Hey Larry, I've been doing this for about ten years now. As for EMF meters, they are just one of the tools that I use, and I always make sure to rule out other causes for any high readings that I get. As for cold spots, the same thing holds true, I never believe that they are supernatural in...

Hey David, Thanks!

Thanks for the idea. I've already got the Woodland scenics graveyard scene, but the idea with the hearse is great! I also got the gondola car with the caskets, like the one on ebay. Kevin

A great idea that will fit in nicely on one corner of my layout! I can have the Count's castle overlooking the town and its fearful residents!

I had an open mind going into parnormal investigation, but I'm a full believer in the existence of ghosts now. When you've seen them first hand, and been thrown twenty feet across a room towards the only other person in the house you are investigating, it tends to make a believer out of you...

Those are a couple of really cool ideas, I'll make sure to work them in. Thanks!

A bunch of good ideas there! Anyhow, as to "Railway Children", the phenomena usually occurs at level crossings, and the story usually involves a school bus or similar vehicle full of children which stalls on the tracks, and is hit by an oncoming train. Thereafter, if you stop your car on the...

Not a bad idea at all! Thanx!

I am starting work on a new layout with a Halloween/spooky theme, and need some ideas beyond the usual haunted house and graveyard. I also plan to include the usual railroad lore regarding ghost trains, phantom brakemen, and railway children,(my other hobby is paranormal investigation, in case...

Hey Will, That looks similar to what I've got, except the blooms on mine are only about two thirds the size of those, and I also have it in a sort of salmon pink colour as well as the white pictured there. Kevin.

That's not a bad specimen at all, it should look good on your layout. I'm still looking for any pictures that I might have of Spirea, but not having any luck. I would imagine that there would be some on the 'net though.

I don't currently have any, but I'll see what I can find. Kevin

Hey Will, you can usually harvest Spirea twice in the growing season. In my area it is usually in July and again in September if you trim all of the blooms off after the first harvest. Kevin.

It sure does, I live just across the border in Ontario, and I have several bushes in my yard, all at least four feet tall, so I see no reason why you couldn't use it for HO Scale. I hope it works out for you! Kevin.

You might try Testors model glue for metal kits, it comes in a green tube. I've used it for white metal kits, and it works really well. BTW white metal is usually antimony, or a mixture of pewter and antimony. Kevin

I have "Babys Breath" and "Bridal Wreath" Spirea in my yard and both make excellent trees for my N Scale layout. Kevin

You're absolutely right, but, unfortunately that's the cost of doing business. Most editors,(and I know more than a few) will tell you that to stay afloat in today's marketplace, you've got to have a ratio of about 75% to 25% advertisements to content. It's a crying shame, but there's not really...
