Hi all, well after collecting allot of "n" scale stuff and a few "HO" things I think I have made the jump to On30. I got one of the Bachman sets and I love it. It moves slower and not as smooth as my Kato "N" scale stuff, but I cannot take my eyes off of this stuff going around even on a...

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY and so true.

I agree I would love to see it too. Good Idea.

Robin, I will never look at a cereal box the same. Where I work they throw out tons of what is called chip board, it is just cereal board 8.5 X 11". everytime I see this stuff I think of you and of all the possible structures that you could turn this waste into. You have inspired me to think...

All I can say is best wishes, I know where you are, I have been there myself.

Hey Russ, I live just east of Sacramento. So I can go anytime. One of theese days........ I will get there. Today I got to see it leave from the Roseville Yard and then raced ahead of it to get a look at it running at full steam. Lots of fun. Even the wife was excited see it. Great day

Hi all. Sorry no pics about this, but just wanted to share a little bit of my day and give a BIG THUMBS UP to the Union Pacific. I know that allot of time we love to hate the UP. With thier big bully mind set at times and the UP models costing us more than some other road name. Before...

Just Got Mine Just picked mine up for $9.84 in Roseville Ca. installing it as we speak. thanks for the heads up.

Just an FYI

Hi, How do I remove the shell from a Kato RS-2? I want to clean it up inside and I don't want to break anything. The second part is what is the best way to clean it up inside. It runs kinda rough at times and great other times.

Looks great Jim, What did you use for the mold? Did you cast this with Hydrocal? What is the original from, I love the look and would like to make a 3D version for myself. Thanks

Brakes,,,,, We don't need no stinkin brakes

No layout yet for me, my day to day things involve reading "The Guage" 2-3 times a day and working my trackplan. Not so much track plan now because I think I got a finial version. I just need to work out the yard and some of the sidings. Now moving on to aquiring realestate for the empire...

DITTO to all that has been said before

Thanks for all of the replies, I was able to get a f7 set for $70.00 (used, but in great shape). Ran it around today for alittle while and very happy with it. Thanks

Does anyone know if the Kato engines in there sets are of the same quality as the ones you would buy by themselves? Have a chance to pick up one for a fair price but worried that the engines are Cheaply made for the sets. Also wonder are the ones in the sets DCC ready? Thanks Much

Thanks for the reply. I do plan on having a seperate entrance/exit for exclusive turntable use. My plan is to have the Turntable/roundhouse add to the flexibility of the yard not take away from it. I know that it may not be prototypical and I am not to worried about that. Yet I don't want to...

HI, I am working on the same thing. I am using controll rods from model aircraft that work great. That plus a .37 piece from home depot and a little music wire. I will try to get a pic up later. Good luck.

Yes, that was my thought exactly. I was thinking that a engine could go head in to the yard and then disconnect and escape. I want a roundhouse and turntable and I thought that this would be a good way to get more use from it. John

Hi, I was drawing up some yard designs today and thought about a typical ladder yard, but at the other end have it go into a turntable. The turntable would serve a roundhouse for engine storage, but would also be able to serve each end of the yard. Has anyone seen this? I don't imagine it...
