I've been working my tail off to help prepare for the Stadium of Fire. (Huge fireworks show here) The show was last night, huge success! Anywho, found out that Monday I will be moving. Not the way I wanted to spend my fourth. Sorry you won't get to enjoy the celebrations and I hope that you...

What if you put velcro strips on the underside of the roof, and some along the molded guides, or maybe even some small magnets. Just a thought. :confused: Freelancer

Volunteering is what got me started. A day here, a day there. Next thing I knew I was hired on for the summer. Went from shop work, to hostling, to conductor. Next stop, engineer! Ok, that won't happen for quite a few years, but they informed me that it was possible. So for right now I will...

I saw something very interesting happen just a while ago. I was watching a Spectrum 2-8-0 starting at $50. At the end of the auction no one had bid on it and the item was relisted again for $50, once again no one bid on it and it was then relisted at $35. I continued watching it and the winning...

UPJunkie, there is an article in MR July 2004 How to lay track perfectly that briefly covers how to super elevate track. The author states that he places a .040" styrene shim under every 15th tie to raise the track. He starts out with a .010" shim and then increases the thickness of the shims...

I have been thinking about getting an airbrush to experiment with. I found a Testors Mighty Mini for $50. Comes with the airbrush and compressor. I figured that the airbrush probably wasn't the best quality but I was wondering if the compressor was any good for a beginner. All of the reviews...

Brakie, unfortunately I haven't had the oportunity to get to know you personally. However, I feel that it would be a great dis-service to you and the gauge were I not to wish you a full recovery. I hope and pray that you will overcome this and that you will soon be joining us once again here at...

Thanks for the info chidcahse, you peaked my curiosity so I had to do a quick search for an image of some sort. (Due to my lack of imagination, I just couldn't quite visualize what it was supposed to look like) It is a great idea, and would definitely add to an interesting operation. I couldn't...

77railer you may want to check out Free-Form Modular, it is operated as a point to point or point to loop so it may not appeal to the kids, but if they were interested it would be easily connectable to any other groups that are following the same guidelines. It definitely has its good points but...

Ok sorry I am late, I was quite busy these past couple of weeks getting ready for a show. I can now show you what I have gotten accomplished. As you can see in the first picture, I got some ballast laid on my module. In the second picture I added some basic scenery. And the third picture is my...

77Railer, that is an awesome idea. Hmmm....maybe if you get enough corporate responses I might start my own "club." :D Ah, I doubt that my story of being a financially burdened modeler would be too unique. :D Anywho, I found a fax number for Athearn on some old instructions, don't know if...
