Tom's right on all points. Unless you've toasted the bios altogether, which means..... :mad: :eek: Do what Tom says - if you can get it to boot with a floppy and the drive isn't visible DON'T PANIC. Once you've been able to boot, shut down and open the case. You need to get a look at your...

As a tryout I recently placed and order with http://www.hobbylandinc.com and it arrived a few days later with some discrepancies in both price and product. :( After writing them about my problems, Doug responded with a commitment to not only credit my card, but to also send the missing items...

David I really like what you're doing there - most impressive and it looks to be a real interesting layout. Since the pics only show so much, and I'm interested in seeing more of the other end, you wouldn't happen to be able to show a trackplan would you? I'm always up for stealing someone...

I had to stick with HO 4x8. (don't cry for me 'cause I don't have the 120x250 basement layout with 20 engineers each in their own massage chair - it's just fine as it is) BUT I'd like to tear out the front half and expand to 4.5x8 or even 5x8 and re-lay that portion of the layout to...

Why thank you Mike. :D I really enjoyed making it and hope you find it useful. Naturally, I can change it if you'd like. Sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant with the white / orange reefers thing. I use Macromedia Fireworks for this kind of work. Used to use Photoshop but it was...

1- Do you spend far too much time read/answering questions in the forum ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Probably do, but less than before. Originally was searching for answers to help out - now I read and post for fun...

Okay... since someone else posted their own design, here's one for you.....

Hi Michael - I don't have a slogan for you, but I would like to suggest a different font to represent J. Clarke. Strictly from a design stanpoint, you want any logo to be instantly readable and identifiable. It took me a few moments to make out what it said as the font's loops stood out more...

I think Cobblers Knob is just below Cobblers belly button. :D :p :D :p

Thanks Guys. My layout is in HO - has to be. N is very practical, and I'm really surprised by the work I've seen posted on this forum - it's REALLY good and most impressive. But my fingers and eyes just aren't up to working with anything that small.

yeah... I fell for it too. Had the lotion out and everything. :D

Charlie - no color yet - that's the tile itself. Stage one is only to get the stuff glued down. Stage two is to put the wire brush to it and get rid of the fuzzies. Stage three is filling the cracks and covering tops with sculptimold. Stage four is painting and weathering. Stage five is add the...

After a month of no modeling I decided to get back to work a bit. Latest effort is the west side ceiling tile rock faces and foam waterfall. Here is a link to a page containing the stage one pics of this adventure. http://www.moctezuma-us.com/bonkyrail/content/rocktiles.htm

I apologize if I've missed something, but I always thought the points needed to be set to safely control the train's route and were not moved by the train itself - wouldn't that be a formula for derailments?? Do real trains do this? I sure didn't think so, seeing as the ground throws I've gotten...

bars, taverns, head shops and mortuaries! :D :p

Oh goodness, gerbs4me.... now you've done it. You've entered the world of model railroading, a world from which there is no return. Once you've had a taste of this, the greatest hobby, you're going to want more and more of it and there's no end to what you can and will want to do. This is one of...

Thanks Tom. I am actually in the middle of defusing a small device someone put under my chair. Looks like if I remove the red wi .......................................................

For those interested parties, last night I rewired my little engine and was successful at both getting it to work as I wanted and, most important, getting it all inside the shell. What I had to do was lengthen the motor leads and place the resistors in the front portion of the shell with only...

Gary, you are right on target. I had planned on buying three of those bad boys: one for Thomas, one for James and one for a little teeny steamer I've got my son also enjoys - he calls it the "chugga guy". BUT, the best price I found for them was at Traintrack.net and he's out of stock. Being...

billk - you're not too far off as far as some DCC users are concerned. Cryptic is what than sure can be!! CV stands for Control Variable, but believe me they could easily be called cryptovariables too! :D ;) :p
