewery kit. It's pretty easy to come by....you might try searching on Ebay....I spotted one there last night. :thumb:

Wayne, you're 100% correct..... I guess I should have better stated what I said. I've never seen a single episode of Thomas the tank engine.....but I fully understand the concept behind it...and how it does in fact draw in a younger group of kids (the next model RR generation) to the hobby. In...

Gary, I got that feeling as well. There was one booth that I visited on several occasions that had a bunch of N scale stuff and I was told that a small stack of NIB pre built Bachmann structure kits were 50% off....so I picked up a few as well as some unbuilt Plasticville structure kits. When I...

I've been to the Royal Gorge bridge....man that thing is HIGH! The day my wife and I went there was a STRONG wind......at least 60 MPH......we could barely walk on that thing with it swaying.:D

Wow, that is one incredible bridge :eek: I'd hate to veer off of that bridge....it'd be like falling into a canyon :D
