    Don't waste your time on this......

    My wife is a lil P.O.ed but I think it's hilarious!! :D It's almost like a "HA! HA! We got you..SSSSUCKAAA!!!!". I mean this thing is so thin and unrealistic it's just plain funny. Thats all I can say. Oh, that and I'll never order another one of their products again... but I'll take this one...

    Don't waste your time on this......

    I'm not sure if this would be the correct forum to post this but if it's not, moderator please feel free to move it to the correct forum. I posted it here because it's an HO piece. This thing is junk! I ordered the Helljan 188' Trestle bridge (#174) and I don't think I could roll a Tyco box...

    Need help with weathering

    If I where you..I find some elcheapo Box cars and just lay into em. Thats what I did. Ive only done a couple though and to be honest they where fair at best. I did try a couple of methods on my last one but to say the least I thought the dry bushing with chalks was easiest. (If you don't like...

    Weathering Powders

    :D That was funny. Ive been searching around and I think I will be using an assortment of items. I will try some of the AIM Products powders, some of the Reeves Gouche watercolors, and a splash of Rustall. It seems from the pictures I have viewed that each of the items add there own special...

    Bad, bad, Bad, Newbie mistake

    I think I pretty much have the wiring figured out. Using Realroads "Majic Motorman" I simply follow the diagram below. Looks simple enough.

    Bad, bad, Bad, Newbie mistake

    Maybe these pics will help you guys understand my layout a little better. It would be hard to understand the first image I posted unless I was able to make it 3 dimensional. Okay, lets see here...... Pic #1 shows the track layout outlined in colors. The green lines represent the Upper level of...

    Bad, bad, Bad, Newbie mistake

    I'm not sure which one you wanted but the first one by Circuitron (AR-2) is basically the same as the one you linked me to but has the addition of being able to stop the train once it moves over the opti sensor for a user set ammount of time from 1 second to 1 minute and is carried by...

    Bad, bad, Bad, Newbie mistake

    After further research I decided to order the VSC Realroads "Majic Motorman". It's about 120 beans but I figured that it would be well worth it since I don't have to worry about sensors to change the polarity and thus not needing to worry about the placement of the sensor. since. The Majic...

    Bad, bad, Bad, Newbie mistake

    Just what I was looking for zedob! :thumb: I actually think I'm going to get the AR-2 model which would allow me to pause the train if I like. You saved the day for me! I was just about to start ripping things apart...like I said..."I suppose I need to be more patient". It's a good thing this...

    Bad, bad, Bad, Newbie mistake

    It's been a disapointing day for me. I suppose I need to be more patient. I have my entire track laid an spiked down and about 40% of my terrain is even built. Whats the problem you ask? I didn't give it much thought until doing a little reading up on wiring and realized that my track layout is...

    Have Question about items before I buy....

    Not insulting at all.(I asked for opinions) :) Although for free.... I'd probably snatch it up. My motto "If it's free...... It's for me". heck I think if I could talk him into taking $30.00 for it I'd buy and set something up for my son. Hes only 3 and he loves to come down and talk to me...

    Have Question about items before I buy....

    Well the $150.00 I had pinched back, I was going to use to buy an Intermountian C&O F7A and since I really already have all the track I need, all I really wanted to buy was his rolling stock (so I could practice my weathering without taking a chance of ruining my Kadee box cars) but he said all...

    Have Question about items before I buy....

    I was chatting with a friend of mine and he mentioned he had some old H.O. gear that belonged to his Grandfather if I was interested. I took a quick inventory of the items and was wondering if you guys thought $150.00 would be a fair offer. The items are listed below. He told me to make him an...

    Glass/Other Details F7

    I ran across it while looking for some windows for my Athearn F7A & B. I will most likely just order the dress up kit from Walthers since I am going to order their F7 interior anyhow. I saved the web adress though so once I get my layout up and going I can work on a little more detail for my...
