    You gotta see this!

    Amazing work David. You must be the one to answer the age-old question, "How many trains can run on the head of a pin?" :thumb: :thumb:

    Adding Scenery to N Trak Module

    Nicely done Bill. I was thinking of doing the same thing with the moving water effect. Got the idea from an old Hamm's Beer sign. Be sure to let us know how it worked out.

    I have a challenge for you

    A produce transfer would work. There is quite a bit of fruit grown in this region. There isn't a lot of grain grown here. That's more in the plains around the Columbia river. The same with cattle. This is mostly free range cattle country through the Forrest Service, no big feed lots. This is a...

    I have a challenge for you

    That is the entire room. It's a open on the right side with a wall running vertical about three feet from the edge of the table. That side is a hallway so it has to be left open. The outline is the most efficient benchwork that I can come up with while maintaining accessibility.

    I have a challenge for you

    Hello all. I have a challenge for you. The first picture is the upper level of the N scale layout I would like to build, and the second is the lower level. Transition is via two helixes on either end of the benchwork. There are a number of features that I really like about this layout. First...

    I seem to remember a movie. I think it was "Toby Tyler", where the kid put a short length of chain on the tracks. Instant early modern art. :D :D I heard a long time ago that if you put a dime under the front of a locomotive's drive wheel that it would prevent the train from moving. That...

    You're right Renovo, except for taking trips on them I was train deprived as a child. :( What's worse, I lived closer to trains then than I do now. :( :( :rolleyes:

    I can't speak from experience, but it seems to me that the vibration of the rails caused by the oncoming train would cause any coin to fall off. A coin placed on the rail in front of a stopped train would be more likely to be flattened when it started than one in front of a speeding train.

    Dick (Clerk) has had a Stroke. Letter here.

    Regardless of the shortcomings of this age, modern medicine is one of the great strides forward. I'm glad that you could benefit from it Dick. Best wishes. :wave: :wave:

    I have to weigh in on the disciplinarian side of this debate. As a kid I couldn't count the times I got my butt beaten and I can honestly say that it didn't harm me physiologically in the least. I understand the meaning of respect, fair play and humility. Somehow I don't see timeouts...

    Wireless Video Camera

    If your computer has a composite input then you can input video directly into your computer. No need to go through a VCR first. They come as a set, TX, RX and power supply. (9v battery is extra :D )
