In defence of the original 0-4-0's, From the word go, I swapped out the plunger springs for those from the Kadee freight trucks part # 622s if I remember right. mine are still going strong. It was during the replacement of these springs I decided these lokies were never gonna go DCC when I...

For those of you would like to modify/paint their Shay with out having to destroy all that plumbing - here's how I removed my bodywork in one piece with out destroying the look....... Actually the removal is quite simple. Use a scalpel or thin blade to dislodge both the seats. Now turn the loco...

1) Hadn't thought about guttering - will have a look at the Grandtline catologue to see what's available. 2) That Shay is a Climax and the stack came straight off a Bachmann OF 2-8-0 - just needed a longer screw to secure. 3) Weathering - woss dat? nothing else is weathered on the proposed...

Having not posted anything for ages - here's some pictures of the On30 2 stall shed I'm working on. Still to be done is the glazing and final 3 windows and the addiion of Grain-o-Rice bulbs for interior lighting. Flooring and external planking courtesy of coffee stirrers - roof is ply sheet...

Probably the biggest con is that it has no computer interface. secondly any firmware upgrades means sending it back. I've only just got mine - after initial teething problems ( me, not the system) I like it a lot especially the round knob throttle which I find easier to use.

URL for RTS, Please? Google search throwws up too many references to find what I think you're talking about. Thanks David(UK)

This one is for UK Listers. My local hobby shop ' Wakefield Model and Craft Centre' must have the cheapest prices in UK for 0n30 stuff - their web site is: https://vault1.secured-url.com/model/, it's fairly new so the bachmann stuff is not up there yet - worth giving them a call to see what's...

Wait til you try to remove the lettering off the new OF 2-8-0 - damn near impossible! Worse, it's placed right along the rivet line. I lost a few rivets in my attempts on the first one. The second one got painted over! Walton Logging Line ? Goodnight Johnboy, Good night Elizabeth! Plenty of...

I got mine from my local hobby shop in the UK last week - not the one I wanted, but at his price too good an opprtunity to pass by. Qick lick of paint and it's just what I wanted. Really nice model and a good runner, although I've only run mine on DCC. Regards David(UK)

Your question is clear, but I don't know the answer! However, I have the PA and it runs my Bachmann and BLI locos just fine - yard work is excruciatingly slow, you can time the rotation of the Drivers! There is a mode you can switch to that allows the control knob to be used as a reverse/forward...

The practical Operating radius for the Shay is 18" - the minimum reported radius is 15" The practical Operating radius for the Climax is 18" - the minimum reported radius is 12" You'll need to set your track centres at 3" apart. No major problems with either locos, except that the Shay surges as...

A nearer source of 1/48 logging folk ( and others!) is Tower Models of UK http://www.tower-models.com/ Look under O gauge> Falcon Figures Pictures shown are of painted - supplied figures are un-painted. The figures are reasonably pliable around the legs and arms, so you can make some...

Great stories Loved the subject of this thread - now I have a favour to ask...... A Model Shop over here in the UK liases with a firm called Falcon Figures, this firm produces 1/48 scale figures for the UK On30 brigade. So far we've had Engineers and Firemen, Passengers, critturs and Loggers...
