Looks great Heath. It's nice to see others put the time into a classic loco. I still have most of the locos I had as a child. Most have been rebuilt (restored or upgraded), Brings back lots of great memories.

The proudest moment was when I realized I would be sharing this great hobby with my son. And it keeps getting better as I see him become more involved and talented.

Hi Lynn, Yea, I can give them a good home.

I have most of my "junk" organized in drawers and boxes. Current and future projects are in their own boxes on shelves, parts are stored according to manufacturer and application (loco, rolling stock, Building) in drawers and boxes.

I have an old AHM track cleaning car that I replaced the old foam pad with a piece of cloth. I soak it with windshield washer fluid and drag it in front of a Life/Like track cleaning car with it's original scuff pad. I do this before running trains and have no problems running on brass track...

Hi Guys, Just recovering from our club's display yesterday. Our club set up displays at the Prescott Resort where they hold the worlds largest Gingerbread display. First two are photos of our N scale modular layout. The third is our On30 modular layout. The last 2 are a couple of the...

I redesigned a version of these hi- target stands, they work well for me. http://s145079212.onlinehome.us/rr/howto/switchstands/index.shtml

For less than some of you would be spending on that one highly detailed steam engine I would buy a Bowser Big Boy and Challenger with the super detail kits and a couple of can motors to install in them. and have enough left for 2 ice cream cones.

Most of what I buy is used. more often than not they don't run. Like Don said. There's a certain amount of fun and a lot of pride being able get something you paid $3 for at a train show and make it look and run good. Sorry to be such a bad influence Don.:D :D :rolleyes:

Here's a couple F units I painted.

I take some of my locos and rolling stock to run on other club members layouts, club show and tells and to run at shows. Don, I remember a couple of your locos making it up to Dewey.:D

I'm not sure our hobby budget will recover in time. But you know, stranger things have happened. I may ride down with one of the club members just to look around and talk trains.

I bought this Gilbert Hudson for $15, It was like the one I played with as a child. My wife picked up this Walthers 0 gauge beer can tanker kit, as I explained to her what it was the man said we could have it for $1. I saw this P&LE Mikado book and asked the price. I was told it was one of...

Yea, We made quite a haul. Mostly "junk". I bought a couple box lots that turned up some real treasures. The first is one my son found. He wanted the P2K E unit and talked them down to $20 for the lot. The highlights of this lot are the P2K E unit, a P2K BL2 shell, a newer version...

After finding the forums hosted by manufacturers and Magazines and got the impression that this hobby had become nothing more than a bunch of whiners complaining about not getting what they want and flaming each other. I did a google search to see if there might be any real modelers left that...

Con/Cor used the same shell for one of their SD45s. It had both trucks powered and ran a little better.

That is less than 10 miles from where I used to live. I know exactly where that is. My wife was just talking to one of our friends from the old nieborhood who's grandson (a fire fighter) has been on the scene since last night.

Thanks guys, I snuck past 1000 posts,:rolleyes: I didn't think I'd get away with sneeking past 2000 posts. Here's to the next 2000.aussie

I would gladly give an item that I have more of than I need to someone that needs or would appreciate it. I like the custom rolling stock as gifts idea. I actually received a custom car from a Gauge member. It's one of my most treasured pieces of rolling stock.
