I'm sure all those good ol' boys could use a little of the fine relief being served up at the "juice" shack.....:mrgreen:

The photo of the dog indicates that it's hollow....So, if we were to delve inside...would we be the "Hollow Men"..?? And would that allow us to determine the nature of the elusive light..?

Hmmm....That makes you about the age of my sons....I got some pictures of them perched on a steamer..Gotta look for them, and scan them...

Thanks Russ....:thumb: I'll get in touch with them.... The units are really heavy, so just to get them moving might be a good load...never mind coupling a 6 car consist behind them....

Hi Dan....Thanks for your comments.sign1 Here's a link to the first section of the layout that I consider mostly "finished". It still needs detailing, but the "rough" work is done. I'll have to dig through the "archives" here to find some other "random" pics I've posted now & then...

Herc...They sure are....They're just the first step in putting together my "dream" train. Though a steam fan to the core...this one train was one of the reasons I chose New Mexico as the setting for my layout....:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Welcome to The Gauge..!! Good to hear you got where you wanted to go..!! Keep us in the loop on your future activities...:thumb:

Thanks for the info....I'll look into it...:thumb:

Pecos also have this tab.....If it gets gummed up after ballasting, use a very fine emery sandpaper (the black one), fold it in two, and clean both the the point, stock rail, and the little tab by inserting it between the point and stock rail, close the points so the paper is jammed between the...

A couple of further questions....Where did you buy the No Ox, and how did you apply it...?

Sir J....You take the fun out of things....:roll1: Let the "whiper snappers" do their thing....It's more fun than driving to the shop....:car1:

Hey....A thought just crossed my mind....(that happens every 2-3 years....:eek:) Modeling an urban scene is much more "believable" than, like me, trying to squeeze the New Mexico desert into a few square feet... Thats one great layout..!! :thumb: P.D. I don't know how old you are, but...

I concur with Justin....This is as good as any in publications, and far better than most....A real masterpiece..!!

Thanks for the heads-up... I did run the A unit by itself for about 1/2 an hour, and then tried the same with the B unit, but it didn't run alone. It's got to be run with the A. This is what makes me think that both will run off the same decoder... Thanks again....

Nickel silver, I presume..? NS track oxidizes, just like the old brass used to. The difference between the 2 is that the oxide of NS track is conductive, so the NO-OX isn't just preventing oxidation, it's probably conductive itself... Metal wheels do pick up the grime left behind by plastic...

Hi...You don't mention what kind of track you're using... You're right in saying that the major source of track gunk comes from dirty/deteriorating car wheels. The best way to avoid this is to use metal wheels, AND run the trains often...

Les....Sorry to hear of your troubles...Hang in there and make up your mind that this is the best time of your life..!!! (Us ol' foggies gotta do that....:cry:) How's that business with the alligator clips..? I could use one of those....:thumb:

Josh...That happened to me too....Postage was more to Californeeaahhh than to Quebec....I had the attendant double-check as I didn't want my customer in Canada to not get his items for lack of postage....The postage was correct...:eek:

This is what the birthday fairy brought me the other day.....Awesome & jaw-dropping..!! They're Precision Craft Models F3A & B....with stainless steel sides..!! Really gorgeous..!! Now I got to install a decoder in them...will probably go with sound as well. I got a question here...Since the...

I have no problem with eBay, either buying or selling. My bone of contention is with the USPS....They effectively cut my Track Guard business down to zero. The last rate increase brought US delivery charges to almost 50% of the item's cost...Not a good deal. I could send to Australia for what it...
