Morning all, I was wondering if anyone on the Gauge is using fiber optics to light the interiors of their buildings? :) It seems to me to be an easier way to illuminate different areas within a particular structure without having to place individual lamps in each location within the...

That is what I decided to try... That is exactly what I decided to do. :D However I noticed that the maximum number of turnouts I can control on a route is 3. :( I wonder if a better power supply might give me capability of contolling more? Regards,

Morning all, I was wondering how you all adhere advertisements to buildings? Do you use decals? How do you make them look like they have been there a while? Do you just glue them on? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks,

Thanks ya'll for all the great input. My engine is now working fine and I did not have to send it back to BLI! It appears to have been a problem with my DCC system and not the engine. All is right with the RR world now. Regards,

Hey guys, Please note that there are some steep grades on my layout and these are not prototypical at all. I needed to do this to achieve what my final look will be. I am sort of compressing the space since I have limited room size. As far as costs go I am running a DCC setup on this new...

Thanks for the encouraging words folks, - Yes the track at the rear is elevated. - Yes I have been running trains. It was my goal to have trains running by Christmas. Also, I want to continue running trains to flush out any flaws in the track before moving into the scenery phase, which...

This is a combination of 3 pictures merged together through Photoshop to make one birds eye view of my layout as of 12/04/04. Regards

Sure is a beauty. I don't know much about price but if it's fair ... you would give it a nice home. Regards,

Good EYES rcline, Yes I do have 2 auto reversing loops in this layout. I will try and take a birds eye view of this layout if I can. Regards,

Well guys and gals, I was playing around with accessory routing today on my MRC Prodigy Advance System and it's really cool, once I figured out what the directions were actually trying to say. ;) I put 4 turnouts into route #1 and when I pushed the appropriate button... 3 of them...

That treehouse is really a great idea...I might have to add one to my layout since I spent many a day in my own treehouse as a kid. Thanks for reminding me of those days. Regards,

Thanks Thanks I would appreciate that info,

What a great layout!!! Very detailed and an inspiration to all of us modelers. I agree the water fall and water features are great...how about some details on how this was accomplished? Regards,

Mornin' All Anyone know where I can buy HO scale birds? I know they were available a few years ago but I can't seem to find anyone who still manufactures or has them available. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Picture of my layout update... I have been working on my layout ... little by little... and I wanted to send a picture of my progress. First let me say that I know the grades are steep. But it was necessary to accomplish the look I want to eventually have. Here is a link to a sort of birds...

I like using the Dremel cut disc to cut my flextrack. Use goggles and be careful because at that high speed sometimes a small piece of track will fly off. Not only does the Dremel do a neat & clean cut but it sands the cut end at the same time. Regards,

SHEESH...now it is an intermittant problem.... I am really confused :confused: My problem seems to be an intermittant one. Sometimes when I power up my DCC system, the loco will run and then other times it just makes the sounds but will not run. I am starting to think it has something to...

I just received my Broadway Limited NYC J1e, that I bought on November 4th, and am having a major problem right out of the box. All the sound effects work great but the blasted engine WILL NOT run :mad: I went through the whole recommended factory default jumper remedy in the Operator's...
