    have you ever had to leave NEGITIVE feedback on ebay?

    Unfortunately, yes As both a buyer and seller. From selling just due to non-paying bidders (so far, knock on wood); and from buying because of the seller's poor packing methods allowed the items to be damaged, or the container breaking open, during shipping. A boxcar tossed into a paper...

    Tightest radius for HO

    That's going to be a really tight circle in HO, having a radius of slightly less than 9". Remember, R=½D with D being the width of the platform (18"). You'd be looking at using just over 1&frac12 3-foot sections of flextrack. I'd tack up a 'test track' and try that first before...

    use ebay or forum to sell loco?

    You can list them on eBay and use a reserve price - as long as someone is willing to bid above that price, they'll sell. You can also note that they are posted for sale in the classified ads of some websites, and as such are subject to be withdrawn due to sale from said classifieds. Pete

    Link: Constant Lighting (interesting approach)

    Thanks for that link, Jon! I'm gonna have to get me some of those... I found that Jameco carries them here. A search on the Radio Shack website showed nothing... Jon, I think I have a circuit diagram somewhere for using a rechargeable battery as you mentioned; I'll have to dig it out and draw...

    Thats been about the only thing on the news up this way. The hurricane (Juan) hit just west of Halifax near high tide Sunday evening. Combining it's forward speed of about 40mph with it being just below a category 2 rating, it had the effect of a high category 3 hurricane in the Halifax area...

    Buy trains from Ebay? What are you looking for?

    I've bought the great majority of my equipment and trackage through eBay, and sold some un-needed items a while back. As long as you know what you want, are willing to wait, and don't jump all over the first one you see, there are many bargains to be had. Availabilty is the biggest reason, as...

    Canadian SD 7/9s??

    My 1986 edition of Kalmbach's Diesel Loco Rosters shows the SOO as having one SD9 (#2381); maybe it 'wandered' occasionally. No other Canadian lines showed any on the list then, although they may have previously owned some as the units were around 30 years old at that time. Pete

    Source for MV products lenses?

    Your lucky day....check out the Cascade and Pacific Railway's website and click on their 'Summer 50% off' sale. Lots of detail parts from Details West and Detail Associates, with MV Products down toward the bottom of the alphabetical list. I've dealt with them a couple times, and had great...
