I was thinking of doing some bidding on a few rolling stock cars that are made by Bowser but I don't know anything about this company and if the models are any good. Anyone know anything about these models?

Iguess it all depends on what you are looking for. I myself want nice details and I'm willing to spend the time to get them but I don't want to break the bank for each model. I'm thinking I'll try the branchline blueprint since they are less then $20 and good details. I will wait till I...

Docwayne, Thanks for the info this is a great help and thanks for the extra photos of the bay in this post, the water looks great. How many layers did it take you to get this water done? The white caps on the waves are great, did you need to paint those or do you have any tricks on how you got...

Doc, For the waves in the harbor did you use the sponge on the plaster or the clear media used to represent water? I understand the bay is set in the back of your layout but I would like to see detail close-up photos of the waves since they look so real in the one you've posted here. Thanks...

Being new at this hobby and never upgraded, the standard equipment that is installed on rolling stock I wanted to know how would I know what is the proper parts I need to get to replace couplers and trucks on rolling stock. I would like to replace the cheap couplers on some rolling stock I got...

I'm not discouraged at all. In fact I'm enjoying the time I spend researching what to do with my railroad. I'm enjoying the time I spend looking, reading and learning so I'm far from discouraged. dhd

UPDATE: With all the feedback I’ve gotten and the fact I’m not happy with the way this layout looks (mostly because it’s not good) I’ve started over. Since I’m moving one day soon (within a year) I’m thinking I need to keep looking at the long term layout and not a small layout for now because...

Here is a copy of my first attempt at my layout. I’m working in HO scale and in the modern era. I would like to get feedback from other on what is good or bad based on what I’ve done so far. I’ve worked with xTrkCad and have attached the file for you to view the work done thus far. The curve...

Thanks everyone for the help. I know I have a fondness for the Pennsy but I'm not sure my layout will be a true Pennsy line. I'm thinking I want my empire to be more of a creation of my own since I'm not starting out to recreate a true model of the PRR. I do want the model to be as real as...

Jim - Would you suggest I use something other than code 83?
