That may be worth a try.

I cant find a pic to post but, CNJ's Newark Bay Draw in Bayonne N.J. would be a cool bridge to model.

I had no idea the D+h had invested so much in high pressure steam . Very cool and forward thinking. Good post.

Nice work ... the Bee gets an A.

the problem in that thinking steamhead is that the car will blowup on the way to the hobbie shop, get towed back to the house, where you will find that the dog ate half the couch and now has to get it's stomach pumped at the vet , and while you were there the the hot water heater will spring a...

I guess that these are 6 axle desales. You could always remove the center axle on each truck, or grind down the flanges of the center axles. If you think big... you could tear down and rebuild your layout with bigger curves?

liquid nails works fine, and so does hot glue. Either way you can't go wrong. They're both better than tape

There are some old slot cars that have really small 12v motors in them that might be a better starting point for a motor. You can use a resistor to knock dawn the voltage to 1.2 v, but that resistor will get very HOT. If you have any kids you may be able to salvage a small 6 to 12 v motor from...

:thumb:That was a very cool show:thumb:. I liked the lift they used on the 2nd move. It looked like a nice toy to play with:rolleyes:.

When I lived in Bayonne (NJ)I saw the juice train quite a few times running in and out of the Tropicana's plant in jersey city. The plant was located right on the city line between Jersey city and Bayonne.The best spot to get a picture was a clearing next to a group of housing projects called...

tree's take 2 After flowing the advice of triplex I redid my trees.

I like plain old DC block control. It's simple to wire, trouble shoot (I'm an electrician), and it gives you the feel of a dispatcher. Plus it gives me a break from technology, I hate programing and computers. O, wait I'm on one. Got to go!!

After working on the roof of a 20 story building I got a good idea of what you mean by a scaling problem. From that height I got a good sense of what an HO tree should look like. I'll give them a touch up tomorrow. Thanks Triplex.

Anna lines The ANNA R.R. is a mid sized coal haler Running from the Susquehanna river in NE. PA to New York harbor. Toptrain came up with the name when I was a kid. (It was his r.r. I kind of took it over, sorry pop)

Looks good.:thumb: Post some pics after you paint it.

Trees Now planted in a good spot they get a nice view of a late night freight headed by a set of F.M.'s.

Trees Next I sprinkled on some ground foam. First some medium green all over the net. Then some darker green with the tree held upside down. And last some light green on the top surfaces only. This gives the effect of light and shadow(more depth). Lastly another good coat of dull coat.

I needed a little brake from a valve gear project that was about to make me go blind, when some dead Tiger Lillies caught my eye in the wife's garden,,,"They look like tree trunks!!!" I said as I tore them from the Earth, family looking on as if I should be in a straight jacket.:eek: So I...

If you want to talk old audio gear I once had a tape delay echo machine.

I have always just eyeballed it. That has worked fine for me.You can check my other posts to see the results. My base cotes are thicker and my washes and such are thinner.
