Spam Spam Spam Spam I lived in Hawaii for eight years and Spam is very popular there. They eat more Spam per person than any other state. And they are quite proud of it. A normal breakfast consists of eggs, rice and Spam. It’s not that bad. :D :D Aloha Tom

Hey Guys,:wave: :wave: :wave: I thought I would jump in with some pictures of my service yard area. This area is the nearest to being complete. Seems like every time I get to a point where that it looks finished I end up ripping it up and starting over.:rolleyes: But I like the way this is...

Good day Woodie, You are the best.:thumb: :thumb: I used a small file instead of a Dremel. It took a little longer, but I was not sure I could control the Dremel enough with the reach I had to make. Took about a half hour of filing and testing but It finally stopped arching. Woodie, thank you...

Hay Guys,:wave: :wave: :wave: I am having a problem with some of my #6 Peco insulfrog turnouts. It seems that the metal wheels of cars are shorting across the points where the outside divergent rail and the inside through rail come together at the plastic frog. It is especially bad at slow...

My wife does most of the background painting. She also has built one of the buildings on the layout. We always go to Sattler’s hobby shop together. I am sure that there will be a shinny new locomotive under the tree from her. I am a lucky guy.:thumb: :D :thumb: Aloha Tom

Welcome aboard.:wave: :wave: :wave: Isn’t it the truth. My wife paints all the backgrounds and does most of the landscaping. We always go to the hobby shop together. This is a hobby that we both enjoy.:D :D Aloha Tom

Hi all,:wave: I have been lurking aroung for a few months and this is my first thread. I am in the process of installing the Walthers Cornerston 3-Stall Roundhouse on my layout. But the track angle does not match up with my Walthers 90' Turntable. If I set the roundhouse so the center stall...

Here's my P2K 0-6-0 and my BLI Heavy Mike 2-8-2
