Only if it is authentic. Isn't the stuff that comes out of the stack steam? Or am I completely wrong about this? :confused: If it is steam, then instead of dropping some slimy oil in the engine, a manufacturer should produce a real steam engine. Perhaps a coil that could be superheated by...

Thanks t. Interesting read. The only problem with that site is that it doesn't get into the diesel Porter Hustler that I'm trying to find out about.

Ahhh, but there must be an origin.

I plan on ordering one from hobbysurplus.com, but I must first check my LHS. If I do order online, I need to get something else 'cause their minimum purchase is $20 and that little guy is only $9.99. I will let you know, though.

Thanks.:cool:

I agree, but I do enjoy a spirited debate once in a while. Not to belabor this idea, but, when I was getting my post-grad degree, an Egyptian friend of mine perceived my "FIDO" attitude and imparted a saying on me that sticks in my mind (I'm not sure if the saying is from his native Egypt)...

What is it? I did a google search and I turned up links to hobby shops selling them, but no explanation what it does, what it is used for?

Since this is a public place, albeit a public place to discuss model railroading, there is always the chance that you might encounter a discussion not directly concerning the subject of the bbs. You can do two things: ignore it and move on; or, engage in the discussion. I started a thread a...

Sorry for your loses. :-(

Merry Christams everybody. Thanks for your help these past couple of months and I hope I will be needing a whole lot more.

so far so good with EZ track. i'm new to this and got a starter set with EZ track a few weeks ago. the main feature with the EZ track is that it snaps together making it very difficult to come apart on its own - you still need to line up the rails and make proper connections, so i'm not sure...

Just want to say thanks for all the input I got from "Gaugers" in response to this topic. I ended up getting a Bachmann starter set with the EZ track - a 36" circle that fits perfectly around the base of the Christmas tree - I have a tall, narrow tree. My wife already mentioned that we need...

LMAO. :D

That's because they have to under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, plus, I'm certain CA has a state version. They are not doing you a favor, they are just complying with the law.

I don't disagree in principle, Vic. But, if you look at the intelligence level of this individual, i.e., working a menial job for poverty level wages, I bet she can barely read the employee handbook, let alone fully understand it. I am a former lawyer by trade and I know how legalese sounds to...

I know I won't be shopping at walmart again. Here's the story from my local rag:

followed some links, did a whois and found the owner of that site is related to what appears to be a large discount hobby store in Connecticut so it looks legit.

<sarcasm>Wow, this poll is getting a lot of attention</sarcasm> Since I haven't yet started mine, I know that, after getting input from the members of this site, I will make my setup perfect the first time 'round. :)

Now, there's a good idea.

Let's get creative. Make a dome-like cover (actually, a cylinder cut in half length-wise). Use the 1/8" plexiglass that will be a little more than 6 feet long. The width will be determined by how tall you want the structure. Remember that C= 2*pi*r(or pi*d). So, if you want the dome to be 3...
