My youngest grandkid just turned 2 last week and my oldest is 5. I just receive a lionel O scale Thomas set and set it up on the floor today to break in the engine. The 2 year old was thrilled to help papa G run the train. I was told the bigger size seems to help the small ones. It seems to work...

I will be modeling the late 30's, if and when I start my layout. I pushed it up so I could use small critters with my steam. Back when I modeled HOn2-1/2 I had a lot of problems keeping the kit bashed N scale steam engines running. I am talking early 70s. So with my new On30 layout I'll push the...

I went out this weekend and bought a two foot by eight foot piece of pink 2” foam board. I had Lowe’s cut it into 2-two foot by four foot pieces so I could get it into my P/T Cruiser. When I got home I placed the tongue and groove sections together, making a four foot by four foot by 2” thick...

Hmmm, setting up a test track to break in some engines on plus a train show on Sunday. Wimpy Wiscasset & Carrabassett Ry. The biggest, littlest railroad, down east

I don't want management anywhere near your forum. She already has ideas on how to make the life of a model railroader uncomfortable. She doesn't need any new ideas. She is doing fine on her own Lol. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Wimpy Wiscasset & Carrabassett Ry. The biggest, littlest...

When I bid on e-bay, I know what I want to pay, including shipping and handling. I place my bid on things just listed. If I win, great. If I loose, oh well I just saved some money. I will not pay more than $20.00 for a On30 car or more than $25.00 for a porter or $35.00 for a Bmann 2-6-0. I have...

Matthew Sorry to hear about the death of you friend. I am going to a train show in Fallriver, MA Sunday or as they say around here, "Fallreeve". Wimpy Wiscasset & Carrabassett Ry. The biggest, littlest railroad, down east

Hi Wayne New to this forum. Great work. I love the muddy water look you have done. What did you use for the water. Details, details, details please. I hope my water turns out half as good as yours. Wimpy Wiscasset & Carrabassett Ry. The biggest, littlest railroad, down east

Hi Bernhard I think it very nice work. The only problem I have is would the flat cars of that time period be able to carry both halves. The two together must come close to the max. weight the car can carry. The two of them together sure looks to heavy for the car. But then again it is your...

I think you are looking at the canvase (SP?) cover of the sling used to pick up the log or a block of wood under the sling. If it is the two white slashes in the middle of the car, that is. Huh! Now that I look at it, the sling seems to go under the car a come up on the farside. Strange, as if...
