Fantastic modeling and photography, Wayne...... Bob

Awesome job, Ray..... Bob

Clark... I was looking at an set-up like you mentioned, but the tank was $30., and a regulator/moisture filter was another $30., and then there were the brass "fittings" needed. I finally settled on a 3 gal tank w/compressor by Craftsman at Sears, for $89.00...It works great, and I have a...

Just a FYI.... I just received a flyer from Harbor Freight listing a dual action air brush set by Central Pneumatic... that includes the brush, 3/4 oz jar w/lid, 1/4 oz color cup, etc., for $16.99 . www.HarborFreight.com I have a single action Badger 350 that does...

Yeah, I've tried it without Otto one time... I get back to that later, after I am through my initial screw-up period ! I have already decided that this is where I want to spend my Sim time... so steamers are "here" to stay. High greens, and clear tracks..... Bob :thumb:

Bob and Chris... Glad to hear all is well on the Miracle Strip, and that you and your's are safe. Now if we can only make it one more month, the area should be able to take a deep breath once again. I am hoping the hurricane's will leave the area alone after this one... my old squadron has an...

I am slowly starting to get the hang of steam operation. I had used the British steam engines several times in the MSTS program, but mostly I "fell back on" the Marias Pass and the SandPatch operations. But after a rocky start with V Scales "St. Louis and North Arkansas" steam program (circa...

Good photo.... Bob

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE AND ALL..... now, you all have to share the cake !!! Bob :wave:

Jim, Take a crack at : http://www.microsoft.com/games/trainsimulator/ then click on downloads, that will get you started. High Greens and Clear Track.... Bob

Don, I have a P4/1.8G/180 HD/19" Screen/Boston Sound system/Windows XP, and I have my resolution set at 1360 X 768. I catch an occasional flicker but it is not bad. You can try what MSTS recommends (an optimal res. setting of 1024 X 768) and see if that helps you... then you can hit SHIFT...

Thanks for starting the "Sim group" thread, Don. Here are three good links for anyone interested in add-on's.... www.train-sim.com/links/htm www.mapleleaftracks.com/index/html www.vscalecreations.com/NAPtext.htm *** my favorite... If Train Sim, or Maple Leaf doesn't open for you...

How about after the dust settles on this thread, lets start one that list's the links where M/S Train Sim add-on's are available... (and there's a bunch of them). If you have, or later on add MAPLE LEAF'S Sandpatch train sim to your M/S Train Sim, the possible downloads will at least double...

I just picked up my copy of MR's new "special edition"... Modeling Railroads of the 1950's, and it is an excellent piece of work. Usually you will see several "reprinted" articles in MR specials, that were used in previous issues... but not on this one. I certainly can't remember ever seeing...

I just purchased Joe Fugates DVD on DCC Electronics, and that is covered in the program is great detail.... I may also give that a shot (as it really makes programing functions a breeze, in the DVD he shows matching loco speeds for MU'ing). Bob

Ed, I am truly saddened to learn of your Mother's passing. You and your's will be in my prayers. God bless.... Bob H.

Another FYI..... My LSH owner told me he had the last copy of M/S Train Sim from "Wally-World's" Super Store here in Blue Springs, but another friend told me he just bought two Train Sim's at another WalMart in Independence, MO..... so it looks like they are available "system wide" until the...

It was in the Electronics/Software area.... in a special rack for software sale items. It was marked down to $9.95, and is at all stores according to the sales clerk. Good hunting.... Bob

FYI..... MicroSoft's Train Simulator is currently on sale at Wal-Mart for $9.95.... that is quite a savings over what I paid for mine, a couple of years ago. It is a great program, and it comes witha downloadable (PDF) file.... M/S Train Simulator's "Engineer's Manual", that is worth the...

Happy Birthday, One And All...... Bob :wave:
