I keep fresh water mostly. I just tore down a reef tank that I was experimenting with.... It did good for about 4 years and then crashed.... My 135 can be seen here: http://community.webshots.com/user/guppyman_2 Under My Stuff... Those are some older pics from about 2 years ago, but it...

guppyman comes from my other hobby.... Not one that I'm nearly as into as I used to be, I'm down to just one fish tank (Sure it's 135 gallons, but that's beside the point).

You could always go get a can of Great Stuff expanding foam.... I saw a web site a long time ago where a guy had made his mountains out of the stuff... It was pretty cool. It's cutable and paintable, so who knows what you could do with it?

I've watched this thread with interest for a long time... I've gotta say you've done some amazing work Gavin! This would be a great how-to article if you ever decided to write it up.

I wrote the Bach-man about it..... "Date: 12-26-02 21:32 Dear guppyman, Your locomotive should quiet down considerably and you break them in. They are geared for lower speeds. Happy Holidays! the Bach-man" So I guess they are designed to sputter at a crawl around the track...

Thanks guys.... I talked to my g/f just a bit ago and we will be returning it this weekend. I will be getting either my first Atlas or Kato to replace it. Now to figure out which to get......

My girlfriend got me a new enginge for Christmas... She tried so hard to get it just right BUT.... It is a Bachman Spectrum F7 A&B unit (both powered). When I stuck it on the track yesterday.... This thing is LOUD... also it creaps around the track... She was very dissapointed with it's...

Hey guys.... Thanks for the suggestions and the plan! I swear, people in this hobby are great. Here's a thought I was having on the rise.... I haven't totally worked it out just yet, but.... Mountains on either end of the 12' run on one wall.... Do a one loop helix type run (hidden)...

Are the two walls at a right angle? Yes Are there windows, doors or other obstructions? There are windows on both walls, but they will probably be covered over for this. Is your main interest coal operations? Not necessarily. I was thinking about an industry that would fit in the...

OK.... This is N scale... I am about to start construction of my new layout after the first of the year. I have 2 walls in a 12' x 12' room to use, and I can probably come out up to about 3 feet. What I am thinking right now is having one wall be double-decked (20" seperation), with the...

Mornin all- It's chilly out this morning.... 64 Maybe it will dry up over the weekend so I can get the mower out.... The grass that's still green is still growing. Looks like yet another year I'll be mowing on Christmas Eve. What is this "snow" (?sp) substance you people keep talking...

I have a dummy also- Actually, the way I've been running them lately is the faster, the slower, then the dummy. The reason for this is my current layout is the Woodland Scenic Scenic Ridge- 4% grade. I was looking for a good way to pull more than about 3 cars up the hill.... It works out ok...

I have 2 of the same loco (LL GP38-2) and they run at greatly different speeds.... So if I want to hook em together, which one should go in front? And will it cause problems for either one- being pushed/pulled by the other? And no- I don't want the "Those engines suck" type responses...

Just thought I'd say howdy.... been lurking around here for such a long time now, it's about time I say something.... Hmmmmm.... Current temp is 73. At least there is a breeze to keep us cooled off a bit. Went tree shopping Sunday in shorts. Christmas shopping is finished! Got all the...
