That's a real shame. It sounds like she panicked and froze in fear.

That's a great find. Thanks for posting the link. I can never have enough containers.

I couldn't agree with you more. I have found having a defined time frame for modeling limits my spending (to some degree at least) and also keeps me from running equipment that never would have run together. For instance, running modern 1995-2005 diesels precludes me from buying boxcars with...

I just bought a Model Power Pacific. I have to say, while it's not a Kato, it runs pretty decently.

Sounds like my cats when I run my N-gauge stuff on the kitchen table. They sit and watch. Intently. Then when you least expect it, this little paw will rise up from under the table and take a swat at the "mechanical mouse". :mrgreen: Welcome, Malcolm. Don't be daunted by DCC. You'll...

I've used the Squadron putty before, but never bondo. Sounds messy.

I had an N-gauge free-lanced railroad once. I stuck to pretty standard paint schemes, and relied on decals I made on the computer to add the necessary "umph", if you know what I mean. My basic scheme was Depot Buff with a blue stripe. But it was the herald and lettering that made the car. If...

Thanks, Jetrock. Mine has two motors, so it looks like it's the older version. Still, not a bad little loco. Maybe I got lucky enough to get a decent one. Although that does throw a clinker in my plans to drop in a DCC decoder. I'll have to get creative with the wiring.

When I laid my roadbed I glued the cork roadbed down to the plywood sub-roadbed with carpenters glue and a few staples to hold it in place while the glue set. My track is then white glued to the roadbed, using making tape to hold the track down while the glue dried. This, in theory at least...

Hello, Tyler. It's nice to see you working on such a great hobby, especially with your Grandpa.:thumb:

I have one and like it. I'm not sure if it's an early one or not, how do I tell? I've had it quite a while. It seems to run fine, and like mentioned before it doesn't have flywheels, but overall a very nice little engine. I plan on installing an N-gauge decoder in it soon.

I just received my Runner Pack and couldn't be more pleased. The lettering is crisp and clear, just what we've come to expect from Microtrains. The packaging is is interesting. I've ordered microtrains multipacks before and they've been just shrinkwrapped together or in a larger jewel box...

I have to say, I just love the Life-Like proto 2000 engines. IMHO they are every bit as good as brass at a fraction of the cost. That said, the new Athearn Genesis loco's aren't bad at all.:)

I love the F-units. Great Northern had some attractive paint scheme. I have a GN 44-tonner I run in HO even though I run BNSF. Call it creative liscense. I just got my NYC N-gauge Intermountain F-7b today. I haven't even had a chance to run it yet. I originally ordered an A/B set, but my...

I just ordered one of theses sets in PRR. It should be here any day. I noticed the packaging was a little different from previous multi-car releases. You've piqued my interest. I had originally pre-ordered this set through my LHS, but when they went out of business (family reasons, not lack...

That sounds like a fun trip. My dream vacation is to do a loop up through Canada on the Canadian, down the West coast on the Cascades and back through the heartland all by train. Sigh...some day. Have fun and let us know how it went.:)

Well, that is good news! My Father went through a bout of cancer a couple of years ago and is luckily doing very well. Truly wonderful news, indeed.:)

Wow. What an impressive model. Those turbine engines sound just like their full size counterparts. Too bad it crashed. Especially at $12,000.:cry:

This one sounds wierd, but try ladies stockings. Especially the no-run type. It's actually quite realistic. Plastruct has plastic coated wire you can adhere it to pretty easily.

My wife pretty much lets me have a free reign, but like yours, believes prudence is wise.:D As for the weathering, why not practice on a couple of pieces of rolling stock first, just to get the hang of it. It couldn't hurt.
