WOW! Great job!

hmmmmmm.... I have never tried it. I will also look forward to the responses here!

you might be able to find it in some older firefighting publications... I know we studied building construction to our area. it included that information.

How bad is it? My son likes to take his Thomas and put him on the tracks to help out other engines. We are obviously running DC and reight now its juat an oval loop. So they're both being powered by one power pack. What damage are we doing?

I like all of it! Since I am known for jumping in and cmpletely immersing myself in anything I do, having ALL tips for tools helps me A LOT! :) Thanks for the replies everyone!

I plan to actually build our first detailed layout (thus far its only been ez track stuff). Feb I plan to finish the benchwork and lay the foam and start drawing out the track plan. Before the end of the month I hope to finish my roundhouse project and organize and store all of my items...

congrats! :)

yes, and hobby lobby has a zillion on clearance right now for 5 or so dollars... :)

I love tackle boxes for organizing. I used a great one for my scrapbook stuff. I am going to organize most in my photo boxes since they look nice on my bookshelf! :) But I have a small tackle box down there right now!

THANKS I will look to see if I have any rotting away in my garage :)

After posting the thread about essentials, I got started thinking more about and actually doing the organization of some trains... Here's what happens when I get left alone with a glue gun: It started out as an innocent picture box... Now, its a new home for Thomas and his friends.

oh yeah, we have that one... I wonder if he would like me to take it off and put it on his model. Funny part is I know my husband won't let me. Maybe I will get another just for that purpose... hmmmm Thanks!

My son's favorite Thomas story is the one with the jet engine. He wants to reenact it when we build our island of sodor. Where do you suggest I get an item like a jet engine? SHould I rob a plastic model airplane of one? And what kind of car should I put it on? Just a flat bed? Any other...

Thanks for the lists. I am compiling my "tool box" and "supply boxes" and these ideas are helping a lot! The photo storage boxes for 4x6 pics are on sale this week at Michaels for 2 for $3. I have found that by folding some cardstock I can make nice dividers... now just to kow what all I...

Cute! My son loves to get on here and see everyones pics and videos (links). That and surfing youtube, but I have to be soooooo careful there.

Oh yeah! I like those. I wonder if they have them at Hobby Lobby (or somethng like them) then I can use the 40% off coupons! THANKS FOR THE TIP!

thanks!!!!!!!!! I cant wait to actually have a layout to put it on. I am going to hang some lights in it also just for fun. I know its not whats used for anything, but has anyone made lights using christmas lights? obviously the smaller ones. I just dont have anything else and if I could...

What are a few of the items or tools you would be lost without when it comes to MRR? Think in terms of stuff you always have on hand, or if its tools people normally would have in their house, do you own extras that are specifcally for this? Please share! :) AND since I am fairly new to...
