Good find. I have a number of Japanese EMUs from Kato and am trying to figure out how to run them all in the layout we're working on... Thanks,...
I have the number 8 Z turnout from FastTracks, and it is a challenge, but can be done with some patience and practice. I've seen a bunch of the...
I recommend the National Transportation Museum in St. Louis. We visited there while at the National Train Show in 2001, and there is a lot of neat...
I'm not sure how or where you heard they made a larger layout in Japan. They don't have room over there for NTrak modules in their homes, much...
So why not get one of these guys who can do casting or the folks who do the rapid-prototyping to do up some replacement trucksets? You don't...
Problem(s) identified... problem(s) solved. Sorry, Tim, but it looks like they staff the Atlanta office with local folks only now, so I probably...
Hey Tim if you're bored and want more variety, how about taking some of the (seemingly abundant) SP Gundersons and re-do them into Norfolk...
I agree with Hemi... Just use several light coats, instead of going heavy. The GP35s may or may not need primer, depending on the paint colors you...
You should keep both sets of turnouts. The left side ones are the "end" of the passing siding, and the right side ones facilitate a runaround...
Take photos step-by-step in your processes and write up an article to submit. I'd be happy to proof read it for you... (God knows enough...
Hey, that's pretty neat. Did you just use undec shells you bought, or did you trash a couple of locos for parts? I'd be curious (and now that...
Why couldn't you request and get a set of SD40 truck sideframes (or the whole unit) from AZL? Don't they keep spare parts around? Adam
Hmmmm... I have one of the UP "American Flag" grain hoppers that came out after this one... Being as I don't care of UP anyway, maybe I'll see...
BRILLIANT! Man I never thought of coffee filters, but that makes sense... Probably because I don't drink coffee. I'll have to try this up at...
First off, I recommend switching to metal wheels. These just run better than plastic. Based on information from HO guys around here, you could...
Hey that's cool stuff! Something we could use on our N scale Japan Project for the underground stations. Where did you get the camera and...
TIMMY!!! You da man! Adam
That's coming along nicely... Looks like a well-used and weathered unit. Which unit numbers are you going with? The boards are installed upside...
Amad? There's a chuckle. :D No, no photos. I haven't had a layout where I could set up more than 20-30 of them in a row. And that was up at...
Combining with the WGH on Tour??? Brilliant! The one in Chantilly was in conjunction with Greenberg's show... To join in with WGH will make it...
