wall1wall1wall1 I never should have used vasaline or anything. The squeek went away but now the loco spins its tires and the track gets dirty quick from dust. I have a very dusty workshop. I also do wood working and the saw dust is something I just cannot aviod. :cry: I used up all of my...

I decided to lube a little portion of the track anyway and I will tell you what, my train has never moved so fast. I only used a very little bit of vasaline on about 1/4" of the track just to be safe and the result was amasing. If I glued wings to my loco it would probably fly. LOL

I know the feeling. It has taken many years to get used to it. And I have had to replace soooooooooooooooo many bricks that rumbled loose over the years that I can't even count that high. :eek: I am actually afrain that one day my house is going to fall on my head. :eek: Peace, Roch

Sorry I just had to laugh about that one.:wave:

Where in the heck is Stockholm, WI ? I did do a lot of traveling in WI and never heard of the town.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the reason I have been having probs with N-scale is because of my poor eyesite. Would anyony like to make a donation to the Roch needs new glasses foundation? That was a joke. :mrgreen:, Roch

Thank you, I learn something new every day. Roch

I have all of my life and I do not meen withen a few miles. I am talkin' withen several feet. It used to keep me awake. Now I can't sleep without it. Roch

:thumb: Thank you for the reply and advice. :thumb: I kind of thought it would mess thinks up. The reason I considered using vasaline is because I was not about to spray it WD-40.:eek: Peace and love, Roch Now if I could only remember what my next thread was...

I know this is a useless reply, but I learned something. I did not know you could do a smoke thing. I'll have to try that out some day. Thank you, Roch

This may sound silly, but my train squeeks when it passes over parts of the track and I was thinking of putting a little vasaline on the track. I do not want to ruin it after all of the time and effort I put into it so far. :wave: Roch

Ok I figured it would mess up my loco and I can not afford a new one.

"Don't go on the roof. (Don't ask)" wall1 Ever try to help someone off a roof that has a fear of coming down ladders? I am scared of hieghts and the fool that was up there should never have been. That fool is my best friend by the way.

They do not derail. Some one just told me that when I bought my train set. Roch

WOW, I will have to check out "z" some day. I am having a tough time with "n" but I am creative and love this hobby. I ended up glueing and nailing my track down. Nails just did not cut it. Roch

Has anyone besides me put lead weights in a couple of their train cars? Someone told me to do this when I bought my first set up to keep the trains from tipping off the track. All it did for me is slow everything down and come to a complete halt on any incline. wall1 Roch

Which is smaller? I work with "n" and never even heard of "z" till I jioned this site. :eek: Roch

:wave: Hello, I use oil paints and small brushes or q-tips. It is a pain to clean up but I like the way it looks. roch

Thank you Jim & everyone. I will be online for awhile and try to answer other posts. Roch

Ouch, I know how that feels and did something similar. It involved me , my cat, a trap door, and my head. The cat had no problems but my head sure did. If I could scan my head and send a pic I would. I am not even going to try that though; Peace, Roch
