Im not usually one to hype a company or website, and I have no affilliations with this one, but I just wanted to say that I have never been treated so very very well with extensive personal attention from the owner himself on a sunday afternoon no less. Check out this website if you havent...

Nevermind. I have found the greatest MRR supplier ever. A gentlemen over at JL innovative design has agreed to custom make them for the same price.

Im looking for this style gas pump in HO http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:4bqOY1vB14vgkM:http://home.att.net/~gbward4/Media/gallery/gulfgas.jpg Now ive come across something "gulf gas pumps" in walthers part 361-619, but it seems to be out of stock for a very long time. furthermore...

Thanks alot! And yes, looks for its comeback in a scratchbuilt coming soon to a thread near you!

I remember reading awhile back a thread with a print out of The Gauge "box" or crate. And ive run a search with no luck. Id like to make a few of these. Can anyone help me find that thread?

I gotta tell you, for a cheapo, that $20 7 volt sucker from wallyworld has proved to be pretty decent. Other that quick battery life, its pretty reliable. And you cant be going cordless!

Code refers to the heigh of the rail. Yes, code 83 is more accurate to scale. I would not recommend mixing the two. Im not sure if code 100 is easier to work with, but my experince is that its more readily available...not that 83 is hard to find, that is just my experience. For me, the...

To answer my own question: My Dremmel. That thing is the best 20 bucks ive ever spent

Ok, ive got a cool question. Besides the obvious razor blade or scale ruler...what is the one tool you cannot live without? Whats the one tool that made your modeling so much easier?

Now I use this for HO, but Ive seen them in different sizes, but those cardboard insulators they put around coffee at the coffee shops have a corrugated inner layer that is perfect for steel. I help myself to them whenever I am able to.

Nothing too big to brag about, but I decided it was time to scratchbuild some residential houses. Heres a stuco house and couple sided houses. And sadly its once again, the return of the fuzzy camera phone pics...which is too bad because you cant see the shingles.

Mixing and matching is fine as long as it stays within code (im told) but I use all flextrack in my layout. As far as the glue question, I used elmers wood glue to glue down the roadbed and it worked fine. It has a faster drying time than white glue and its stronger. But you can still move it...

Im sorry folks, but sadly im gonna have to bow out of this challenge. The parts I desperately needed to build the structure I was going to use are sadly on back order and I cant find them anywhere. But Ill certainly see you on the next challenge TJ

I very gracious gauge member has some fruit in the mail on its way to me. Ill let you all know the results!

Thanks so much for the advice Russ, that is probably my best bet! Now for the real question: what should I use for fruit and veggies?

Hey Folks Ive searched high and low and im having the hardest time finding something. Im working on creating a scratchbuilt market, sort of a farmers market style, with fruit and veggies out front. The only problem is, I cant find the bins or tables that would hold the fruit and veggies. Ive...

Itll be a challenge, im new to scratchbuilding myself, but good luck to you and keep us posted with your progress!

Ok, im going to jump in on this one. No pictures yet, and im quite limited without a layout, but I will be depicting a Gulf gas station at three different times of the day. Now this is still being scratchbuilt, so should I document my progress or just wait until its complete to share pictures?

My greatest moment was watching my loco run across the tracks for the first time. Having never been exposed to MRR in my childhood, and with the help of only the guage, and after countless hours of trial and error, and tedious work, just watching the train doing laps was the coolest moment.

Thanks guys! Got it figured out thanks to you! And im an idiot...I should have read your posts more clearly...the AA is only throwin out 1.5 volts...I hooked up three and it works! And heres a preview of a scratchbuild to come! This is the roof of the storefront! Its a fuzzy camera photo but...
