LOL we went through that a few years ago, once we got the basement cleaned out I realized that I had room for a layout! Rick

Not joking here but how about dividing it into pros, mid level builders and amatures? Rick

Squid, ok so thats how you do it. I'm glad you posted that before I got a start. Thanks Rick

Eric is that how it looks now in the new house? Yer a lot further ahead than me....LOL Rick

NYNH&H, dude chill, some of us stated that you were not completely inform on the subject and suggested that you present both sides of the debate like this article in the news today,(http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,258462,00.html), we didn't call you any names. That is one of the reasons that...

Very nice looking unit there! Sounds like a good price too! sign1 thats all????? But I shouldn't talk, I don't even have my track yet and I have 14 engines (plus two more on the way) and don't even have track laid.....i have about enough cars to put 3 or 4 cars behind each engine.....:D . Rick

I'm not a kitbasher...yet....I do have several unbuilt structures but with the house renovation going on and the dust from that floating around I'm not sue I want to start building those yet:( . Give me a couple of months:thumb: . I got some challenges for you though......WEG:D .....how about...

Kids and trains are always great for pictures and they love em so much! Thanks for sharing those shots! Rick

Driving does reflect the type of driving. If you know what you are looking at you can tell if a driver likes to corner fast (oldest son), jack rabbit starts and hard braking (#3 son). The real reason for rotating tires is that the front tires on a car or truck have a bit of toe-in and caster...

Morning all. Started more tear out yesterday. Also started to add detail parts to a Kato SD45. Was in the low 50s and expected to be the same today with rain mixed with snow tonight. I know spring is here! The geese that nest on our creek came back yesterday morning! Have a great day! Rick

Renovo, the coal loads coming through west Mn from ND are all coal. I never counted but I'd guess at 100 or more cars per train. Most of the time they are running more modern engines (2) but sometimes you will see older engines like some GP's and then they will have 3-5 engines depending on type...

Yes we know that the earth warmed and cooled for a very long time but we only know temps for sure for about the last 110 years. Temps before that are a mere guess. Many scientist of very good reputation don't agree with the global warming theories. and in fact the average temp has gone up less...

John hope all is well. Morning everyone! What a great day! I love Mondays!!! Still working on the house......I did get a chance to look over my new rolling stock and engine over the weekend. Supposed to get in the 50's again today. Have a great day. Rick

Like to see a list of clubs for the US state by state. Rick

Makes me wonder about the 6 or 7 lead scientist who were working on the UN global warming and quit because they say that it's junk science that is putting out the global warming data and the warming we are seeing right now is just a natural warming of the earth? Man thats a lot of coal. The...

Really great idea. From the looks of it you are also a skilled work worker, nery nice. Rick

Morning all, mother in laws bday......72, wifes great grandmother will be 99 next week. Lot of snow melting here now! Supposed to be in the 50s the next few days! Rick

All of my modern engines have can motors, the gears are in the trucks. Looking at them closely and the only wear that direction would affect is not gear wear, it would be wear on the wheels were they make contact with the track and the frame to truck pivot point. There is no side stress put on...

Agreed, you are not reversing the direction of force on the gear teeth my turning the engine around and running it the other way around the track. I'm thinking someone started that as a joke and now that its getting around at train show and on the net is really laughing his/her *** off. The...
