I write this to all present and past moderators, administrators and members. From what I have read (and deduced) we the members should stand up and salute our recent staff. It appears that they would much rather stand up for what they believe is right rather than crumble under and submit...

Don't nobody go no further. Brakie, 88, and now Ralph!!!!:eek: Who in tarnation is gonna run this here show? Look, fella's, I didn't mean it. Honest I didn't. And besides, it wasn't me. I really really really really really think you guys have been doing an excellent job. not only that, but...

I have a question concerning a power pack for G gauge. I keep trains running at a pediatric clinic (2 seperate trains). The Xformers came with an Aristocraft starter set, so they are so-so, but work out OK. They have a slide switch for F-R-Off. Will an HO powerpak run G for a while so I can fix...

For what it's worth, I'll toss this bone to everybody. I needed 2 LGB locos of a specific size. I won them on Ebay. That is the only connection I have with this place. Fast shipping and immediate communications blew me away. They are "thefavoritespot". Seems like they had a bunch of On30 stuff...

This doesn't have anything to do with RRs, but this is the only place I know to get information. My daughter is wanting a new camera that can almost continuously snap pictures without a wait in between. Like snap, snap, snap. Does anyone here have any recommendations? So many of you take such...

Something doesn't seem quite right to me. I guess I'm just dense. I posted a reply to a thread about depots today (or yesterday, depending on time). This has happened before, that when I make a post, the thread just doesn't come up anymore. I searched "depots", got the thread, posted, and now I...

I have a double switch (?), crossover switch (?), or slip switch, which it says on the back. Does anyone know anything about them? I can figure it out, but if I installed it, I would immediately forget about how to work it. Does it have any value? And is anyone interested? This should...

Here is where I show my total ignorance. A friend has a BLI diesel loco, DCC W/sound. All I know is, it is a long one w/3 axles each end. He said it wasn't running (right?), and said here, take it home and check it. Now, all I have is DC. Would this loco run on DC? I can't find how to get the...

THERE IS A MORAL HERE! A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by. The jet jockey decided to show off. The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, "watch this!" and promptly went into a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom...

It is a Buddy L 3 1/2" gauge outdoor train. I had never heard about them, but a friend has one. Does any person have any knowledge about them? Or have an up to date book listing the values? My book is 25 years old, too out of date to do me any good. They were manufactured between 1921 and...

I thought I had seen some pictures here someplace. One was a shirtless biker that if the skin was taken off, all that would be left is a skeleton. He was skinny. Another was a bearded biker. Did I see them on this forum, or was I dreaming? OK all you smart mouths, here is your chance. I left...

I got this in an email Southern Pacific Railroad in the Cascades of Oregon, By Joel Ashcroft Lynn

About a year ago at a garage sale, a lady gave me a standard gauge Lionel, made in 1933. It was in very bad shape. Today, at the train show in Tyler, Texas, I swapped it for a sealed set of IHC Texas Zephyr passenger cars (8), and a new P2K E8/9 Burlington that matched the set. That boils down...

I have here an outstanding, mint condition, like new, very rare HO passenger car. The date of "manufacture" is unknown. Rolls extremely smooth with plastic wheels. Talgo trucks are free moving, but firmly mounted. Wood construction throughout except for metal and plastic parts. Starting bid...

I'm putting this question here, but to me it 'pears to be very technical to me. I read all the time to do searches on the forum. Can you search for and find threads by a specific person? Suppose I wanted to find a thread by EZDAYZ that was say 10 days ago. Can it be done? And if so, how? Lynn

I don't know where this belongs, so I'll start here ands see if it is switched around. No buy, no trade, but maybe a bit for sale. Everything is HO. If there are any for real collectors her interested, I have an HO loco w/tender and 2 cars. It is old and only says "made in Japan". Runs but needs...

I've got 10-12 cars that are probably wood kits. A widow gave them to me at a good price. They need painting, and believe me, that is NOT one of my strengths. They have set on a shelf for several years, and I think something needs to be done to them. A lot of craftsmanship has gone in to them...

I don't know if my recollecter isn't working right, or I've missed something. I haven't seen anything lately by Aussien, Marxed, Woodie, and several others. I just don't recollect their names attached to anything for quite some time now. Lynn
