This is an old Mantua. If the stack falls off ( it seems very solid now, I will use a straight on that I have drilled a hole for. The probelm with it now is the cab falls of. Testors didnt hold it and I used super glu. What A dope! Some glue dripped on the traction tire and wheel and made...

This said itb had been shipped and came with a tracking number. The dealer looked legit with several thousand good feed backs. It didnt come from ebay but from the post offe it said. I can track it with the tracking number or wait a few day to see if there realy is a shippment and take it from...

I am going to have to get with someone who can show me as well has tell me about all these types of couplers. I know next to nothing about them.

It works for me but I wouldn't know if it didnt .

OK sound like a plan. I think placieng them in a diaroma is a good idea too.

I realy dont have any personal info out there. I change all pass words regularly. Ebay for example has my address as General delivery and the phone provided is a track phone that no one else has the number for. I only give my actual address to shippers at point of paymnet on line. I use a...

No I am sorry Ralph. My fault. I want to make a gallery anywhere there is such available and from time to time show it or certain pics on line, on my own forum and maybe in my emails. Like wise have one anyone can view in its entirity. I have some pics in loaders and some of those aren't...

Using ebay in this title or subject line was misleading. Ebay is not involved as far as emails go............ Posted May 10, 2007 05:42 PM I got this official looking USPS email today. I have never seen one like it so far. The shipper I have never heard of, He answered no emails I have sent...

I have several convertion cars for hoppers and general frieght. Works OK. In fack some kadee type and horn type work together quite well at times. I am just tired of fighting those barely visable microscopic knuckle couplers with my 10 thumbs and failing eyes.:(

I removed some melted plastic from both pieces with a knife then an emory board. The thick heavey duty one Bubbette gives me are a great tool, I superglues the stack back on and it did well. I repainted it with touch up paint and will later blend it all with a squirt of Dull Coat. Now I am...

That is it!

I have a few times ran into this before. I had to shorten the funnle stack on an old Tyco or Bachman 4-3-0 American or General loco as it would not clear a major structure on my pike. I took of a 1/4 inch from the bottom and sanded it level then glued it back with Testors. It fell off so I...

I am very much in favor of making some nice shelving, covenant to my modest layout for train store age At this time I have not the shelving or space that I would enjoy being able to exhibit many of my favorite and unique train pieces in HO & O gauge. I was thinking until such time as I do, I...

Don't get me wrong, I have some nice cars and engines I have bought used also a few I have kit bashed or repainted and recoupled for a certain projects, but I wish now I had acquired most of my cars and engines new and in sets. I will tell you why. I bought a lot of cars and some engines on...

Yes I have done that. Indeed some of the coupler are of differnt hights. Some are mising parts so I will box those up for later work and repair and move ahead with what works now. I have gone over the track also and adjusted the high and low spots and that helped.

I guess you have seen burning slag piles then? We had one along side the afore mentioned WVa turnpike that smoldered for years untill the EPA made the state put them out.

Oddly my real name is Rodney and I totaly agree with you. It's hard being me I tell 'ya!

Great start. No better teacher than trial and err and expierence.. I wish I had that space here. Enjoy!!:-D

I am thinking the engines wont pull much but I have quite a few cars from ebay and save a lot of cash. Low end engines and as the cheaper Bachman and life like engines are all about the same. Hard to work on, low pulling poer usualy and not realy dependable in the long run. I may be wrong...
