Hello all, I just re-tried hminky's link to his article, and it's all "go" again. Thank you for posting your thoughts. :wave: There seems to be a lot of differing views within the "Narrow Minded" fraternity as to the suitability of HO track for On30. Some say that it is not suitable, while...

Kudos from me! Hi kennyrach, That is very NICE!! I LOVE the rusty corrugated iron.....:wave: :)

Hi again, Bob. Thanks for the link. Some great looking steam loco pix there. I have added them to my collection...:wave: :)

Hi S Class, Many thanks for the great photo. I see the Docklands boys are playing with sectional track in 1:1 scale....:mrgreen: Bewdy!! :wave: :)

Hello all, Thought you might like to see my modifications to the Bachmann Mogul, in order to get it short enough to fit onto my turntable..... All I need now is some lettering and weathering. :)

Hello all, I hoped that there may have already been a thread open on scale model vehicles to compliment our train layouts. Saves me starting a new one. I hope someone can assist me. I am looking for a 1/50, 1/48, or 1/42 scale model of the Willys Jeep truck (or station wagon) that was built...

Meeeee Toooooooooo Many thanks....!!:mrgreen: :)

Hiya Davo, Always good to greet another Aussie on this, the best railway forum on the net. :mrgreen: Hope you didn't get too damp in the big wet just recently. How are things going in British 00 land? I only ask, because, like you, I too went through the period of fitting Kadees to my...

When I was married, I had curfews, in-laws, nagging, back ache from gardening, no money, too many household chores, and more nagging. I also had a small diorama layout upon which to "play trains" (as SHE always called it....) :curse: Now that I'm single again, I'm working on filling the...

Hi Nathan, Nice job, mate!! Good to see some young blood in amongst us 'oldies'. Keep up the good work, and don't let anyone ever tell you not to follow your dreams. :thumb: (I LOVE Tassie!!!.......especially the NW corner...:yep:) :)

Hi Shortee, There is a series of photos of Mogul 'bashes in the 2010 issue of On30 Annual (pp 22-25) and one of them is a saddle tank 0-6-0. You may like to have a look for some ideas. I am currently kit bashing a Bachmann "Bumble Bee" Mogul (hated that yellow!) to a backwoods 2-6-0, with an...

Nice job, Kenny....:mrgreen:

Hi Tony, I purchased the Forney conversion kit from Backwoods Miniatures and it wasn't until it arrived that I realised that it was not designed to suit my wooden cab. :curse: I didn't want to send it back to UK, and not wishing to see it go to waste, I just thought "Why not?" and proceeded to...

Hiya again Bob Chooch, With all the research that you are doing on my behalf, and the assistance that you are giving me, I'll bet that you aren't getting much of your own modelling done...... :steamtrain: Once again, many thanks, mate!!:goldcup...

Hi again Bob, Thanks for your input, and the link. :mrgreen: I have bitten the bullet, and 'bashed up a small tender (from the fuel bunker that used to be the rear end of my Forney) and although it is a bit on the short side, it means that I can now fit the Mogul onto my turntable. I have...

Thank you S class, The Orr track system looks good too!!:yep: :)

Hi Bill, Thanks for the kink - looks good, and I certainly would never had thought of it! :thumb: Chooch.42 gave me a link to The Electric Avenue Easy Street track system, and it involves the correct profile rail, and appropriate turnouts. Looks like the way to go for "new" trolley / tram...

Hello all, I am currently making a few personal and local modifications to a Bachmann Rogers 2-6-0 Mogul. Among other things, I have removed the rear cab wall, so the innards can be seen. If the proportions are correct, it is only 1' 6" from the edge of firebox to the cab wall, and 5' 3" from...

Oh. Thanks, guys. :)

Hi lehcyfer, Thank you for your reply. The problem is that the pix are located on my computer, and the text box is asking me for a URL, commencing with "http://" as a default. Isn't that used as a designator for websites? Please forgive my ignorance, but how do I enter a URL that links to the...
