    The Regression of Model Railroading

    Changes: good or bad I have lurked here for quite a few years, commenting only once in a while. In one of the MRR magazines, they told about one mans layout. From what I read, he was pretty much a professional. The deadline for print was fast approaching, so they shot the pictures, found out...

    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] - Part VI

    ike Jeffrey, you got it worse than I did. The "eye" went directly over me. A couple broken pecan limbs is the only damage. I don't think my power even flickered, but others a mile away lost power. Only 1 3/4 inches of rain. You were on the east side, and that is the worst place to be. I guess I...

    On Track, with Deano

    Mobile home park Hey Deano, since you go to Janesville quite often you must go past that mobile home park on the corner of Riverside Dr. and Townline Rd. Does it still look in good shape? One of my girlfriends from 65+ years ago lives there. Just curious Lynn

    E Bay

    For what it's worth, I'll toss this bone to everybody. I needed 2 LGB locos of a specific size. I won them on Ebay. That is the only connection I have with this place. Fast shipping and immediate communications blew me away. They are "thefavoritespot". Seems like they had a bunch of On30 stuff...

    12 wheel to 8 wheel loco change?

    All them wheels Without knowing style loco or track radius, I can only throw out a possibility. Is it possible that the trucks are not able to turn enough to follow the curve? Sometimes they bind, or catch on the coupler or frame causing it to derail. I have some 6 axle diesels that jump...

    Gustav Jeffery, I'm about 150 os so NW of you. When it gets to you, put some brakes on it. It will be slowed and smaller by here, but I'm not exactly fond of any of those big thunder-bumpers that blow hard. Either that or turn it north. Lynn

    Whoops !! Galloping Gooses!!

    galalloping gooses Speaking of Galloping Geeses and Hobbled hens, I'm working on a couple of Whatchamacallits. Not quite finished, and definitely need to go to the body shop and a paint shop. Workers are very slow, so I'll show what I have, just in case they never get done...

    Chat Room

    chatroom I got 2 questions, one the forum, and one the chat room. When I got to the chat room, it shows my name over on the right under chat room. One time it showed another name, too. Does that mean there is another person in the room? I messaged, but no answer. I went to click out, and got a...

    Chat Room

    Chat....? Room.....? I got into the chat room 1 (one) time and chatted a bit. Since then, I have never found anyone there. What is room 18? 19? mean? When I get there (eventually) I see a room7, or 10, or whatever. Am I just in the wrong room to find somebody? Lynn

    info I thank everyone for your info. Now knowing about the FPS showed me what to look for. The local Office Depot handles Pentax, and I think the Pentax A40 sounds real good. She's fixin' to go look when she gets time. She is a Patriot Guard Rider, and has a couple rides to take care of...

    speed She is not interested in a movie type mode. It is more just being able snap one a second, or thereabouts, and not having to wait 2-5 seconds between pics. Would I look for FPS, or would that be for movies? Thanks for the answers Lynn

    My South Chief, do I have your permission to send a copy of My South to my brother in Maine, and a sister in Wisconsin? There are a couple other yankees I have in mind, too. Lynn

    Thanks George. That 2.5 and 3 FPS, is that movie type, or can you single snap up to that amount. She also wants it to fit in a shirt pocket, and possibly a 3X+ optical. I think if I pushed her for more goodies, she probably would want it to self-snap and end up with exactly the picture she...

    This doesn't have anything to do with RRs, but this is the only place I know to get information. My daughter is wanting a new camera that can almost continuously snap pictures without a wait in between. Like snap, snap, snap. Does anyone here have any recommendations? So many of you take such...

    Chat Room Link

    Chat Hey, that really sounds great. Now, another question, Is there, or, will there be a direct link to it, or do I have to type in that URL each time? I just clicked on the link you gave and all I got was a decorated blue box. An hour or so ago I went there and saw a couple names and such...

    Chat Room Link

    chat room? OK, I know there are no stupid questions, but how about a question for Stupid? I see this chat room stuff all the time, so I clicked on the new something or other you posted, and got into a blue space that said I entered at such and such a time. I got there, but WHAT IS a chat room...

    Now What?

    Are you sure? I don't know what you said, but I won't argue the point. I tried Google and everything else I could think of, and all I got was that that page couldn't be shown. It finally came up today on my old (bookmark??) or whatever that icon is on my desktop. All I care about is that I...

    I'm lost

    Something doesn't seem quite right to me. I guess I'm just dense. I posted a reply to a thread about depots today (or yesterday, depending on time). This has happened before, that when I make a post, the thread just doesn't come up anymore. I searched "depots", got the thread, posted, and now I...
