Thanks, Russ and Andrew. :wave: I will try first with some old stuff. ;)

Hi, thanks! ;) (hummm. I'm older but still not feel wiser... Maybe next year.)

Thanks, friends! :D My family & me have had a nice day here (what more could I ask for?). I'm happy. :)

I don't know if this as been already answered of if is a silly question, but better safe than sorry. If I use acrilic paints (Polly Scale), can I use as lacquer the Testors Dullcote? :confused: Or I should use the Polly finishers? I have heard about some lacquers attaccking non-enamel...

Jeez! :D I don't now how it can be in the US, but here the regulations about the size & position of the vehicle lights are very restrictive (not to speak of your lady ones). :rolleyes: All non-standard modifications must get checked and pass an oficial exam, in order to get the official...

Another guy had pics of a car painted in the Erie Lackawanna scheme! :eek: Wow! I wonder if miss would let me to airbrushing my car in a nice "Prospector" scheme! :rolleyes: :D :D

This other for the Santa Fe ones: :eek:

Browsing thru the Trainboard forum, I have found these «nice» vehicles adapted for the die-hard RR fan. I wanted to partage them with you. :D :D This one is for the UP buffs:

Nope, Sir!! :D ...but I have been a long time "lurker" in the Atlas forum, were I followed the threads&posts of D&RGW fans. ;) (BTW, you have changed the nick, but still have the same signature that in Atlas forum)

Thanks RioGrande (or should I call you jimfitch? ;) ) Just now the link to MOW Equipment is unavailable, but I will try it later.

Hi, RioGrande. You're right, the Roco crane is not so-perfect match to the #028. The window layout is the most apparent difference (there are others also: the trucks with friction bearing in the prototype and roller bearings in the model, the chimney, the rear cab ladders, ...). Initially...

Thanks for the suggestions, friends. :)

Hi Gaugers, I have heard very good things about the water-based Polly Scale acrilics, so I wanted to try them. The big "but" about it is that PS paints aren't sold in Spain, and I will be obliged to buy the colours without seeing it "live" in the hobby shop. :mad: I need a match for...

Happy Birthday, FarmerRon!! :thumb: :thumb:

Thanks for these pics, CN1. Certainly, the Pennsy had some amazing motive power, specially these duplex! :eek: BTW, the J #610 is an all-time favourite! ;)

Touché!! ;) Humm, I know that some UP turbines were rated up to 8500hp (or so), and that the UP DD40AX coped at 6600hp, but what C&O diesel reached the seven-thousend figure? Or are you referring to these M-1 class coal-turbine monsters?

Thanks for the clarification, Jon, Shaygetz and Brakie. :thumb: «Dictionary of American Idioms»? Hey, I want one of these! :D My «Español/Inglés, English/Spanish» Collins is very british-oriented, and is belly up against some southern expressions of ya! :rolleyes: :D One of the funniest...

With the actual prices of oil, I suspect that the future developments will go more in reduce fuel consumption and increase efficience rather than increase engine power, but that's only my 2cts. However, it would be nice to see an 7000hp locomotive! :p

Idiomatic question Er, this time you guys have got me. What means «be off my rocker»? :confused: It's like «to be out to lunch»? (I'm afraid that you have defeated my english knowledge) :oops:

Happy Birthday, gaugers!! :thumb: :thumb:
