Brian i'm not sure I understand. Are you saying CN is "leasing" the equipment? From who? Illinois Central is long gone. :(

:) Hmmm it was 56 degrees here today. I froze! :) Tonight is a low of 28 and tomorrow will be back to normal at 70. Yea! Rain? What's that?

Can someone explain CN - IC Repaint's....I'm assuming they are former IC engines now working for the CN railway???? Why leave the rements of the IC?

Found it. I grabbed this article sometime ago from another forum. I'm afraid I can't give him the proper credit as I didn't grab his name. I'm talking GLEAM!: ULTRA_SHINY and Smooth rails can now be had with my 'WHAT box?" approach to this conductivity problem. An HO modeller since 1970, I...

I would discourage the use of anything abrasive. Abrasive materials will cause micro pits to form in the wheels actually encouraging more dirt and grime to adhere to your wheels. Normally not neccessry to use anything abrasive. I guess if it's that bad a plastic knife would work without...

Pictures---Please don't laugh You'll notice the ballast started to float on the ties. I think I figured out what caused it. Instead of dumping a lot of alcohol and soap on all at once... I started to do it little by little. Taking my time. :) How am I going to remove this????? I...

I'll try the wax paper. The one thing bad about hot glue it seem even after I shaped it. It still wanted to warp a bit. Soon after it didn't look natural. I've been told Model railroader did a two part article some time ago concerning the Donner pass layout. It was done completly in...

My test results with hot glue. -I used a mock building from cardboard. Used the flap to dangle some hot glue off the edge. (My cameras on the fritz) But the hot glue got very stringy and didn't leave any base at the edge of the roof. (sorta a tear drop rather than an icicle) Does that...

Hmmm Mr Rand Hood....I'm interested in seeing some examples. Any suggestions? I did a simple google search...vague results.

Anyone have suggestions for creating icicles in ho scale? I tried hot glue and it was difficult to get it formed and was to flexible. I was wondering if magic water would work or maybe clear silicone? Does it dry hard?

There is a lot more to the letter. It's very specific information concerning IP etc. Dates and times and what was being downloaded. Cox also forwarded the letter from the company. It was signed via PGP also. The gift card deal. Not all cards "had" scratch offs last year. I'm...

Well this layout is coming along. I'm using it to prep for my full size layout. Some things I have learned and have questions about. I promised I'll post pictures once I get my camera problems worked out. I purchased and used Flextrack for the entire layout. It was difficult to place...

Recent issue in my line of work. Nieghbor asks me to look at his PC. He says it's been slow. "Familar right!." So I go over a discover that his wireless network had 8 other computers connected to his wireless router. I suspect they were using it for anon P2p traffic downloads. He sent...

Got mine. Interesting material. Almost feels like fuzzy card board. I actually got two sets. I thought I messed up my first order so I ordered again. I think I want to try my hand at scratch building. I need a garage....Ahhh should I just start hacking away or is there a starter guy...

Tis’ the Season ! BEWARE Thought this may be a helpful tip to pass on: Well the crooks have found a way to rob you of your gift card balance. If you buy Gift Cards from a display rack that has various store cards you may become a victim of theft. Crooks are now jotting...

I hope my attempt this weekand looks half as good as yours does. Hope you don't mind if I reference the pictures. :) I'm using woodland scenics snow. I hope to replicate a post blizzard condition. Deep snow!

www.moreleds.com Which is actually http://www.quickar.com I put in a order into these guys yesterday. :) Great prices. Relived that I won't have to pay 4.50 per LED. :( .50 each is better deal by far. I actually emailed them because their web site is confusing. :(

Nope. I went to the site this morning to see if I could check the status.

Not completely mine but I'm pretty proud of it. I have another flat car with a camera load. Still working out the bugs so no pictures yet. And it's definitely not prototypical.
