Brings up a quesiton of the "right" amount of humidity. I've got a slight budget from the wife now to get a new pump and i want to get a dehumidifier too what would be suggested as the right amount of moisture in the air? Oh an i've downloaded instructions on how to build a moisture alarm. I'm...

BUT my trains are safe :). I have to get a new sump pump .. it quit and shorted out tripped the efi outlet thank god 2 week wait for a new sump no hardware store in 20 miles has one :) .. but .. my trains are all safe!!!! yay!!:cry:

You got my vote Peter!! If i can buy from here instead of feebay i would. I buy when Combat offers and troll the buy/sell/trade forum whenever there is a new post. I would MUCH prefer a classified here than feebay :).

An interesting journey into information. <== no other way to explain it ;) i'd be interested in views and opinion. Edit: My links didn't show in blue trying the underline route/differnet font route Hello all, i've been involved in this hobby now for a very short period of time and in that time...

I read that tip somewhere that you put epoxy or jbweld in the frog then reshape it w/ a dremel and a hack saw and that gives you a better channel for the flanges of the wheels to roll through. Do peco turnouts have the same channel issue?

I think there are quite a few people who've asked for that kind of stuff already and they've been referred to the buy/sale/trade forum.

Hehehe, yeah no kidding one day something i listed sells for 75$ i list the same item the next day it sells for 5. Go figure.

i just had the bright idea of adding some vertical elements to my kids 4x8. The issue is i ,like you, have glued down the track :) hehehe i am really interested in how i can remove the track section i want to replace w/ a switch from the foam below it w/o disrupting the whole layout. I've glued...

Atlas also sells ties that fit the end of the flex track i saw them advertised somewhere i'll have search my browser history to find it.

I found the newest version here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151737

WOW!!! what kind of bridge is that, how long did it take you to build?

Another suggestion is to sell it. You can sell it as scrap copper or sell sections of it on feebay and buy 18awg wire w/ the money. Copper is a commodity and worth something no matter where you are.

Curious about the use of cat5 i've seen it on a couple of layout photo's on the gauge. How does it stand up to the amperage needed to run switch machines? Currently i use 18awg solid copper for track feeder and 14awg for bus. I use 18awg solid copper for switch machines. Been experimenting w/...

I was reading on their website they have a 10 year warranty on all their equipment. Have you tried emailing them?

Now those things look like they would make life really easy :). I like easy :).

No not at all :) on the contrary, i've purchased a bunch of flex, but i'd prefer to start my first module of my new layout w/ snap track. My plan is to build the yard, and other support tracks on a 3'x10' module, wire glue install etc. Then from there tear out the old layout piece by piece and...

I've also been toying w/ the idea of adding a suspended/raised track somwhere around the layout that decends into the siding and runs off to anohter module.

I was wondering what the prevailing wisdom was on mixing the two in the same layout. From what i understand atlas has something called a transitional rail joiner thant takes from one height to the other. Reason, i'm not so good w/ laying track yet, but i need larger radius curves to run my...

I think they aren't really that picky, and the two year old did already ask for a tunnel hahahaha. He saw it on thomas and friends ;0. Not sure, i was thinking i'd put a road in it somewhere w/ a building and parking lot so they could put their cars and they could rearrange the signs from time...

The finished (kinda) product. Any suggestions on what to do about the vast pink openness :). My sons and their cousin put the scenery, signs, people and cars down.
