    Cutting Mats

    I use a 12" X 18" C-THRU cutting mat. I get all of my supplies from Graphic Arts Supply Houses or "Paper Houses" for the commercial sector. I have a business license so I can get the manufacturer prices but the professional quality of the products far outweighs what Retail Store items are in...

    USS Monitor anniversary model

    Papermodelers.com wouldn't allow me to post a link to this on that site so I'm hoping that Zealot will. I'm de-lurking because I ran across a 1/144 model of John Ericssons USS Monitor. http://monitor.noaa.gov/150th/proposals.html The link to the PDF is at the bottom right. Best of...

    I'll agree too. There is just TONS of train video on YouTube. Both model and prototype. From "How To's" to just great Railfanning stuff.

    I was invited by a friend at UC Davis working on her Doctorate. I don't post a lot and none is train related. More a resumé of my professional work history. Ain't much. 27 years of doing the same self employed thing and then my Wire Service (AP-UPI) jobs before that. The big news being that now...

    Manufacturing in China

    Your right It's because we're all so underpaid that it's the only thing we can afford now that our good paying jobs are overseas. Now that the $8.00/hour job I used to have is now going to a 50¢/day worker, the prices at Wal-Mart have dropped soooooo much that I can now afford the little...

    Manufacturing in China

    I grew up in a Union home and have been a member of a few myself. I don't think that the blame can or should be placed on the union workers. All we wanted was a wage large enough to be able to buy the things we were making. When you see the boss riding in a Limo and you have a hard time scraping...

    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] Part II

    Not that you could say it was definitively the Shuttle. Though when it returns to the Cape, the Double Sonic Booms have rattled the windows and the wife's china cabinet. They're BIG, DEEP, Boom-BOOMs... Scoot

    Ahhh, someone who has a "Manual Of Style". Way back in the day (early 70's) I worked for the AP at 50 Rock in NYC and had a Style Manual that gave all of the recommended practices for writing a coherent by-line article. Scoot
