Woodie, That's most encouraging. Could you take a look and see if they have a web address please? George.

Woodie, Albury looks like the entrance to some kind of resort! The turntable shot looks like it could be almost anywhere in North America. That would be a great shot for a "Guess where this is?" contest. Thanks for the shots! George.

If they were smart, they would move the plant out of California and back to the United States! With all the granola brains out there voting against construction of any form of power generating station for 25 years, what do you expect? Manufacturing is getting killed. You're going to see a...

Woodie, Albury looks like a nice place to house a train club! How active is the interior these days with restaurants and what not? Just took a gander at your layout shots. I like the equipment and it's too bad that it's not available in North America. I bought a copy of Model Rail (UK) and...

SNAP Track. We all started with it. You opened a box at Christmas, or your birthday and you never got so excited before over odd shaped plastic and metal. You probably didn't even know there was anything wrong with the track being brass either! What's more, you were so euphoric, had you been...

Hello Folks! Latest on a fruitless search for "What ever happened to Lima Models?"....... Helmut's Trains responded to an e-mail enquiry of mine and they said they didn't know, but they thought the outfit went out of business...... George.

Shamus, That bottom right shot looking up at that massive rock formation made me dizzy even on my 19" screen! I've got to ask you. What was it about the original part that you didn't like? Did you encounter operational problems or was it something about the look? Were you able to recycle...

Robin, Unfortunately, I'm rather inclined to agree with you, but I won't give up. It's bothered me for years that there can be so much animation in a layout with movement of trains, machinery and even pedestrians, yet devoid of moving vehicles. Why can't we get some kind of affordable...

Shamus, I especially like the roadway. It's not very often that anyone gets the grade and curve of a scale roadway to look convincing. You've achieved it, friend! George.

Andy, Humidity isn't good for anything except plants. If you have a window you can open, do so to help air the place out. How quickly does the dehumidifier fill up? Perhaps you need another one by the layout, as it sounds as if the one you have is elsewhere in the basement. Another...

Here's another link Pitchwife found. http://www.radtrax.com/radstoreHO.html Some of the lines seem a bit overpriced. A new T-Jet should run about US$20. We've been bantering a circuit back and forth and have encountered a problem with the "C" word again, clearance. The thought was to hide...

Looks like the cored out the right bore for double stacks. I wonder how they reinforced it? George.

Robin, I can't tell for the reflecting light. Is "Canadian Pacific" still written on the cars? George.

Robin, Nice that somebody had the right pull to get the caboose painted the day it was taken off the rails!! The CN sign is intriguing. Can you tell me anything about it? It looks like an afterthought when someone couldn't get the right size "Noodle" for the rear. Also, why did they remove...

Woodie, You DROVE instead of taking THE TRAIN??? George.

People, When it comes to adding weight, let me ask you fellows about clay.... Someone in a club used modelling clay because it could be shaped to fit anywhere, and to any desired thickness. He wrapped it in cellophane (Saran Wrap) to prevent moisture from getting out (minutely reducing...

YO FLINN! We don't hear enough from you! Biggerhammer is on right track. Don't even attempt this kind of project unless the job is going to look "Finished". That's EVERY wife's primary complaint with these things, and it should be avoided at all costs. You're talking about exposing what...

OK KIDS! Trains and slots, here you go! http://members.tripod.com/Crowley_Scale_Models Happy Motoring George

Well, we had a great time and if you missed it, we're sorry. Read all about our day in Delson down in the CANADIAN NATIONAL board. George. [This message has been edited by George (edited 05-30-2001).]

Hi you guys! Well, the FIRST GAUGE EVENT has come and gone and for those of you who missed it, you really missed something, and we missed meeting you. First, we had six show up. Not bad considering! The highlight was one Gauge observer happened to be a member of the museum who has spent a...
