Hello there, I would like to add a new thread to the On30 forum, telling of how I became involved in the scale. I have everything worked out, and the pix are also ready. My problem is - how do I 'embed' the various pix at the several required places in my posting? :confused: Uploading them is...

Hi Chooch, (No, all the big wet is in the north, in Queensland......) Yes, I think that's what I'm looking for. The cross-section looks correct.(Sorry to be so vague.):inmew: What do all you tram-traction modellers use for track? :-? Thank you. :>

Hello again, It has just occurred to me that the best way to have a tram / streetcar layout where you don't have to go to the time and trouble of rigging an overhead catenary system is to run early trams that were not powered by external electricity at all. Things like steam, or soda, or...

Hello all, Please forgive my ignorance, but I am certain that someone here will be able to assist.:oops: I am searching for some information on the model equivalent the special 'inverted' rail that is used throughout the world when tram / streetcar / traction vehicles are laid in paved streets...

Do not pass GO Hello there, I would love to read hminky's article on HO track for On30, but the link doesn't seem to work, at least not for me. :cry: Can anyone please supply another link or address where I can peruse his article and see his pics? Many thanks.:mrgreen::mrgreen: :)

I Agree! As to the figures that all purport to be "O Scale", I have always had a problem with them...........There is such a wide variation in physical dimensions across the range! Preiser stuff is exquisitely detailed, but every one is about seven scale feet tall, and the stuff is VERY...

Hi Quarryman, I love what you have done to the old Forney....your work is an inspiration. The tender is brilliant, and your pix are great too! I had similar trouble with my Forney (Kate) on my layout. That BIG backside just trended to wipe following wagons off the rails in tight radius curves...

Hello all you modellers, Please allow me to introduce myself. I am in my late 50s, I live in Melbourne, Australia and have modelled trains for the best part of my life. It all started with a Hornby Dublo train set - a present from Santa in 1957, then I moved on to OO two rail, before...
