Some use an empty white glue bottle as their applicator instead of the eye dropper. They say you can work faster that way. I have used the eye dropper method - only way I've done it - but I think I am going to try the other method.

Paul, A very Merry Christmas and I'm guessing you already got your best present, your health.

With the new decoder technology announced by Lenz with less reliance on track power (I think its called USP). I'm not a battery fan. Why? Well all batteries have a lifetime and when they go to battery heaven another battery has to be installed. Of course this isn't such a big deal if it is a...

Talk to SD90, also; he has a great layout.

In all the forums I belong to I would say the number of Canadians active on modelling railroad forums is around one hundred and fifty folk, but this is spread all over - from the Layout Design Sig at Yahoo, Trainboard, Atlas, Digitrax, etc. I know there are modeller's active on forums from...

For the past four or five times I have logged onto the Gauge Chat after about 5 to 10 minutes I get the boot. I don't have a fire wall and nothing has changed on my computer that I am aware of that should affect this outcome. I do run adaware, spybot and an antivirus program, but these...

It stays lit for the entire run.

The CP holiday Train is perhaps one of the most decorative trains in North America during the Xmas season. Below is a schedule Dispatcher42 produced and I have copied and pasted it here. If anyone has the American schedule that would be great (there are two trains): Subject: CP HOLIDAY...

Now to celebrate you have to go out and stop in at Timmy's and get soup in a bread bowl, then go to another restaurant for Poutine, then have a Canadian beer, then over to Mc Donald's to get chips with vinegar, then go to Ottawa to skate on the canal, then to quebec city to walk on the Plains of...

Those of us who have have been posting for a long time usually will get in some political stuff, but it usually has to do with the thread. For example, on the Atlas forum in the N scale area, some one posted about BC Rail, so I gave a critical critique (political) about why the rail had been...

I belong to a non-club club. This non-club is made up of guys who belonged to clubs but didn't want the hassles of a club anymore (the original club was disbanded when they lost their layout area). But the same guys have been meeting together on Friday nights for the past ten years. I had the...

I used a commercial backdrop over hardboard. The hardboard is attached directly the wall with screws inset a tad with sanded plastic wood over. I figured no matter what I did, the walls would have to be repaired and painted. I decided filling lots of small holes and sanding them and...

I will look for you.

Our annual train show is on at the Cameron Centre in Burnaby, BC for any of you Washingtonians willing to brave the drive and the border. If you need directions, contact Central Hobbies at www.central-hobbies.com and ask Bill for directions. It opens at ten this Sunday the 9th of November, and I...

A 22 inch long ship in N scale would equal 293 foot long ship in real life, not a very large ship for intermodal...lol. I know you were just funnin, but I thought I would check it out.

I bet this one sets a new high for an Atlas price point.

I use Peco 55 as talked about above. The major negative of it is that the ties are slightly to wide apart (not that big a deal). The track I would love to buy, but doesn't exist is Peco Code 55 set to North American standards. Peco 55 turnouts are the best turnouts available in N scale...

October 4 & 5, 2003 Model Railroad Show The first weekend of October is slated annually for the Lynden Lions Club Model Railroad Show, held at the Northwest Washington Fair grounds. I took this off the chamber of commerce site of the town of Lynden. If some one lives there and...

I purposely don't download the latest version of IE. When I run into an IE problem - rare but it does happen - I down load the latest version and for some reason that fixes the problem. If you don't have the latest version, try downloading it and see if that makes and change for your.

Great stuff and N scale as well.
