Congrats on reaching 1000. I remember years ago when I reached..... Ok...I'm showing my age.

Ok..... How come the light in my office isn't working?

Same here. Only cause of horror stories like this one.

THOSE ARE EXCELLENT! Working in the plastic industry before(2000-2005). I suggest two conveyors that comes out from the bottom of the machine. One for the "sprues" that'll lead to a grinder for recycling, and one for the finished product. These are usually supplied with new machines.

I have a whole Atlas SDP35 that I got at a show(buy one SD35, get one free) I'm not going to do anything with. I just need the handrails cause I lost the handrails to the regular SD35. Interested?

Thats great news Charlie! I quit for a year one night..........

The early October rising sun brings out the fall colors as the Litchfield Hills hurries its commuters to Hartford past CNE's SD70M, parked at Ore Hill.

If I'm guessing right, Larry's gon is an Athearn also. These were sold with different type loads(Mine came with the scrap load). I've seen them with those green pipes, the coils(which Larry has)and a different scrap load. Larry and I could trade loads, without any modifications to the cars...

Another cool idea for a "Lets see your..." thread. Walthers 63' Centerbeam with GP plywood (removable)load. Next two:Athearn 50' flats with "threaded rod" loads.(Actually, 1:1 8-32 screws with the heads sheared off[Came off my threading machine]) Athearn(MDC) 50'flat with Wally-World...

Cheap Thrills $2.00 at a tag sale(Gee...I don't think it works anymore. Give me $2.00). Little cleaning of the track. Clean and lube the cars. Test the wall-warts and throttles. And a thirty year old Tyco slot car track is running again. Put a big smile on my face!!!! Unfortunatly the cars...

Heres another thread, that someone asked the same question, that have some pretty good suggestions on what kind of controllers are good. http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=162976

Easy boys. Calm down. I know winter's coming but we don't need any fires started here. Looks to me like Matt(If you all had read the last line of his post!), said he could only find a couple of websites with very little imformation. So he did do a net search. Matt was hoping that someone had...

Waynes right. I bought a two ounce bottle four years ago. Still using it, though it is starting to get low.

I googled for a book by Richard Borkowski. Didn't find any books, but he did write a couple of articles about Sand Patch in Railpace Magazine.Excellent magazine, if anybodies interested. My father is a subscriber, and sends me issues when he's done reading them. Lots of pics, hot railfan spots...

After checking out the pics I took for this thread, I noticed that I still have some air bubbles. Poking these with an X-Acto blade and reappling Micro-Sol will take care of these. I even apply Micro-Sol to decals that are on a flat surface. This helps keep the decal in palce.

I use Micro-Sol exclusively! I usually apply it after the decal has set for awhile. This picture shows my F59PHI I'm working on, with the decal set I'm using in the back. You can see where the Micro-Sol, snuggled down the stripe into the corrugations.

I have the MRC "Sound & Power" power pack. Its about fifteen years old and was made at around the dawn of bringing sounds to layouts. The steam sound is kinda cool, but the diesel can be annoying. And the horn is run by a slider, so its more generic "blast" than anything. If you had a big bass...

Not an expert, but a guess. I do see a lot of tiny little holes in the scenery. A couple really sticks out and looks like where the Real Water might of seaped out. Try plugging them up with some of those rocks you have. Then try re-pouring only a little bit in the spot you plugged.

Real life background with a model... Cool idea...Thought I'd give it a shot.

Man......I thought this was a new thread when I was reading it...Then I noticed the year it was first posted. I don't care what you all think of the show. Its popular with the kids, and thats should be the most important thing. When you have two 1:1 scale Thomases touring North America, with...
