Type this in the ebay search bar Walthers Undec 40' DS Wood Boxcar As for ebay, there are good deals if you don't get auction fever. Research is a must, know the item you are looking to bid on and don't just jump on the first one to show up. Go down the list. I've bought other stuff, not...

Weather the heck out of them and cover the rebuld date in the process. You could take a heat gun and warm the plastic up to a pliable state and bulge out the areas between the side ribbing. The older you want them, the more the bulge:thumb:

Thanks for the input. :thumb: I was out of the hobby for awhile too and you aren't kidding about the technilogical advancements that this hobby has seen. Especially when you open an older book on MRRing and there's a shot of the backside of a huge control panel with 3 inch thick ropes of...

Until the temperature changes and I find a kink in my track that needs a brad instead of a scale spike to shove it over and keep it in place.:D I'm not totally against the product and am still contemplating it's use. I'm about ready to run a few tests on a few different track products that...

Common guys, take it easy...:D Gosh, small world. I never thought I would ever hear that town's name again. How nice it has a railroad connection.

No problemo

I've never ordered from them, but I have ordered form Internettrains.com and can say that the transaction went fine.

Here ya go. http://www.internettrains.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IT&Product_Code=CVM-2882&Category_Code=HSCTRKTRNCVM I have some of the #6,but they say that if you want to make curved crossovers, use the higher turnout # allowable for your trackplan. You may check...

That's one of the things I replaced, first, aside from all of the other essential engine components that could keep it from running. I changed alot of those parts just on principal. You're right about not being able to see the elctrical problem. When are they gonna come out with a DCC car? Two...

That's awsome looking wire. I repeat, that is a really cool project. Throw some oyster shells around the site and it'd be a dead ringer for any number of remote Gulf locations.

My track record at the moment is zero. When my layout was up and running, I'd say I was running about 75%, but it was getting better due to me bringing wheels and track into gauge. I didn't have any ballast, so I didn't have any point fouling problems. Most of my track was fairly level, so grade...

The only one I've seen is about how he made his trees, which I believe is the same article that is in the book.

That's interesting. Guess it's like a sump pump. Makes more sense, now. Now, explain this one. I disconnected the pumps relay in-order to jump the pump to drain the tank. Changed everything out, hooked everything back up the same way (the electrical stuff only goes one way because of the...

I have a feeling I will still be meesing with my truck. I have to change the fuel pump, which is in, of all places, the fuel tank. Jeez, what bonehead came up with that idea. It took awhile before I got the nerve up to drop the tank and put the new pump in, but I still have to put the whole...

One thing that is usually missing from modeled scrap yards is the large quantity of sloppy mud, complete with buried scrap. Unless the yard is in a dry area, or it's the dry season, most yards that I've strolled through were a muddy mess. I think the pics will attest to that.

Nice layout. I noticed your curved crossovers and was wondering if you were planning on handlaying them or trying to use commercially available curved turnouts. Honestly, I think crossovers (not double) would work better in a curve since it eliminates the "S-curve" inherient in straight ones...

First off, you didn't mention the distance it has to travel. How much does the terrain and track grade vary? Since you have no scenery,per se, you could lay a sheet of foam over everything and add filler pieces of foam to compensate for the irregularities. If you want to bullet proof it, lay a...

That's a great job on a really cool project. The lens of the light even has that fresnel look. I used to make some parts for lights like that for a NAV-AID company in Louisiana and the light is a very close representation of the real thing. The assortment of control and battery boxes looks...
