Cooler than cool! :thumb:

I replaced the original power pickups with telephone wire and now it gets much more power than before. There is nothing hanging it up and no oil or dirt on the tracks. I know scaping it will not solve the prob. It was running just fine before and I do not have the money to buy a new one. It is...

Does anyone know of a cool site to download pics of trains to color? I found 1 and am looking for more that I can color in with all of the crayons and pencils I wasted my money on.

The thing is that it is not pulling anything, and it does this at random places. I will figure it out somehow. I did mess with the pickups on it and it gets too much power now, I think. I put spit on the tracks and that helped a little. Next I am just going to solder all the tracks and just work...

Paint first in a non gloss earth color.

This is a first for me at least...... Now it is as if I have grease on my tracks. I don't. I have no incline at all. It is perfectly level. My train wants to move and is trying hard to do it. All it does though is sit and spin its wheels. :curse: I do not understand this and it is really...

It is not the kind you can see through and I was going to ballast it. I have decided to end the cork where the bridge starts and ends to keep the track level. Thanks again, Roch

Thank you Loren. :thumb:

I hope I ask this without cunfusing you all. Still no camera. I am working in n scale and have a bridge that is going to go over a river. I decided to lay a cork roadbed because I did not like the sound of the train running with the track on the styrofoam. Should I have the cork go under the...

Very sweet! :thumb:

The kids in my neighborhood are always catching free rides on trains and seem to love it. Once I get my layout looking better I plan to show it off to some kids around here that are into gangs and spray painting trains. I hope they think its cool and get into it and away from the gang and drug...

I finally figured out how to capture stills from DVD's so that I can find a cool train pic and make a new avatar. balloon6 Thank you to whoever mentioned using POWER DVD to me. Roch

Very cool. :thumb: That is something I was looking for when I started this thread. Movies sure have come a long way.

Great news! Glad all is not lost. Just hang in there and all will work out for the best. Whenever my life really throughs me a curve ball and I think life could not get worse it always gets better. I know I complain about minor setbacks with this hobby, but that aint nothing compared to the...

See the folowing link to see what happened with my layout. http://forum.zealot.com/t157186-2/ :wave:

I have thought about that also. Let us know how it works out.

Sorry this don't help you, but this this thread sure will help me. BTW, I think it looks great. I am going to be doing some water work soon, I hope. I bought the same product and now I have a great idea what to expect. Thank you.:thumb:

Jeeze, I thought I had it rough. All I did was mangle my hand a couple months ago. It did screw my winter railroading up. Hang in there and with time, which passes way too quick even though it seems like it is dragging when bad things take over, all will be better. :wave: Roch

I just finished watching "THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS" which has been mentioned. It is a good true story. I still have not come across any that have not been mentioned. Having a hard time keeping up. :thumb:

I like your website and pics. :mrgreen: My cats finally got bored of my trains when I had a mouse infestation. :eek: Here is another thread about cats and trains. http://forum.zealot.com/t155441/
