Dave, Reservations for three Saturday Evening, I have a special guest, my daughter. :cool: I just have to keep her away from Mr. Feedwaters cap, she doesn't need to have to get a rabbies shot. :mad: :p

Good Morning Everyone!! We are supposed to get into the 50's today and all weekend!!:cool: My daughter is flying in tomorrow for the weekend, so we will be busy! I haven't seen her since Labor day. And she LOVES Trains!!:D :cool: :)

Yes they are nice to drool over;)

The foam core I have has a plastic cover not paper, or it is coated with a plastic like substance (not really sure what it is) I have used latex paint on it without any problems before. I guess it matters what you purchase.

Ok here is an idea I tried after reading about it years ago in one of the model Railroad mags. on sidings where you have a grade (and yes I have a few of them) you can stop cars from rolling by taking the bristles of a stiff brush and glueing a few sticking up from the ties to a height of just...

I use foam board with great success. I have also used very heavy card stock both purchased at a art supply center. I like the card stock when I don't want the structure raised up any. I do seal the card stock with a spray sealer (I use Duncan matt sealer but I think you could use any sealer)...

Or Mine!!:D :D :D :D Very well done Drew

Shamus, you have to delete the comma at the end. He mistakingly put that in.

Nice Job David!! Yes scratch building kind of wears off on you, I started a scratch built water tower last night (didn't get too far).

Nice to have you aboard Hunter!! Nice website you have there!:cool:

Very Cool Gavin!! I so much enjoy watching children run layouts!! Now my youngest is 17 but she still loves to run my layout from time to time.

I would be real careful about putting them on a website, with copywrite laws even an unpublic one!

make sure Imogene gets a rabbies shot!! Mr Feedwater's hat may be rabbid :eek:

hey there is a Diesel on Shamus' layout!!:eek: :confused:

I think that is the case of many modeler's, you use something because someone else recommends it and since you are happy with the results you never try anything else.

That's great news Rusty!! I've also been there done that. When I worked in the field (construction) I used to spend all week at the job site and come home weekends, problem was 12-16 hr days 5 days a week. Now I sit behind a desk and make more money on a 37.5 hr work week, and I get to go home...

Good Morning Everyone. Dave and Debbie, Phillip and Dad are in our prayers. Jack will pray for your wife also. I agree Autumn didn't come this year, just winter.

you painted a New York Central Loco!!:eek: :mad: All kidding aside, Please do keep us updated, I love the S12's

I agree with Gary, Dremel!! I use mine almost every day.

I have a few 3% grades for my mainline, but on my logging line, I am planning a number of 4-7% grades. Alot depends on what you plan to run, if you have 10 car trains 4% is really not a problem for one loco, on the other hand if you are running 30 car trains then you may have a problem.
