Penn, congrats and good luck! Got really nice out yesterday! I got 20 cars that I had purchased for a member here this morning in the mail! Guess what I'm doing for the rest of the day! Rick

I'm wondering how much a rail road pays for a new engine? Or for that matter what engines and locos have cost through the years to buy new???? Rick

Squid good point! Rick

After giving it some though I guess my real problem with "bo's" comes down to respect. It seems to me that they don't respect other peoples property. They prove that daily by tresspassing on rail road property and trains, camp on other peoples property without asking and so on. As far as the...

E!!! the answer is E. all of the above!sign1 I love some of the descriptionsannounce1 . I don't buy much on the bay but did look last week at G scales stuff on the recommendation of a fellow Gauger:thumb: . Now after watching that sale and a few other I'm starting to wonder about the sanity...

Your best bet is to search different hobby shops on line for price. If you go to track planning here on The Gauge and ask for help with the track plan question you should get some help.....I'm the wrong guy to ask for that! Rick

HMMMM all my trains run both forward and reversesign1 . When I strt laying track I will have a double main line so both for me:D Rick

You can use any HO track you want to....oh and WELCOME to the guage! Rick

Hi and welcome aboard. I'm working with HO right now but after the @%#* snow goes away going to start a G scale garden layout and later this fall going to build an under the tree N scale table and maybe try my had at end/coffee table layouts also in N. Rick

Haven't done that yet:thumb: ......but I'm sure its like the two groups of muzzle loader shooters, those how have dry balled :oops: (rammed a ball without putting powder in first) and those who are going to dry ball:rolleyes: ....I'm sure as I start laying track I'll be crying too:cry: . Rick

Maybe the real question here should be "would you have hobos modeled on your layout?" To that I would say I may. When I get to that point I would think about because right or wrong they are a part of rail roading. Rick

Dan what a great way to put it, "lifestyle by choice"! Up where I'm at we have a lot of very small towns that don't like outsider very much. My father retired from the Army in 71 and we moved up here. Our Family has been here on this farm since 72. People still refer to it as the "old Kapp...

Ok, lets try it this way. Let say you own a pickup truck and that you are driving from Chicago to NYC. When you arrive in NYC you discover that someone hictch a ride under a trap in the back of your truck.....according to some on here nothing wrong....they didn't steal anything or hurt...

LOL..."give" ya rightstooges8 ! I haven't bought a copy in years but when I did I really enjoyed thumbing :thumb: through it. I don't buy it now because if they want me to buy the stuff they are selling they should just give it to me.:D I also don't wear things that advertises anything...

Morning all, went to Fargo and back this morning. Going to take it easy the rest of the day I think. Nice looking farm there, I don't have the toys but enjoy living on the farm too. We have a couple of pet horses and rent out the crop land. John, New Holland bought out Ford a few years ago...

I didn't vote, there were too many good ones. Rick
