Re: Re: What's All The Fuss ?? ROFLMAO!!!!:D :D :D :D :D :D Tried it but the other "receptacles" require 440 Volt 3 Phase current!!!:eek: :D :D :D :D :D :D

Bull Identification That bull is known as a "Fulla".....you know....its "fulla bull":D :D :D :D :D

What's All The Fuss ?? I live right on the border of Eastern Time and Central Time and half the work I do is in the Central Time Zone and the other half is in the Eastern Time Zone and when I'm on the radio I go by Coordinated Universal Time so what the heck!:eek: ...I just live on Daylight...

HI Chris, Long time HON3'er here. There really isn't a cheap brass model of a 2-8-2 in HON3. Sunset produced one, k27, a few years back that was around $199. They also made a c-16 in that same series. I wish someone would produce those in plastic for reasonable price. MDC makes a 2-8-0 in...

Val, After reading Larry's post (his went up the same time as mine) I think he is right too. Either the rail is not seated in the tie or the railjoiner is sitting on top of that little "nubbin" on the top of the tie that holds the rail in place. I use turnouts and flex track both with plastic...

Hope This Helps Hmmm Val, It could be something under the roadbed and thats a shame 'cause it alreadys seniced. If you think thats where it is then the only thing to do is pull it up and see. The only other thing that I can see is maybe there is something under the ties right there at that...

Scoob, My prayers are with you, your wife and your son. Sometimes things are the darkest just before the dawn, but the light always shines thru.

Hi Val, What kind of roadbed are you using? Cork, Homasote, or wood or whatever? Are you sure the problem is in the roadbed and not in the benchwork? Often basement floors are not level and that whole section could be a little off....not enough to notice until you put the roadbed down...

Upon Further Review From The Other Side Jon, I have looked even more closely at the last pic you put up...not the one with the man's outline but the one just before it. Look at the head stone (the grey one) behind the one you mentioned. Now look to the to left of that stone. Slightly above the...

More From "The Other Side" Jon, www.coasttocoastam.com take a look for more of the same:D :D Y'all laugh at Jon if you want to:D :D :D If he ain't "spookin" us then he may have captured a ghost for real. There's a large following that believes in that. All I can say is that in my time as...

Hi Deacon, Most any solenoid type switch machine works better on AC then on DC if you are not using a CDU as mentioned by Shamus. The reason is that the cycle of the AC current sorta gives more of a jolt to the solenoid coils. The drawback is that they will buzz when you activate them. Since...

WOW !!!! NEAT !!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The Google search engine www.google.com has put up a beta version of something called Froggle. With this you can shop the internet for a particular item and get page after pages of links, prices and pictures to choose from. For example I searched ON30 and got 10 pages of specific items...

The Final Solution 'Memeber when you was a kid and would put playing cards in the spokes of your bicycle with clothespins?:D :D :D Bingo!!!...Your bike became a motorcyle !!!:D :D :D :D Maybe something in the guts of a plain old switcher to "whack" against the universals would be a...

Hi Tucker, When posting a picture don't preview your post, there's a bug in the software that will delete the pic if you do. Just go straight to Submit . Also be sure that your pic file does not exceed the max of 70,000 bytes. Dave had to limit the size to conserve space. Also something has to...

I'll second what Fred said about the number of circuits. At 110 Volts you would be pulling 19 Amps on a 20 Amp circuit. Thats not enough margin for safety. Although they cost a bit more I think that you will be more satisfied with florescents with daylight tubes to accomplish the twofold...

From my hobby shop days I don't recall Atlas ever making any steel track....Hoooray for Altlas!!!:D :D :D

Re: Re: Fixed It !!! But of course it does.... I just e-mailed a couple to each of you...hope you have a big mail box 'cause I put some 'taters in there too!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Fixed It !!! Hot Dog!!!:) Its up and running:) :thumb: Thanks to everyone who offered their advice!!:) :) :) The problem was in the shorting plug. There was a solder "bridge" between two of the pins. It was finer than a frog' hair:D :D :D and I only detected it by looking at the plug...
