even built up and snap together might need reinforcement. you can always hot glue the inside seams... that really helps them out

Hi! Too many pages to read to catch up, so I'll just jump right in here. To echo so many others Brrrrrrrrrrrr... but I am glad its brrrrr The 70+ degree days in January in Tennessee SCARE the daylights out of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone have any hot chocolate???????

I am simply amazed at all of the technical stuff you guys know.

even though the two could be one in the same, I would think sabotage would be more along the lines of disabling the rail system and terrorism would be more using the system to commit acts of terror- like carrying people, bombs, etc that are involved. I could be way off base, but that would...

thats a good point! Maybe I can do that. I *Think* where I am putting it I have the space. Thanks!

DO they make this? I picked up a track plan someone else had made and it calls for 20" radius, I figure I might just have to use flextrack, but if they make 20" maybe I can use some of it instead and save the flex for the odd places.

right, those are all good points. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself But I do have enough track pieces in my stash to make that, I just might have to cut a few rails to do it. So, if I can figure the wiring out, I may do it. Ugh... all I wanted was to make a cool place for the diesels at...

oh my goodness, I had NO IDEA it would be so expensive! YIKES! Guess its time to rewrite my track plan again! LOL

aaugh! Thats it! YOu are awesome! Thank you so much! And sooooooo fast too! :)

I know someone posted a thread on this not too long ago but I cant find it and I need to know what it is called and where I could find one... Its a piece of track- 2 parallel pieces with an x of crossings between them- it looks like it would be made with 4 switch outs and a rossing in the...

I checked out that link to the ones on sale for 2.95 seems like a real deal and I was very excited until they quoted me $13 for shipping!!!!!!! Seems they only ship UPS. Oh well. Fo rthat kind of dough I am off to get xurons. I want to check out the MicroMark ones Jim mentioned... hmmm Thanks

ah, this answers my question too! :)

cant see the pic??? weird. I would love to see it though!

thanks for all the advice. so will I ALWAYS have to file the ends? Or will any particular ones of these make clean cuts?

Ahhhhhh, thanks! That helps! Maybe I need 2 toolboxes- one for modeling, one for layouts... LOL

hmmmmmmmmm sounds like i need one...... is there something my moms dremel might have that will work?????

oh, I am so heavily afflicted by obsessive compulsive its pathetic... and my buying binges are awful and sometimes detrimental. Today the flat bed was what I wanted, my hubby the engine, the hoppers were my sons choice. UGH. But all for $40 wasnt too bad to me. I really liked the paint job...

Ok, so I have searched high and low... is xuron the only folks who make one of these? What sets this tool apart from other snips (like in my household tool box) ... I am going to have to cut rail when I do my layout, so I need to know my best options, but $10+sh for a tool is a lot for me...

My hubby and I went back to get this today and it was priced at $52.99 :( So needless to say it didn't come home with us. We got a couple more hopper cars and a flatbed (for my Thomas Jet engine :) ) and another engine of some sort. Oh well, more stuff! Yippee. Now he says I am cut off...

big difference from your first plan, huh??? I like it!
