Man, there's a hugh difference in clarity between 2 and 4 MP!

Sounds like a cool project Tweet, glad to hear your bring the old loco back.

Ha Sammi, welcome to the gauge. My guess would be the button is stuck down. try tapping on it or giggling it sideways to see if will pop back up. Just guessin' thou.

Ha Eddie, I think your problem is more due to loss of mosture than temperature differance. Basements collect mosture during the warm mouths, and loss it in the winter. Also your plywood was new then, which means it will shrick some as it "cures". If you seal your plywood top and bottom with a...

Some nice shots Tom, now many megapixels is your camera?

That's nice work Neil!

Nice fix Xavier, What did we do before Home Depot? btw, I never throw anything away.

Gee, you guys must have been alot nicer than me this year. Ha Terry, trade ya a lump of coal for a bottle of rye?

That's right Lynn. Glycerin is used to preserve flowers and folage. In short the material to be preserved is allowed to dry slightly, say a day or two. Then it's placed in a solution of 1:1 glycerin and water. It takes a week or so for the material to absorb the glycerin. after which it's...

Ha Shaun, UPS ships lots of trailers pigback on railroads

Ha Ralph, since HO is 1:87, and a mile is 5280' you can divid that by 87 and get 60.69' to a HO scale mile. That known you can divid the feet of track by 60.69 to find the scale miles of track. As for speed, if your train covers the 60.69' in 1 minite ,it would be doing 60 scale mph. If your...

Welcome to the gauge John, cool forum you have there. :wave:

Good looking rolling stock Blake

Steve, It looks like we have a full boat on this one. Someone scoot over.

Good one Fred, I have a couple pieces of rolling stock that are derailers. :D

Ha Xavier, Liqiud smoke is a light viscosity oil that is heated, but not burned in the loco. It works on the same principal as fog machines they use at concerts and the like. I guess vapor would be a better word for the results, since "steam" makes one think of water. I'd say that coal dust...

Thanks Tyson, Company helicopter ah, just what are they diggin' out of that mine? :D

Ha 3phase, I think I'd stay away from the heat gun. You should be able to gently bend the railing back into shape.

Has anyone tried using wooden matches as beams, etc. I thought about it today when I was lighting the stove out in my barn with those "kitchen matches" It looks like they would scale out to about 8"x 8" or 9"x 9" in HO. If nothin' else they cheap, 69 cents for a box of 250. They also seem to be...
