    What glue?

    Hello, I use a variety of glues depending upon the situation. CA=Cyanoacrylate=Super Glue. Can be had at Staples at three tubes for a dollar on sale. Usually you only get 1-5 chances of using the tube though so make them count! Also, plane/rc hobby shops have all sorts of fancy CA glues now in...

    Shelf Switcher Shortline Help! (HO)

    I started on a version of the Timesaver Plus which was featured in the Model Railroad Planning 2003 version. It is kind of a timesaver/inglenooks but with scenery and a different operating idea. I believe as planned it was 2x8 in HO scale but you could easily put a staging yard off to one side...

    another Wal Mart find

    Yeah I have bought a couple of the model power ones because they come in different colors than the wal mart ones. They cost twice as much but they are all really nice models.

    another Wal Mart find

    When I was a kid my dad had an old E type that he had a trailer hitch on for his motorcycle. Hell of a thing to do to a really nice car. I doubt that the jags could handle a load any bigger than a motorcycle. His trailer was light enough that you could pick it straight up. Fun stuff :thumb:
