I wonder how long that car has been like that. The weathering indicates the "addition" has been on there quite awhile. Whoever it was, it must have taken quite a bit of effort to get it to look that professional. ITLX obviously didn't care. They just stenciled right over the dirt.sign1

All lower case is my pet peeve. It takes a certain level of arrogance to ask someone for help, while not taking the time or care to write a readable request. Fortunately, it is not nearly as bad here as it is in the computing lists.

OK, this has to be a typo (11" X 12" X 2" wide). I assume you mean 11 foot by 12 foot by 2 foot wide, not 11 inches by 12 inches, by 2 inches wide, which is what you gave. There are professional layout designers, but they charge in the thousands, from what I have heard. Why not try designing...

Not according to Armstrong. He says that you can even use a #4.5 with up to 30" radius curves. #4.5 22" RCR, 36" SR #5 26" RCR, 44" SR Basically, he argues that #6 and #8 turnouts are space wasters on model railroads, especially with radii of 24" or less. Other than the comment regarding...

The Armstrong book is considered the bible of track planning. He goes into considerable detail in this area (too much for me to repeat verbatim), but these are the numbers he came up with after years of track planning experience. A lot of people recommend "Track Planning For Realistic...

I found these in John Armstrong's "Track Planning For Realistic Operation" for HO. #4 15" RCR, 29" SR #6 43" RCR, 56" SR #8 67" RCR, 110" SR Where RCR is the radius of the closure rail (the sharpest radius in the turnout), and SR is the substitution radius for fitting the turnout into a...

I received a Trix Twin set for Xmas when I was six or seven. Haven't thought about that for a long time. Funny thing, I remember the switch controls clearer than anything else.

You want pictures of the bushes I trimmed plus the two I yanked out of the bed? :confused::confused::confused: You can quit laughing anytime, scubadude. :oops:

Yeah, I know to skip them until last when he starts the thread, but if he's in the middle....... :cry::cry::cry::cry:

As I understand it, the tender section of a three truck Shay is supposed to articulate. If it didn't, it would be very limited in its ability to negotiate sharp curves, which is what Shays were supposed to be able to do, along with handling rough track and steep grades. Yours may be derailing...

I know. I know. I may regret that one........

Boiled potato, banana pudding, buttered papaya, bean puree (peasoup) ??? What??? :)

I was planning on working on my kitbuild challenge project, but my wife says I'm gonna do the yard work this weekend! sign1sign1sign1sign1 We probably shouldn't ask for a description of the yard goat. :D:D:D

Makes sense. I have that package installed and did not get the error. I think that Debian may install that one by default. I can't remember not having it installed. Could be just my lousy memory, though. :rolleyes:

Why, that won't get you the missing fonts any easier, will it?

Lots of logging in the southern US, too. Everything from tank engines to geared locos was in use.

Neither one. It is measured to the centerline of the track.

Which is why I said "was." :D:D:D 13' was pretty much the norm for the heavy steam, early diesel era. Today, when 13'is specified, it tends to be the absolute minimum allowed.

The man said he wanted to be more scale. He didn't say anything about not wanting the difficulties exact scale brings to the tiNy gauge. sign1sign1sign1
