    Do you work for a railroad?

    Speaking of such. I finally gained seniority in something other than my job in the lawn business. I'm finally a senior member! I never thought I'd see the day for that so now I do have some railroad seniority. It's only good for model's, but hey, it works lol. :)

    Do you work for a railroad?

    Well, I never worked for the railroad and alway's wanted to growing up until I found out about the whole not able to have a life thing, so I thrashed that idea. But in my early teen's I went down the street and on to a set of tracks behind the neighborhood. I hung out down there so much that I...

    KCS fan's, listen up!

    Beautiful car's. I didn't get to see them for long except about 30 seconds moving around 45-50mph plus I was running my mower on the job so I had to pay attention to what I was doing to so I didn't tear anything up. Is there a side shot looking right at the car?

    Is gravel a good material for a road bed?

    Mike, I don't recommended using just any kinda gravel. Some guy's do even sifting dirt for landscape but again, not recommended. The ballast that you buy has undergone a wash process of chemical to clean it and then baked to dry and kill any last living parisites that might be living in it then...

    coupler..why dont they stay coupled

    These thing's are great. I've had less problem's out of them than I have Kadee's. Our club also use's Kadee's as the standard so I have 2 conversion car's that way I can couple into any train.

    Something for Trucklover and the rest of you who enjoy big rig's!

    lol, duck tape will fix anything. I'm just a bit concerned about the chassis fitting because the cab of the Athearn having a wider cab which I don't believe is as close to scale as this thing is and with the cab and side skert's being all diecast trying to get the truck to sit flush and level as...

    Something for Trucklover and the rest of you who enjoy big rig's!

    Trucklover, I have some thing's I want to run by you and get your opinion on. I bought one of those new Malibu classic truck's sense our Wallyworld just started carrying them and I have to say the cab's are fantastic. Perfect to scale and the cab profile fit's Bowser trailer's beautifully. I do...

    I like the Dash 8-40B, AC4400 with the Hi-Ad truck's, SD40-2, MP15 AC, SW 1, 9, 1200 and 1500, GP60 the most. One I really like is a SD40-2 but it's no ordanary SD40-2. http://www.6axlepwr.com/NREX_9402.html This is a very nice unit. It sold on Ebay for $1,250.00 *sweat*

    what is this vehicle called?

    I have three Kibri Mi-Jack's. Very nice kit's and can be easly super detailed. Problem is finding super detailing part's for them. :p Well, one of them isn't. It's a over sized forklift with a container face that just slide's on the forks. It's also a Kibri kit.

    Athearn AC4400 very noisy on DCC

    Well, the BB Athearns were known for the noise. If it's a growling nose then put double sided sticky tape on both side's of the motor housing. As for the Athearn RTR I have no idea because I haven't had the pleaser with one yet. A good friend of mine who build's custom locomotives showed me that...

    Kato EMD NW2 locomotive, any feedback ?

    Ummm, I'm not sure where you can get one but they are well worth buying. I just had a bad experiance with 2 SD40-2's only because it was a trial and error run. Over all Kato will pull their share of the weight plus some for sure. I don't have any switchers by them but Atlas makes a very...

    What is it and where can I get one

    Yea, with the picture I see, these were cheap knock off's that were only made to sit on a self and look pretty. They used to give them out at (if I remember right) Shell gas station's when you filled your car up with gas and you got one every time you did. They are N scale but they weren't meant...

    Help! Fast!

    Well, I started with using one of those "cold-heat" soldering iron's then dug out the good old gun. Not one of them worked and nothing is still not working. http://www.electricnose.co.uk/dcc/dcckatosd402rewire.html Go here and look toward's the 1/2 to 3/4 bottom of the page where this guy is...
