The latest issue of MR has an adv. for a miniature (@ 1" square) wireless camera that could be mounted in a loco and then beam wireless pictures to a VCR/tv.. Does anyone have any experience with such a set-up? Do you really get pictures that are "watchable"? Really curious, all info would be...

The pictures are great, just what I needed. It may be a bit of a challenge to get good looking brushes in HO! Thanks again, Dave

Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Penna Posts: 52 Wash Rack Pictures I need a little help. Just scanned the latest Walthers cat., and saw the passenger car wash rack item. I would rather build one myself ( space constraints - and it would be more fun than kit assembly) but I can...

I need a little help. Just scanned the latest Walthers cat., and saw the passenger car wash rack item. I would rather build one myself ( space constraints - and it would be more fun than kit assembly) but I can not find any picures of a working passenger car washing set-up in any of my books...

I also have an F-3 Varney, gear drive, second motor. I bought it @1952-3, new, my first HO loco. I survived a nasty fire in our home, and is still running today. They were sturdy! Dave

Ralph (in St. Paul), You just did me a big favor. Both dummy switchers came with single horns, but I had no photograph that gave any location for horns on the Lima transfer. When you mentioned that it looked just like the one on the cover of 'Trains", I found the old copy and now I know where...

Two days ago I attempted to post some text and pictures describing the construction of a Lima Transfer locomotive. As far as I can tell, I used the same system that worked when I posted about the fire-fighting tank car and the RS 11 to RS 32 conversion. I am using the same computer, an Apple...

Still no pictures I have tried all the suggestions, and as near as I can tell I am doing exactly what I did when I posted the pictures of my last project, the tank car converted to a fire pump car, no problem. I have cropped the pictures, go through the steps to upload one, and after a minute...

Our layout has a whole section devoted to PRR, with quite a few types of locos, but no Transfer Locomotive! It seems that no has bothered to create a plastic version, and the occasional brass item on eBay is way, way over budget. The only solution was to "do it yourself". We started with a...

Need some help!!! Just finished a project and would like to share info and pictures. The pictures are on the desktop, JPG files ready to go, but they are 1.2 mg, I think that is too big. I have a scribbled note here that they need to be 640/480 with a 65 K limit. How to I get the pictures so...

Final photo shows the unit on the track.With a string of log cars pulled by a wood burning Shay in front of a working oil well with a lumber yard in the background and an oil loading dock nearby, it seem there just might be some call for a firefighting tank car! Dave

Painting of the small parts was a bit tedious,but it does make it pretty clear what each part is. The tank is a dull non-descript green, and the logo is the standard for the logging outfit. The initials JDR are for my grandson, and LC = lumber company. No fancy logos, stripes etc..See attached...

The next step was the creation of the motor-pump-nozzle assembly. I used 1/8" plastic tubing,small plastic rod (label was 1 1/4" iron pipe) thin sheet plastic,dowel,and some square rods ( cut to create engine block). The nozzle was made from insulation pulled from some solid copper wire; that...

I think we are up to speed now, picture should appear!

Will try one more time. Dave

There seems to abe a server problem - the attached picture does not get through??? Any ideas as to the problem?

A few days ago a Walthers Catalog arrived with a picture of a fire car for sale. I was a basic tank car with an added platform for a motor, pump, and hose pedestal. We have a small logging operation with a Three truck wood burning Shay, 6 scratch built log cars with 'Real Wood' from a back yard...

To All: Have always been interested in the big double ended transfer locos built by Baldwin and Lima (maybe others also?). There is an occasional brass version on e-Bay, but my budget does not operate in the brass world! 1, Does anyone know if anybody has produced a model in HO of the non-brass...

With help from a lot of people the 'Picture Problem" is solved. You can see the result in the RS-32 posting. Part of the problem was that my reply page button next to attachment does not say browse, it shows [file]. I kept thinking that was not it. Also, I tried to preview, with no result, now...
