Oh, yaaaaaaaaaaa! Although I prefer a stout (cellar temperature, of course!), I've got a handful of bottled draught with the widget rocket in the ref., which will surely enhance the Christmas eve experiance! But man can't live on stout alone; I have a caase of Carlesburg in the celler (see my...

BTW: Jeff, don't listen to the 30" naysayers. There were plenty of real 30" pikes all over the US and close to the same in Europe. Same for Asia. NGSL has a monthly column that covers nothing but prototypical 30" pikes. If you scratchbuild your loco's, or bash them from N scale mechy's like...

On30 is "O" scale 1:48 with 30" between the rails (i.e. gauge). On30; "O" is the scale, "n" is narrow gauge, and 30 is the gauge of the track. Likewise, HOn30 is HO scale 1:87 with 30" between the rails. n30 can also be called n2 1/2 for 2 1/2 ft. Most gauges are listed in feet in the...

Strongly agree with Summit's recommended reading. If 4L and the mentioned mags arn't 'nuff to wet yer whistle, get NGSL gazette. Not 100% logging, but most of it you can apply.

Same kit? Check NWSL's site or call 'em? (they are beter at phone calls than e-mail)

Plymouths and EMDs. Why? Hell, I dunno. I guess Plymouths are just plain cool, and I've played with real ones, and EMD's make great loggin' diesels. Athern SW's are good runners and cheap. Earnst gears make's 'em really rock. GP7/9's are another good choice! Roll yer own! Most of the...

Great links! The one featured in the top link would be fun to try and emulate using the docksider cascademan posted. Cut back the tank, replace the cab, add some detail parts...

The reason you can't find one in HO (standard gauge), is because the old Porter is a narrow gauge loco (HOn3, HOn30, On30, etc.). The standard gauge equivelent 0-4-0T exists in HO and you have pictured it in post#3. If you try to build the narrow gauge 0-4-0T Porter in standard gauge, in HO, it...

Holy cow, Belg, you speak the lingo (hence the name belg)

Mac, you don't want to stop antidepresents, steroids or hormones suddenly. What happens is you take it to suppliment a deficiaency, then your body stops producing it naturally as it is provided by the pill. So if you stop the meds suddenly, you end up with a super-deficiency. High...

Mr. Fly, your modeling and English are both quite excellent! And what better way to display your buildings than beside ceramic chix in mini-skirts? Why didn't we think of it! Why are you having trouble with the scale? Is it the math? Is it conversion of prototype (1:1) to HO (1:87)? Or...

Hi 77, if you are looking for faded out paint, it might be best not to thin the paint at all. What I do is put a little paint on a rag or paper towel and wipe it on, then wipe it off, like wood stain. The less paint, the better. I usually do this to 2 ft strips before cutting or assembly. You...

Common practice is to scribe the styrene with a hobby knife and a straight edge, then bend it to snap it off. I usually scribe both sides. Similar to cutting drywall or plexiglass.

Months, hell, Bob, that was years...

Jimmy, as I said on 2g: Here I'll add, I really appreciate your stopping by 2g to let us know the status. You did a good thing, Jimmy, and as Chris said, it's over now. The healing can begin.

Is the Alco having an indenty crisis, or are the gaugers suffering motive confusion? :rolleyes: Either way, it's a lovely ride for some LPB! :D :D :D

Salamat Po, Kuya Farouk at Drew! (Thank you sirs, Kuya Farouk and Drew!) I am nmot 100% happy with the color of the shack, the roof is right, but the walls should be lighter green. So it will probably get a paint job on another day.

That was done in a magazine article a few years back, and the guy cut power to half for the train in back if it reached the block before the lead train.
