I may be adding fuel to the fire, but if you read Matt's thread starter, he said he only found a couple sites with little information. That means he all ready did a search and was asking for help. I see no reason for squidbait to respond like that. Matt, if your looking for a good forum, give me...

Sean, there was another thread here about this but I can not find it. Anyhow, i think the threads turned out to be metric. Loren

Have you thought about using a nolix instead of a helix? Helix's use a lot of space. Loren

Actually, i am glad you started this thread. Thank you. I will be building a layout room in my garage next summer and was wondering the same thing. My first thought was like yours, paint the walls blue with clouds. Now i can find out what other modelers do. Loren

First thing to do is find a spot for the coffee maker and fridge for the beer.:twisted: Loren

Chad, i bought one of those little cuties and it ran fine straight from the box. But it would derail in reverse. Turned out the frame was warped and the rear drivers were barely touching the rail:cry:. Took it back and never got around to buying another one. I still think it is a nice loco and...

Looks like you weren't the only rail fan there. Nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Loren

Don't feel lonesome. Last time for me, our car blew the heater core. $289.00. I was all ready to buy a new loco and some buildings. Loren

Me three. Cardboard. Loren

Russ, I thank you. As a diabetic and a former janitor in a hospital, medical waste and "sharps" are not something to take lightly. Proper disposal is a must! Loren

I have had good luck using rosin core solder for a adapter. Put the drill bit inside the solder where the flux was. Loren

A cell phone pic is better than nothing. That is neat! Loren

Exactly! This really sucks! Loren

Hello 9731, nice scene's. I have tried using roofing shingles for roads too, but never thought of sanding them. Great idea. What did you use to make the lines? Markers? Loren

Hey CB, how about this. The price sounds ok, and they should be pretty easy. http://www.erichotz.com/whitewash.html Loren

So Xtrk is working ok for you now? I agree, once you learn Xtrk it is a great program. And people don't realize that since it is a cad program, you can do more with it then just make track plans. I have used it to design a entertainment center I was going to build. Loren

I agree. Every since they changed servers, it's been a real pain in the behind trying to get on.:confused::cry:wall1 Loren

Spinwing, i imagine the file you need is copywritten or something. If it is not in your parameter files, you might join the xtrk yahoo group and ask them. Loren

Hello Mike:wave: I think that is up to you. Personally, if it runs ok and looks decent then i am happy. If it's going to be a frustration, i scrap it for parts. btw, can you internet order parts? They should be available. Loren
