I think I recall hearing some of the well crafted here use 'Brake Fluid' but that's where my expertise on this matter ends. Can anyone expand on that...

After you've waited twenty years and finally have the space, the equipment, the time, the money and you're down to the last 10 feet of mainline to lay - do you you ballast now (while it looks like "the plywood/foam central") or wait till you put you basic scenery in (ie mountains,hills etc)...

Here's a question for those electrically dominant. The specs : 8 feet wide /24 feet long "U" shaped layout. Where is the best place to locate my 2 control master 20's to acheive balanced power throughout the layout.? They obviously have hand held controls which will be positioned around the...

A family weekend away but still managed to assemble an IM cylindrical hopper, paint another undecorated one. All while watching a movie at the Brother in laws, (the wife wasn't too impressed however). When I got home on Sunday, I built walls for the rear of a building I was intending on using as...
