Hey Robin! NICE SHOTS! I must say though, I don't care for this "CNA" nonsense. I mean, what's a CN freight car without the "Lazy Three" adorning the sides???? George. [This message has been edited by George (edited 05-23-2001).]

Rich, The last time I heard about someone covering the layout with a sheet, the idea was scrapped when the cat took to going underneath all the time! You've significantly reduced the dust and dirt problem for sure, but even if it goes five years, cleaning the layout at some point will be...

Woodie, Who is the manufacturer of the lamps you describe as being for a highway to the moon? They sound like the NOCH or BRAWA ones with the orange rectangles on the tops. I don't know about where you are, but those cost a fortune here. I didn't even see them reasonably priced in hobby...

Could it be the one with the large...

Jimmy, these shots are a real treat for those of us who don't get to see equipment from your corner of the world very often. Thank you very much for the effort and patience to share these shots with us. How recent are these photos? Your first shot looks like a beautiful passenger engine, yet...

Have a look for yourselves!! http://www.exporail.org/musee/musee_CRM.htm George.

Here's more on the museum. http://www.exporail.org/musee/musee_CRM.htm George.

Nice to meet you Roger Stupid question time. Is this the same company that sells fine lubricants for mechanisms?? George.

As usual, I have to yield to Shamus. He's right about it being best not to fasten your buildings down, and use material around the base to conceal the seam between base and deck. I do this as well. The more objects you can remove for careful cleaning by hand, the less detailing will become...

Woodie, If it was a week long jamboree, I'd tell you to kick that koala off the jetway and get over here! One day deal not worth it for you, but you'll feel as if you were here when it's over! George.

Hello and welcome, djatesu! Congratulations on your graduation! At this point of life, you're probably going to do more moving around than you ever wanted, for a while anyway. Take that into consideration first. Rebuiliding every time you move instead of being able to recycle costs a fortune...

Shamus! I thought we agreed you would never tell that story about me! George.

I like the idea, except I don't think we have the technology for a flexible frog yet. HOWEVER, you could make a flexible frog from rubber or soft plastic for use on a catenary fed layout?? George. [This message has been edited by George (edited 05-22-2001).]

That line, if not swallowed up, was still a flying flag until very recently. In fact, there was an article within the past 12 months regarding an upgrading of motive power for that line. George.

D&H7312! Great shot, and thanks for sharing it with us! What kind of unit do we see the nose of in the lower right hand corner? George.

What we're really digging here for is the local CN policy. We all have had mixed experiences leaning towards the positive in Canada, but will there be a major difference on CN in the states? I dare say that it will probably be business as usual. George.

Like trains?? Like to party "togedder?" Take a gander at the CN thread here for a real down east HO DOWN! George.

OK KIDS! So there's some hard feelings going around. Somebody got a bruised ego and the rest of us have to pay for it, right?? W R O NG !!!!!! Let's get over it and past it all. Next Saturday, those of us close enough in the hemisphere (like me!) and wealthy enough from far away like...

This coming Saturday, the 26th of May, I will sponsor the first annual GAUGE MEET at the National Railway Museum of Canada in DELSON, QUEBEC. Delson, for the unknowing, is minutes south of the isle of LAVAL (Montreal). Take your mattress stuffings, get a plane ticket, get in your car, or MY...
