    Galloping Goose

    Thats Super, Dave! Where do I find "Precision Scale Models"? I've tried a web search to no avail. The 24" wheels are just the ticket. Are these spoked? Rich ------------------ Rush Run River Logging Co.

    Modeling tools

    I just received a catalog from a company called "Micro-Mark". They seem to have about any tool, power or otherwise anyone might want for modeling. Has anyone ever done business with them or heard of them? They are located in New Jersey and say they ship worldwide. Rich ------------------...

    Hey Virginian, Unfortunately, you can't directly transfer a photo from you computer to this site. First you need to send (upload) your photo to a web hosting site then access them, here. There are several sites that allow "image hosting" for free. That is, they will let you go to their site...

    Galloping Goose

    Hello Dave, I did go back and change the image in the first photo on the "Dusey" page. Initally I had edited and stitched the two pic's together. The scale of the car looked like a 1:24th scale next to the loco. I've since changed the size so that it appears a bit closer to reality. I haven't...

    90's wreck in Ohio

    Anybody know of or have info on the train wreck resulting from a "hotbox" that wiped out the old train depot in Salem, Ohio in the early 90's? I've posted this at other sites but haven't had any responses. Thanks Rich ------------------ Rush Run River Logging Co.

    Galloping Goose

    Shamus, The Drivetrain is an HO Atlas, Alco S2. The Duesy body is a metal 1/52 scale Lesney, cut, trimmed to approx. 1:87th. (I'm not that mush of a rivet counter, but it looks ok with my scale gauge. As a first run prototype, I want to learn from this one and then try a more elaborate version...

    Problems with Bachmann 3 truck shay

    OUCH....Shamus I share your frustration. During my short HO career of just over a year, I've heard very few comments that were good about any Bachmann product. The positive statements you provided regarding the Shay, with all its drivetrain gearing and couplings, gave me reason to believe they...

    Galloping Goose

    Shamus, I located a source for spoked wheels for the Goose. The Bachmann "DeWitt Clinton" has spoked wheels and will work, but they are plastic. Also, Marklin has railcars with metal spoked wheels. I do have a slight problem with getting the juice back to the motor, so metal is the only way for...

    Modeling tools

    Hey Dave! Now there's an idea I can get into. We have a local Flea Market that sells dremel's for $15.00 each. I like the idea of having several with a different attachment in each. Save some time fumbling to change tool ends and in my case breaking almost every disk I try to remove. I've only...

    Modeling tools

    What power tools do you use for kit/scratch building? I would be lost without my variable speed Dremel and my cordless drill. I use cut-off disks and polishing wheels and of course, drill bits in the drill. In scratch building It might be nice to have a fine tooth electric saw, maybe a small...
