Re: Photos......? Hello Mr Foamer, click this I wagered heavily on my local favourite which has edged into the lead in the final corners. I'm yelling all the way down the home straight.

I can't view or make little wmv files and so I only have enormous mpg thingys which raises the price of admission considerably. Dial-ups cannot afford these and even you low pingers may feel cheated. They are made with X10 surveillance cameras so the low quality originals captured with all their...

Hello Luis, By CDU do you mean you have a box that does this or have you made your own? I ask because it should be powered by a DC source.

It would seem to me that if we have someone on board that knows how the big boys do it in the real world there should be no hesitation. I do have to admit though, that no RR Co. in their right mind would ever build anything resembling my layout.

Hello DanishKnight, Welcome to the Gauge, probably the finest RR forum on the net, certainly the most helpful and friendly members. The John Allen timesaver is certainly the basis behind the idea. I thought that using members layout plan and consist would make it a little more entertaining...

Hello All, I decided I would take advantage of a few days off work to get a lot of modelling done and tidy up the train room......but, I did nothing at all except run trains. Sad to admit I even moved things like tools and stuff out of the way rather than putting them away. So there I was...

I'm not gonna use a verb if I can leave it to the next guy. Continuously

Re: Got it done Hello Shaummy, No, its just the tearing down that is sad. Putting up your new one will make you happier, showing us all your progress will make us happier too. Best of luck.

I haven't tried wetting the foam before grinding but I do tear it up into small chunks rather than trying to feed strips. I also ground up used old foam that was ready to be thrown out because of disintegration. It's not easy to grind which is why I was grateful for child labour. He gets to run...

Hello All, I see this forum covers video topics but I can't seem to find any. I had great fun browsing through a lot of the topics but nothing about using video cameras or train cams. Do we not use them or do we not talk about it. I realise that these pictures run into gigabytes quite quickly...

The honour of interchanging the Gauge box car would certainly be appreciated in this corner of Canada. I have camera equipped railfans that could be bus'd in to capture such an event. I did PM asking to be out on the list, aaah but did I PM the right person?

I certainly have no bad words for the likes of Woodland Scenics but I need ground foam by the pillow case not by the sandwich baggie. So I ground my own. I used upholstery foam and put it through a meat grinder, well OK I did use a lot of child labour at this point. I put it in a plastic...

A Happy New Year to all from Vancouver B.C. Canada where to everyone's surprise we have white stuff over everything

I felt a little naked without an avatar so I am trying this out to see if I succeded. Hmmm failed. Nope I got it. Neat.

Hmmm, I don't have a camera worth mentioning as my digital cameras all cost below $20. I do have a couple of Fuji Finepix that visit regularly. I'm not that much of a still buff. My current favourite cam is ; I also have several other X10's including a ninja(remote controlled pan & tilt). Also...

Hello Belg, I am running 3 Rivarossi Heislers, a 3 truck and a pair of 2 truck. I also run a couple of Climax's and a couple of MDC Shays. The Heislers are terrific runners and very sure footed. The Shays have no equal for visual appeal with lots of side rod action, just plain fun to watch. The...

Hello csxnscale, I guess it doesn't matter if your proposed block design is only temporary but if you were to try to run it DC you may be disappointed especially if you are having other operators. Of course DCC will eliminate any operating problems. I like to include only one multi access...

Hello Marc, I have a couple of MDC shays on my layout that belong to one of my (operators?) and would be very interested in tips to improve them. Currently they have both been dismantled for the second attempt at painting, incorrect preparartion caused the first paint job to fall off, so any...

As Lighthorseman noted, the rerelease of the Mantua 2-6-6-2 supposedly better detailing and drive and much cheaper. Has anyone seen or know what these new loco's are like. I have been lusting after one of these beauties after getting gazumped at my LHS just before the Mantua company died...
