If the momentary motion switch as we will now call it is the same as those found in the flashing balls then we just solder the spring to the pole in the center and we have a perm conection that when supplied with power from a 9 volt battery will result in flashing lights. The "momentary motion...

Hey gang, Has anyone taken notice to those completely annoying shoes that some kids have (including mine) that light up when they walk? They have these perfect little red lights in them that when removed and placed into a "burning" building simulate what? You guessed it fire,lol. Anyone else...

No contact from Oprah as of yet. Still waiting to see what is going to happen with it. 77Railer

Wonderful Wonderful Internet. After doing some research on old faithful I have found that the eruptions last 1.5-5mins in length and reach an average height of 130 feet. So I need to re-calculate this thing. 1hr=45secs in scaled time 5min=3.75 sec So the eruption needs to last about 3sec which...

CO/2 now why didnt I think of that. All those games of paintball at the house. We even made a field and had people come from all over. Had a heck of a big tank of co/2. Lasted a long time. It cost like $75 to refill. I imagine a smaller tank would last a good while. Could test it at the...

Before I start I realize that time is time and no matter how small or large you are time remains a constant, however, having stated that, I am thinking about one of the modules for the club depicting Yellowstone. More specifically, old faithful and the lodge that is located mear yards from it...

Tthanks gang, yall are coming up with some good ideas. Im thinking that we are going to go with the 4 foot modules and use a 36" flex and a 9" straight leaving 1.5" on either end of the module for use of a 3" connector track. Im thinking about having the outside track at the ends 3" from the tie...

Yes, I recieved the package today. Thank you for your help. If she contacts me that would be a really cool thing. There have been several people that have contacted her on our behalf. Guess we will see what comes of it. I was giving the club some thought today. I have been in litigation if that...

I hope I didnt open up a can of worms....this N trak that yall are reffering to...Im supposing that is Nscale? Couldnt we commit to spacing/setback and use it for any gauge? For instance we could say that it had to be 5 inches from the front and 3 inches from center to center, and 1/2 or 1 inch...

Hey guys, I was just thinking how cool it would be if we came up with a standard as far as track placement from the edges as well as connections etc, and built a module or two from that standard. I know that all of us arent close enough to play trains together but how cool would it be to go...
