W-o-w Spitfire, I am very impressed with not only your craftsmanship, but your eye for detail. You surely have a vision for seeing things the way they truly are in this decade, and you're following up with your vision, I have no doubt that your layout will be a knockout, and probably already...

Many Thank's For Your Ideas Everyone has good ideas, about size, weight etc. but unfortunatly the tables are already built, I think if I had it to do over, I would have built them in 2ft X 6ft , or 2 X 8 Ft tables that bolt together, I now have nearly all of the track work completed, and really...

Give Me A Good Runner Over A Good Looker Anyday!! :thumb:Wow Dock, for the work they do, the visibility wouldn't be an issue for me, as personally I derive as much joy from running of my railroads, as much as the model and diorama building itself, and I would have much more fun running a...

Where Can I Buy Wahl Oil Over the years I have heard of using the Wahl Oil, and everyone that has used it has had nothing but praise for the stuff, I still don't know where to buy it, I have looked at our local hardware store, and they don't carry it. Anyone have a website to order it from...

Atlas NS Code 83 I go over my layout HO Gauge, Atlas Nickel Silver Code 83 about twice a year as preventative maintenance, with a big eraser, seems to do a good job at removing the dark areas. I don't usually have any dead spots, except the other day, I did have one, and after cleaning most of...

Hello all, my title sum's up my question, I'm curious to see if anyone is currently modeling the GTW Railroad out of Flint Michigan, Detroit etc. or has in the past? Being an old Flintite, it would be interesting to see representation of that RR. I Googled it, and found plenty of information...
