Progress Happened Hey EightyEightFan !!! Things are looking up already. (For those who are "NASCAR Challenged", Dale Jarrett driving number 88 won the Bud Shootout race last night.) Now to the progress... Main Line track laid on the foamrail end modules, wired and tested. Only had one...

billk, checked it out. They list 3 model numbers: 1049, 1128, and 1129, apparently all for truck mounting. I'm not familiar enough with the different numbers to know which I might prefer. Sumpter250, kinda what I was thinking. I've been in HO for a few years, and body mounting seems to be...

I recently received a set of the Arnold Rapido heavyweight passenger cars. I'd like to convert them with Micro Trains couplers. Questions: Which coupler numbers to use? Operating on 18 inch radius minimum, body mount or truck mount? Anything else I need to know? thanks, Crew!

Progress Report Survived my trip this week. Visited a little hobby shop with the intention of buying enough Micro Trains couplers to convert a Pacific and passenger cars. Shop didn't have the recommended couplers for the cars. Oh well.... Mainline track is down on the two modules...

Thanks, Crew. Can't wait to get home, run to the mailbox, and see what you sent me!! Seriously, thank you for recognizing my "special day."

I'm building a mated set of modules using a "logging shortline" theme. Club will occasionally set up for shows or demos, so I'll need reliable locomotives. I have a Bachmann Shay, but have heard that a lot of people have experienced drive train problems with them. I'm considering having...

Good Morning, Crew! Bear claws sound good. Suspect the bear's tangled with a mountain lion or somethin', 'cause there's toes missin'. Long weekend here in the States, with Veteran's Day Holiday Monday. More railroadin' time!

Good Morning, Crew. Looks like I finally found my way home. Wife had surgery two weeks ago. Removed some constrictions from her colon, and discovered her cancer is back. Looks like chemotherapy again. Cool weather and rain here in the Southern States is nice. Able to get to the...
