Shipping an item from New York takes like forever compared to California, Washington etc......Not only is shipping cheaper, but gets here quicker. Thank you all for your suggestions.:thumb:

There are no shops here that I would buy from, the 2 that are are 3-4 times higher than anywhere else. Online & mail order are my other choice.

I am still researching the 1850's-1890's era Romania. It was suggested that any old German era might be adequate. I have been looking at some buildings. This one for the industry along with a sheep farm as these were the actual working industries from that era. As for the community, I was...

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good, reputable online shop on the West Coast or in Alaska?

Great job! My wife asked "whats the rent?" when I was viewing them. lol

Look great, but the water looks so.......still for a creak. Nun the less, it still looks good

Years ago I did, now I just use the computer.

Very nice! If you don't mind me asking, what for camera are you using?

No....lol, my avatar was courtesy of this website. I'll get around to making my own here soon. @ w8ji Thank you!:oops:

Sorry guys, I hope this is allowed as I didn't see anywhere to post it. I did this last night in Paint Shop Pro X2 using my Wacom tablet & stylus...enjoy! (It has been scaled down, original is 10x13)

Good morning from a cool -2 Fairbanks Alaska.....not to bad actually! Going to finish our ghetto tunnel for our HO Yule tree today. Cardboard boxes, Popsicle sticks & construction paper...lol. Hey, If it's good enough for Shelby......works for me!

Sure does help. I'm extremely confident in my soldering abilities, so that will not be a problem. I agree, less joints is better.

While trying to come up with a track plain I started to ponder whether or to use flex track or sectional. My plain is a 1850-1890 Romanian logging community through mountains and forest terrain. I'm going to use that era steam engine if can acquire one.

Well, umm...........I have never in my lifetime seen anyone model that region. I thought about doing it in N scale on a door. Of coarse it would be a logging community as thats what they did in that region & era. I'm also tempted to scratch build this..and place it on a hillside

It's possible that the contact is only making contact when the center of gravity changes (ex. going around corners). You may want to remove the "body" of the car and check all connections. Of coarse cleaning the track may help as well. Just my $.02

I may just have to change my ideas a bit cause I'm still unable to "gather intel."

YES!! Working self employed as a graphic artist slash Custom computer builder........stressful at times, more-so than not. It's nice to sit down to something enjoyable and stress free. Then again I also race slot cars and nitro & electric radio control, but those activities are a family affair.

I'm going to order 5 sets of #5 this weekend.

No it doesn't look like that, from what I can tell.

We all learn from our mistakes, thats where we gain experience. When someone shares their errors with others, really helps the "new guys" as long as they paid attention. My father always said "If your going to get into this hobby, plain for everything you can think of then take your lifetime...
