I am also an Australian but I steer clear away from "Ocka" . Give me 4 to 6 weeks traveling around the good old U.S.A. and I will come with an accent, ask my family, it happened 28 years ago. I think that in the main you Americans pronounce your words a little more accurately than the English...

Disappearing act part 2 I type mine up in Word then copy and paste ( have to do this I am a terrible speller and I too take a month of Sundays to write what I need to say). Tom

Kato unitract It's a Double crossing, very neat, no bad reports, apparantly every body thinks highly of them, however it is not a low cost item. I am very happy with the laying down of my track and turnouts, no soldering and you can place track in the most out of the way places and while Kato...

I am in the process of laying some N scale Kato Unitrack but I do not know what the width of item WX310 is. I do know that it is 310mm long but total (road bed to road bed) and track centers.

I too am from "Down Under" (Gippsland) there is a small but very helpful place in Stradford just out of Sale. I cut my teeth by reading Model Railway (US) and bought a lot of gear from the US. I would agree with all that Tillsbury has said. Dorcas

I have been directed to this web site by another RR fan. I have been rather slow in getting involved in the hobby via the Internet. This site is truly amazing, the kind help, the broad scope of many people just goes to show how diverse faceless people are giving their attention to others (from...

It seems to me that there are many Amateur Radio operators who use their Ham hobby for other interests. After retirement and going to live in a country town I helped to establish a Community Radio Station. Then I was made a come back to RR—then the bug got me, I was directed to 3 forums, Atlas...

I have always felt that although someone may defeat me, and I strike out in a ball game, the pitcher on the particular day was the best player. But I know when I see him again, I'm going to be ready for his curve ball. Failure is a part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all...
