Tim I use "tee" headed pins, available at office supply stores, and push them down through the little holes in the middle of the ties. If you want to try rolling stock over the track use track nails. They will hold fairly well for testing unless your curve is so tight that track tension will...

Photo 7 shows the completed unit. Photo 8 shows the panel tipped up to do the wiring. Photo 9 shows a panel left over from my previous layout showing a bit more complicated graphics. It was made the same way as what I’ve just shown. Notice the toggles are much smaller, and cheaper. The push...

Paint the bottom sheet the color of your choice. (Photo 4) Do any graphics work you care to, labels, track schematics etc. (photo 5) Mount the remaining clear sheet over the graphics. (Photo 6) This protects the graphics from wear and tear, sticky jelly covered fingers and such, and allows...

Tom It just happens that my project this week is building a control panel for a set of modules that I’m making. Because I wanted the panel removable for transport as well as needing to somehow support a power pack I first made a box to hold everything. (Photo 1) If I were doing it on a home...

John Armstrong's Track Planning for Realistic Operation has a chapter on service trackage including steam engine facilities. Stump7

Chris Nobody has answered your question so I will attempt to do so. On30: O= the scale you working in O scale is 1:48 to 1 Ho is 1:87 to 1 or about half of O n= narrow gauge, the distance between the rails so n30 is 30" between the rails n3 is 3 feet or 36" between the rails. Hope...

Don Those are really fun shots. The best laugh of the day! You must have spent some time in Roswell, NM in your way to Arizona. The buildings are great also. Have you got a call in to the National Enquirer? I've seen less believable photos on their front page. Stump7

kevin Thanks a lot for tip on the technique and the ilustrated tutorial. I will be needing prickly pear plants later this winter when I get ready to do some planting. I'm still on basic landforms at this point. Stump7

Yeah, back on line and better than ever with some new additions. Thanks for the tip off Tileguy. And thanks to Marc for maintaining such a great site. Stump7

Marc How come I can not get your steam in the woods website to open up. I get a "not authorised to use this page" message. Do I need a password? I'm going to be scratch building a loader and would like to do some research. stump7

Channel is a structual steel shape that is similar to half an I beam, shaped like a staple. In the real world it comes in different widths, depths, and thickneses. The 7" and 12" would be the measurement of the flat part between the two legs. For models they are made in plastic by Evergreen and...

Clark When it rains it pours. I did find one more copy yesterday and picked it up. I'll put it on the for sale thread and to see if any other Wal Mart deprived soul would be interested. Stump7

Clark: OK I'll take a look and get one if I can find it. Jim: The first tutorial I ran I ended up going backwards at 60 MPH and had to escape to end the session. I'm not a big gamer either but this looks like it might be a lot of fun. Stump7

Clark Did anyone find you a copy yet? I'm heading into Albuquerque again this morning and can look again if you still need a copy. Stump7

Success! I went to the Wal Mart in Albuquerque this morning and after a 15 minute search found a copy buried in behind some other stuff. Could only find one though. Now I have a 90 page manual to read:( Thanks again Bob for the tip off. Stump7

Bob Thanks for the tip off. What dept would one look in? Toys? Software? TiA Stump7

Zedob Scenic Express has something called a "Turbostat" static grass gun for under $100. I know a professional scenery maker who swears by this technique. I never had the extra $ to get one either, but it sounds interesting. Stump7
