Holy Schnikies! Those are great looking trees. Good job and thanks for the tutorial! George

Well. I ordered them. Soon I will have my A-B-B-A that I have wanted for a long, LONG time. Thanks for all the input. I knew this was the place to go for information. I will post some pics when they get here.

Seeing as how anything I try to paint ends up looking like a bad knock off of a Sydney Pollack, I am happy to pay a little bit more for fully lighted and correctly painted and decorated units. sign1

Hey there Does anyone have opinions one way or the other about Stewart Hobbies? I have been looking for a certain line/paint scheme for about a year now, and have found one at Stewart. I thought if any place was going to have members that have good, bad and indifferent things to say about a...

Holy smokes! That is very nice.

Hey folks I am not sure if this has been posted before, but whenever I put in something for a Search, it comes back with a bazillion hits and I am left fishing. So if this has been put up recently, I apologize... While I am working on my railroad (Northern Pacific circa 1955), I like to have...

Jeffery, I love the pic with the cut out pieces... and the battery, the dremel disc, plaster and the odd screw and plastic piece... reminds me of my own benchwork/work area. Nice to know I am not the only one with a 'lived in' workspace. George

Very nice model. How many pieces was that?!? I was looking at a nice building I thought I might get, but it has 1100 pieces. I am not the greatest at building models... my forte is more in wiring and benchwork... Are those the shingles it came with or are they the thicker paper shingles? I...

I concur, trainnut65. If mine turns out 1/2 as nice as those pics, I will be happy.

I thought the wagon pic was of a guy coming to get the 'leavings' for his field. High in nutrients and nitrogen for the soil, ya know...

Boy howdy, did you put your finger on the button. I have resorted to buying sets from Faller, Merten and Preiser just to get a good size herd that all didnt look the same. Having worked at a feedlot, I would be very disturbed to see cows and steers in the different pens all having the same...

Wow. Just... wow. That is a very nice looking stockyard. And thank you for the styrene info. This gives me an idea of how to go about building my own. Very nice. Thank you. George

Hello On my line, I want to have a siding that runs to a stockyard then back onto the main line. I am unsure of a couple of things, though. Any help would be great.... I am not sure if I want my siding to split in two and go on either side of the stockyard then form up again before getting...

For X-mas in 1977, Santa brought me a Tyco Brown Box Chattanooga set. I had a nice layout for a few years then I put it away. Recently I have gotten back into the hobby and was using that same controller until just a few weeks ago when I got a new controller with momentum and a brake. That...

As for what the 'gunk' is that accumulates on the wheels, I think I found a partial answer a couple of weeks ago. I had just installed LED lights in my F9 Santa Fe and wanted to see what it would look like in a dark room. I turned the lights out and watched the engine make a few laps. While...

My setup started when my wife decided I needed a hobby and parity on money spent on said hobby. (She is a knitter and we now have sheep and alpacas to support her habit... err... hobby) We were at my folks' house a few months back and I went into the attic and retrieved my old Tyco set from...

Get the track. You have an engine and some rolling stock. You can always later find your dream locomotive.

Hmm... all my pics went away. Anyhoo... About the foam: I glued the foam ontop of my 1/2" plywood that I put all around the benchwork. I had this crazy idea that if I ever moved, I could take it apart into two pieces. 2 L-shaped pieces to be exact. So, as I was applying canvas to the...

Boy howdy, did you say a mouth full. I once tried to repair a 'foam plane without checking what kind of epoxy I had. Melted one whole side of the fuselage. I do, however, have some polystyrene friendly epoxy. I had to order it online from an R/C site. I will, however, still do a small...

How about this for a possible solution... I have sheets of fiberglass mesh I use to repair my R/C airplanes. If I glued that on top of the bead styro, would that make it stronger? More photos coming. I took a day off. Hey, don't look at me like that! The laundry's got to get done sometime...
