One place to find FRED Richmond Controls has FREDS. Here is their site... http://www.richmondcontrols.com/

GHQ pickup w/topper & Pickup with rack Look like Navy EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) vehicles. Just paint flat olive green. Norscot Construction Minis Just about N scale and only $1.94 at Wal-Mart Some airlines are using 4WD farm tractors for pushback JD and MF tractors from Wiking...

I've been out doing some other stuff recently, and haven't been near the computer. I believe I backed those up on CDs and have yet to sort through them. Gimme a week or so and I'll get some stuff uploaded... Fair winds and following seas...

Found this...

I have to agree, I love looking at the beautemous Overlands and what have you, but do you know how many heroin sales I have to make to get that kind of money? Plus the bribes, illegal labor costs and the rising costs of distribution? Cmon, I barely have enough left to fund my international arms...

Looking forward to seeing some pics... I had some (crack) pipe dream about putting in a pier with a FFG-7, until I realized the ship would be about 3 ft in N scale....wow, cigarettes or RHIBs sound much more attractive now. I am still entertaining ideas about a modern motor lifeboat. Good news...

Placement precludes printout I think my station will be more or less one of the centerpieces, hence the manicure. I have thought about the multi-tones of paint. Maybe a detail roller and some various matte and semi-gloss finishes, might give the right effect. I'll start looking out the...

I'm trying to come up with some landscape ideas. Does anyone have a good technique to create realistic N scale mowed lawns? I am thinking about having such in and around some of my structures. And does anyone have a technique for creating the "golf course' crosshatch swath effect? Or is it...

further info... I just spoke with my dad, who is building the RH. He emailed Heljan directly and is waiting to hear back from them. Maybe they'll cough up some e-directions too. I'll keep you posted. Sunburn ps: my screenname came from my biggest fear...

Sk(1?) Leave it up to an SK to keep his paperwork! Yes, that is the one! Thank you! I'll give you an email account when you are ready. Again, thank you, for this and for keeping the geedunk stocked Sunburn (current STG2):wave:

Does anyone have instruction sheets from the Heljan #802 Roundhouse? I was going to build the kit for someone, but after opening the kit, it had no instructions. There's gotta be some copies somewhere? Any and all help is appreciated.

If anyone wants some fictional container labeling (for printing out on decal film), let me know. I ginned up some Weyland-Yutani designs (see if anyone gets it), so if I ever put an intermodal unit on my layout(s), I'll be set. I can come with plen'ny of idear's, I just need an outlet for 'em!

This would be perfect for my layout ideas. No heavy industry, just a car or two....hmmm http://www.shuttlewagon.net/index.html

EMD photos I noticed the grating over the windows, is it for what I think it is?

There is one other variation you could play with. The concept of a non-dedicated airstrip. Think of all the ANG and Reserve facilities, not to mention OLF (OutLying Fields) that are at commercial airports. In the Twin Cities the Hiawatha Line LRT runs right between and alongside facilities for...

The biggest market, I would imagine, is people buying for their kids. What kid with a train wouldn't love some of those cars? I had a passel of beer cars when I was younger. Not that my Mom loved them, but my Dad got a great deal on them. Miller, Michelob, Olympia and another I forget.:)

Back in the April 05 issue of MR there was a great article about a OO layout, Burton-On-Trent. Here is a link to read about it. You do have to register though. http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/005/722vvoow.asp

Roads I remember when I was little, we had family friends who OWNED an entire little town, Ludlow, out in the middle of the Mojave. It was right in the middle of Edwards AFB, Twenty Nine Palms MCS and other...ahem...bases. Lots of great activity. Broncos buzzing by at 200 ft, LAVs and M1s...

Desert scenery A little late in the game, sorry. Pelle Soeeborg is the undisputed master of scenery. He did a jaw-dropping layout in MR last year here is a link to his site with the stated scenes. http://www.soeeborg.dk/hobby.htm
