Hey Redhorse; what is the other forum are you talking about?

I haven't been recieving the daily e-mail from Zealot. I am wondering if this is my fault or is something wrong with Zealot??

David: I know about the C lamp modification but wasn't sure if it work judging how longthe length of the worm gear is. I guess one would just have to grind the clamping part of the 'C-clamp" the accomadate the gear. Thanks for refreshing my memory. Leon

I had already installed a new washer in the motor at point 'B' of Squidbaits demo and this already fixed the problem pretty good. So I figure problem solved; but I do have another question pertaining to the worm gear. I have no gear puller and was wondering just how to best go about this...

Hi Squidbait; Yellowlynn and Nachoman;l Thought I would answer all of you at once. First off--it is the top photo Squid. Lynn--I know what you mean about the motor mounting but the performance varies way too much and Nachoman I think what you suggested is what I read awhile ago. All of you...

Hi Squidbait; The steam loco in question is a 4-6-0 old timer. It was my first HO set bought and I think it was called the 'Old Timer' The drive gears are what I would call average with the worm gear attached to the motor which is meshed to the main drive gear. No other gears involved...

I have a older loco which must be around 25 to 30 years old and it runs a lot better in reverse than forward. I remember an article which addressed this problem but my memory escapes me as to what they said was the cause and also what to do to remedy this. Would appreciate some feedback. leon

As always---many thanks guy's Leon

Just wondering--does any one have or know where to view pictures of PRR steam before the 40's and 50's?

I bought a spray can of 'Scalecoat II' paint not realizing it was for plastic models. Does someone know if it will be good to paint a Bowser locomotive (which is all metal) with this after undercoating or should I perchase the 'Scalecoat I' which is for metal and wood?

Thanks Dave; I thought you had to have a fast feed also. Thanks for clearing this up for me. Leon

I used to put up a layout for Christmas each year and I would use a cardboard box's of different sizes and cut my tunnel into them. Then I would cover them with crumpled paper and lastly with "Mountain Paper" sold at some habby shops or stores that sold trains. Worked fairly well for the short...

hi dave; I have a drill press and was always wondering about using it to drill models with. My question is: how much of the drill do you leave exposed?

will Scalecoat II work well on a Bowser all metal locomotive kit.

I have DURO super glue. Stated on back: 'Fingers Bonded? Soak bonded skin in warm soapy water. Gently massage bonden fingers back and forth to "peel" bond apart. Use rolling, peeling motion - do not pull.' This is what put up a flag for me.

Thanks ezdays. Sure has relieved my stress. what brought this on was the information on the package where it says to rinse your hands in warm water should one glue their fingers together. This just got me to wondering. Thanks again. Leon

I have just finished a Bowser I1 Decapod locomotive and was just currious since I used Crazy Glue to attach all of the super detail parts. I was just wondering if washing the loco in soap and warm water would have an effect on the glue. If so--what kind of glue should I have used? I am in the...

Hi Ray; I am now going to try to make the repair of my locomotive. First off, I have to find a supplier for the brass tubing. Cross my fingers and wish me luck!!! Leon

Hi Ray; I am about to try the fix on my loco with confidence(thanks to your article) but am still a little puzzeled. Do you still use the sleeve on the collar of the gear after you glue the axel in the gear or is this not necessary with this fix? Thanks; Leon

Hi Ray; I have a o-6-o Bachman switcher where the back drivers pull apart and throws everything out of quarter. Would I have to use the same repair on this locomotive as you used on your 4-8-4 loco? If so, I am just wondering if the axels on my loco are the same as yours. Thanks a Bunch, Leon
