Will this site help ? CN Lines Special Interest Group

I see we've have now resorted to amusing cats with expensive trains...what is this hobby coming to.

I imagine that if you linked directly to the Walthers site it would automatically label you as "item out of stock" like everything usually is on their website - for N Scaler's anyway !!

Skewers in N Scale work great - We use them at our club and I also use them at home. Cheap, disposable and unlike the 'official RIX uncoupling tool' - you are not gonna panic if you lose it during an ops session. Skewers can be coloured also - to match operators' wardrobe.

The tank and scenery look great Doc. However the handrail looks like it needs a little CA treatment to reattach the upper handrail on the right there. You wouldn't want the 1:160 Employee Health & Safety committee calling in the Labour Inspectors due to unsafe handrails. A job well done...

I'm going to guess that the reason for the derailments is that the curve is not 'fluid' in both directions. The radius may ease around in one section and suddenly "tighten up" in the second section or vice versa. Have you or are you able to look at the entire curve from a higher vantage point...

The VIA passenger trains are on a regular schedule. Most of the freights are 'sure things' at certain times also. I have never really counted how many freights 'matter of factly' but depending on the day it could be busy or as dead as they (CN) wants. It's a double main with the infamous Paris...

Hows this for a view everyday! Looking South at a westbound freight from my kitchen deck - It's the Canadian National - Toronto to Windsor Mainline - Paris Ontario ....Railfanning from the comfort of my own home...

Try using exacto knives to gently shave the 'over glued' or misfitting areas. Repair, putty, repaint and add a little chalk. Even the worse 'previously enjoyed' kit can be restored.

There is a chance George's will be at Woodstock - if not - they could be at Ancaster on Nov 11th. I'll be at Woodstock looking for some N Scale goodies as it is a couple minutes down the highway from me.

By heritage - do you mean like this ? It's an AC4400 in the CN heritage colours - I had it painted for me and it's one of my favourite locos in my fleet.

Probably an angry modeller (READ "rivet counter") claiming the side pistons were 6 inches too long and the paint was a shade off - ultimately delaying model production for a another year and a half. Arrrgh ! sign1

It's from 'Simon and the Land of Chalk Drawings (hopefully the one's narrated by Mr Dress-up) I can remember watching those about 7 or 8 years ago with my then 'lttle man' on one of the kid's only TV channels. I believe it is a Canadian version of a British created cartoon series.

All right ! - Can't wait until KATO releases this in N Scale.

You've already got a head start there. How about a gravel parking lot / a couple trees / picnic tables and some railfans taking pictures.

I'll second that thought - Nice shots too !

How coincidental could life be. A co worker handed me a copy of MR (dated April 1971) and lo and behold it features Part 5 of an article entitled Railroad In A Coffee Table by Walter Olsen. It is in fact how to build this particular layout. This particular article deals with scenery and...

The only problem with that Russ is that you don't (unless they are specialty trains ie coal). For example, you would never see a Canadian National locomotive consist pulling all Canadian National box cars for instance. It's a hodgepodge of boxcar roads from all over North America. That's what...

Go to User CP and edit profile. Then you can muck about with things like your signature etc.

I'm still undecided with the new format - NO SALE Yet !
