I must be gettin' old 'cause I got more excited about the EP pics than I did about the thought of pictures of a Danish model...:p :D Tom F

I have had a problem with this for longer than I care to admit. Vic's suggestion works fantastic as it allows the waste from the inside to flex without warping the styrene which causes non straight cuts. Thanks, Vic--but where were you when I needed this information 20 years ago?...:D :p Tom F

Not to bring up old urges Jon (...:D ) but a local Hobby Shop here in Phoenix has the Fleischmann DSB unit on consignement for $49.00. I ran it and looked it over and it is in perfect condition (even the wheels are squeeky clean...). It looks brand new. If your still interested in a "two...

Clobber indeed!:D :p Especially since we go to great lengths to promote The Gauge on The Railroad Forum... Many of us felt it was not our place to attempt to "re-create" The Gauge to suit our desires. We have our style and The Gauge has its style... We try to offer a somewhat non competing...

Aha! I knew I saw something like this somewhere in the distant past...:D It does look like a cold storage warehouse, although the one I saw was in Omaha. Tom F

Drew, in the third picture of the MOW flat, there is a "service structure" in the background (the black one). What is it and where do I get one?...;) Tom F PS: You can keep right on posting shots of this little layout--what a joy!

Oooooo!!! Love those Alcos... Man, those rebuilt ATSF critters get around. I can't swing a cat in the southwestern U.S. without hittin' one of 'em...:D Tom F

Can you boot from a floppy disk? You may have changed the settings in the bios to look for a different drive to boot from. You may have also "removed" the hard drive from the bios settings, which would mean the computer would no longer see it. If it is an older computer, it may not have an...

One more thing. If you are going to play with caps, don't make the same mistake I did and assume "blasting caps" hold a charge better than an electrolytic. I got a charge out of it when I put a charge in, but I was unable to duplicate the results as I could not find enough pieces of the loco...

Oh man, you're gonna' set the drapes afire one of these days, I just know it!...:eek: :rolleyes: :p Tom F

Speaking of cats, one of the gandy dancer dudes turned up missing yesterday. All sorts of wild theories abound around the layout (from aliens to a jealous little plastic husband) but I personally think it's the cat. He barfed up his breakfast and now he won't look me in the eye. I have taken...

I just moved a computer out by the layout/work bench so I can read and post while the glue is drying...:D Some people stretch and take a sip of coffee, I turn around and type... Gotta' maximize the time resources, you know...:p Tom F Note to Michael: Don't feel bad, Jon get's more...

Hey Drew, I was trying to remember where I saw this logger... :D I have a bunch of white metal plates at work that I saved from the garbage can that are similar in size and shape to your scratch built flat car base. They come off of POS computer terminals and we throw them away by the...

Gads what a SUPER shot. I think it's time for a calendar, bud... With the other couple shots of yours I have seen, I'll buy one in a heartbeat...:D Tom F

Sheesh, all this chit chat just to get this little bit of information? I'll summarize it for those who don't want to read the whole thread: "Jon can't afford to play with a two headed Danish model because he doesn't have enough money..." Then again, with all the genetic experimentation...

Re: wireing problem solved What? You say that like it is a bad thing... Now if I could just figure out how to take the layout with me when fishing, I would be in heaven...;) :D Tom F

I got all excited the last time I was in San Diego and couldn't wait to get over there. I headed down there first thing on a Monday and... They were closed...:eek: :mad: ;) I had to console myself with taking the tour of the Museum of Man and looking at all the monkey men...:D At least it...

HO Time? Oh yeah, that whole size/relativity thing... Great now we have to deal with scale time as well. So, if my little HO switcher guys are working a shift, how long in REAL time before they die on the clock? Anyone have the formula to calculate this? With all the layoffs recently (the...

Rampant unemployment! Oh, the humanity!...:p I see a trade union coming... "Gandy Dancers of the World, UNITE!!!"

Thank God you clarified this statement. If you had said something like "the stuff I posted the pictures of is really poison Oak," I'd have been ever so worried...:eek: ;) :D "So, (scratch, scratch), you cut the stems (scratch, scratch), and remove the seeds (scratch, scratch), then you...
