Art-School trick Hi Steve, For doing watercolour painting on thick stock... Paint the backside of the card first with Latex paint.... The card will warp one way and then when you work on the good side, the stock will warp back to being flat.... I don't think that the glue is shrinking...

Re: Pans Hi Mr. 60103, Why so formal? You can call me Tin. :D I have no clue.

Operates under pans! Calgary Transit C Train

Got some in the mail! On the right track... The post office honours Canada's urban transit and light rail accomplishments

Having done this myself... Most wiring and plumbing supplies are built like Lego.. Everything is colour coded and made to snap together... Pick up a couple of how-to books and away you go... Check with your local building department to get a permit and some pointers. When I moved...

Or just cut a slot.... Instead of cutting groves and using a piece of bent wire, you could cut a slot and insert a piece of brass shim.... I would think that putting the batteries in the roof would make the car top heavy.. So putting them in the floor is a better option.. If the cars...

I was there... Had a great time with the Narrow Gauge Madness group.... The Modules are nearing completion, as far as track, turnouts and wiring. So the goal is for operations at the Christmas Train Show.... Scenery to follow.... Saw Chris and Jeff and David.... Didn't see Val...

Me and my big mouth.... I was surfing through the Canadian Pacific Railway Locomotive Roster and Photo Archives and realized that the ditch lights didn't start to appear on the F-Units until the late 70's. So as I ponder this further, I think that Canadian National started using ditch lights...

If I recall... Canadian railroads used ditch lights right from the beginning of the deisel era... I've seen many Canadian F-units with ditch lights, so SD40-2's would have them for sure... The railroads in the U.S.A. didn't start to use ditch lights until much later...

I saw a comercial on T.V. For a new metalic fingernail polish... I think they said that it contains sterling silver?!?!?! Said to Ruby that I wanted to get a bottle to try out. High gloss chrome finish... I'll take a look at the drug-store to see if they have any. Might be worthwhile...

definitly not foam... Aside from the fact that the foam doesn't hold spikes... As you are pushing the spike into the tie, you are also pushing the tie into the foam... :eek: :eek: :eek: You need a firm roadbed. Homasote is great. I use old cork bulletin boards. 1/4" cork on top of...

CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FINANCING ( CEFX) Decals... MicroScale makes them... I just did a quick Google Search for cefx decals and got 44 hits... 1237 CEFX DIESELS - 2003+ is the catalogue number.....

Price is the difference... For On30, hand laying the track is way cheaper than RTR. There are only two RTR options for On30. Peco or Micro Engineering. And the selection of specialty items is very restricted. I hand-laid over 30 feet of track and 4 turnouts for less than the price of...

Very nice indeed... Cool Icicle breakers... But what is that thing in between the forward pair of icicle breakers? Turbo air scoop, or search lights? I don't see any Spark Arrestors, is that what it is? Here's a picture of the original Canadian Pacific 1412 FP9A in the Maroon Livery...

Where to get Hand-laid track supplies... The LHS sold used rail cheap. It was pre-weathered and sold by the bundle for ~$20CAD, or ~$1CAD for a single 3' length of rail. He got it from model railroaders and/or clubs that were ripping up sections of flextrack and didn't need/want the rail...

The following was posted on The O Scale Traction Yahoo Group... The rest of the Proto 87 Store website is worth checking out too.... Especially the PRECISION STRASSENBAHN SYSTEMS STUFF!!!! And the TRACTION SPECIAL ITEMS!!!

Ya, but... The yard boss is really gonna be ticked-off when he sees that Ol' number 4 is parked beyond the fouling point of that turn-out!! Holdin' up traffic on another line...

Imagine... If they can go to the moon in a Geep.... Imagine how far they could go in a new SD90MAC-H....

Forget Janet... Arrest this man!!!!

Here's the Kicker... I was thinking some more on the subject of inequal justice, which started this thread in the first place. Two things come to mind. If the Police and security had moved in to arrest Janet for indecent exposure and/or any other infraction.... It would likely spark a...
