i'm still working on mine, but it is partially freelanced, partially from prototypical sites with a smidgen of Iian Rices's and other's ideas and expertise. It's basically a loop, so it's not too complicated, although it has been in previous design deviations. I have a feeling that it will...

Aw man! And I thought I was getting a cheap shot.:cry: Glad you clarrified that for me DW.

More power! ARG ARG ARG ARGGGGG. Seriously, if they both work seperately, but don't together it's a sure shot that you need more umpff. There are some capacitor units that will handle many turnout machines at the same time, but I can honestly tell you that I don't know the manufacturer. I've...

Here ya go. http://www.dickblick.com/zz229/44/ You may want to give the rest of the site a whirl. Plenty of good MRRer raw materials. You can probably find them at most larger art stores, although I haven't found them at the local Micheals (no Lobby around here). AS for larger ones for my...

I do modeling on a daily basis, as a job making teeth. Since I was in charge of setting up my workbench and someone else was paying for it, I decided to get creative. Instead of trying to jamb everything on shelves, which I knew would eventually turn into a monster, I decided to add some...

As the Sheriff of Rockridge once said, "Do tell...Do tell..." Can't leave us hanging.

Are you talking about dual gauge trackage? The only commercially available is/was in HO/HOn3. Lambert used to make it. It's still available, well as long as the hobby shop that's been stocking it for the last 30 yrs is still in business.:D :cry: I don't know if narrow guage trackage crossing...

Hey, is that tacklebox HO scale?:D

Try Walthers. NJ International is one name. http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/525-1165 I didn't go too deep in the search to find the actual circuit, but with a bit of research, you'll find it at the Big W. I know they have them, I've seen them, but I never installed any.

Sometimes they crank on when I just barely touch them. Hardly enough to jostle the contacts. I've noticed that if you clean the dust off of the tubes they will work better(other than the obvious increase in light intensity after the dust is removed) and always wondered if the tubes build up a...

Try this. It's not between conversion. Just scale inch to actual inch equivilence. http://nebrownstone.mousepaw.com/conversion.htm

I use Ultracal-30 for my work, which is srong but not as hard as I would have thought considering the fact that when people say Hydrocal, the first thing that comes to mind is hardness. The dental die stone I use for my patterns is much harder. I always add plaster to water, but may end up...

A zip-Loc bag!? I like that. :thumb: The good thing about that is that you've created a bottom pour device, which if done correctly will eliminate alot of the bubbles if you can let it sit for a minute to give the bubbles some time to rise to the top. I wouldn't mix in the bag, but mixing in a...

Russ, are you talking about right here? If so, there shouldn't be any s-curve problems grandpacoyote. I would think the curved cross-over would do the same thing and be cheaper. If a cross-over needs to be closer to the cement and stone plants, I'd just move the curved one closer. Humm, you...

I watched that yesterday, too. Not one of the best movies, but enjoyable on a rainy day. For a more futuristic ride, the trains on "The Island" (not the one about the pirates) the movie about two clones who find out about thier destiny and go on the run (shades of Bladerunner, but still...

Aaaahhhhh! My last post was my "666th", does it mean I'm going to burn in some eternal flame?:cry: Oh wait, this one is my 667th, so I gues I'm clear. Whew.:thumb:

bob, great looking weathering job.:thumb: The water stains on the tender are to die for.:thumb:

I've never seen an HO model of an oil rig or production platform except at the airport in Houston, but I don't know if they were HO scale. Oilfield rigs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the smallest work-over spud barge to the mamoth semi-submersibles or deep water platforms. There...

Massachusetts is loaded with HS's, but I can only attest to two of them. Pioneer Hobbies, which is across the river from my house and Tuckers in Warren. Pioneer is a mixture of hobbies, but they have all of the basic MRRing stock and the peole are pretty freindly. Tuckers is a true MRRer's...

Wow, what a concept. Commuter rail service to an airport. Wish they had that here.
