    Track adhesive

    Guys, I did a search on Hot glue and didn't come up with exactly what I was looking for. I'm securing cork to foam and then track to cork. Right now I'm using a glue to secure both. Problem is, it takes forever to cure. 4-5 hours. Ive seen liquid nails recommended as well as a hot glue gun. What...

    Is the Real Thing getting, well, blah?

    MJ you make a good point, although Im not a fan of steam, It seems to me that there was alot more personality in a coal burner. (ie...sound and sight) from their whistle, to their "pfff,pfff,pfff" chugging sound, to the sight of the massive drawbars in action. When you think about that...

    Is the Real Thing getting, well, blah?

    I certainly dont intend on it turning into one. I guess I just said something the wrong way and again for that I am very sorry and take full resposibility. The last thing on earth I want to do is cause an argument. I never intended for anything I said to be taken that way at all. On that...

    Is the Real Thing getting, well, blah?

    Is the Real Thing getting, well, blah?

    O.K. First to clear the air, I'm not upset at those who dis-agree or upset period for that matter. Yes, in my first post I ask that question, that question was "did anyone agree or disagree that the loco's are getting boring or losing personality" not "are locos the only form of railfanning"...

    Is the Real Thing getting, well, blah?

    Sheesh, I didn't think this would go this way. I'm well aware that railroading is a business in the corporate world. This is why I placed the following sentence at the end of my post, This is just purely from a railfan perspective. I will continue to be a railfan when there are SD100mac's...

    Is the Real Thing getting, well, blah?

    O.K. Ive grown up around Southern/NS rails. I recall when I was younger seeing consists of SD 40-2's, GP 35 High nose's, GP 38-2's, u-boats and a few C motors and of coarse sd50's and 60's. Plus many many more. Now I still see a big variety of loco's but it just seems like those days of...
