Thanks for your replies , Krokodil , i like your little yellow shay very much i hope mine turns out as good as yours look.I like the look of the smaller 2 valve shay to go with my MDC 2 truck and Spectrum 3 truck.I have made enquires from NWSL about the powerkit and am awaiting arrival of...

This is a fire water tank car made from the famous MDC 3n1 kitbash range. Ian:wave:

My Wife bought me a Lifelike starter trainset one xmas , after playing arround with it , i bought the 1999 Model Railroader Best Layouts magazine , on the cover was Geoff Knotts brilliant HO logging layout Leigh Creek Lumber Company. Even after that it took a while to catch on , having a...

Has anyone done the NWSL upgrade to the Keystone dummy shay ? How hard is it ? If someone has a scan of the NWSL intruction sheet it would be appreciated. Also i am a little confussed about what you get in the NWSL upgrade , i presume its a motor but do you get all the gearing as well...

I had a bachman jupiter for a while , it ran OK at full speed and with no points in the run, but thats not how i want to run trains. I now have a IHC Old time amercian , these are a great improvement over the Jupiter , with pickup off the loco wheels as well as the tender , they still stall...

Thanks Drew (spelt your name right this time) , they are very nice models might have to get some. Cheers Ian

Very nice drew , any chance of a picture if the brake rigging on ubderside of those? curious Ian

I have never had that problem and i have been using Floquil paints for over a year.However i do thin them with Diosol by about 25% , maybe try some more thinner and do multiple coats. Cheers Ian

Lovely craftsmanship Paul , as always, any chance of some more photos of those camp cars in the future? Cheers Ian (envious logging modeler)

Love it , can't wait to see some more photos , particulary the gear side :D Cheers Ian

Train Control System (TCS) decoders also have a 1 year goof proof replacement waranty , i know for certain as i have tested this out :( The replaced it with no questions asked , even though i thought it was mine own fault that it blew. cheers Ian

Heres a picture for those of us that are drooling..........

Thanks Ron for the news , any chance of posting the URL for the website ? Cheers Ian

Is this the old or new Rivarossi Heisler ? I thought the new one was DDC ready? as for the old i kinda was wondering that myself. Maybe a n scale decoder if it dosn't draw much current. BTW must have missed the previous photo shoot , but i love this one :D Ian

Found this on ebay , it quite expensive though , worth a look just to drool :D also it appears that the gearing actually works as well ! N scale shay on ebay Cheers Ian

Brilliant scene and detail , what method did you use for the water and what scale is this ? Cheers Ian:p

Very Nice Paul , On3 allows you to see a lot of details that you may miss in HO , i was delighted to be able to see the bolts on your early shay and see the soot on the face of the driver. Keep the photos coming when you can , they inspire us :D Cheers Ian

Recently installed a soundtraxx plug and play sound decoder in my bachman 3 truck shay , however i can't seem to access any cv value past cv8. I am using the Lenz compact unit , i can program all cv's on my Lenz and TCS decoders but not soundtraxx. Anybody eperienced similar. Cheers Ian

I got one of the original Mantua 2-6-6-2 Loggers , they are beautiful looking locos . cost quite a bit on ebay and it came damaged , but well worth it. When i saw that Model Power where retooling them and the retail price my jaw hit the ground , at that price i may just need another one:D...

Very Nice Paul , simple and cost effective , i imagine for a logging company that would be the idea. I like the logging caboose as well , did you scatch that as well ? gee i would love to see this layout when its finished. SL&NGG ! :D cheers Ian
