My undec came with quite a few spare parts to model different tender versions. I believe LifeLike came out with a SAL version. I couldn't find...
I second! A how-to thread about acrylic painting would be great. I have several freight cars I'd like to paint with acrylics. My experience has...
As always, looking great :w20z6q: ! Do you lay your own track?
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I've narrowed things down to several steamer images and posters. Mrhedley, I've seen some prints from...
Thanks! Both sites have some good images (railroad and otherwise).
Anyone know of an on-line source for railroad prints suitable for framing? I'm looking for one or two railroad prints (particularly steam...
My mistake! I'd better stick with southern roads! The B&O used color position signals (two lights). Check out...
B&O Signals? I've definitely seen those tri-color signals in the US (Ohio). Aren't they B&O prototype? The look nice :thumbs_up:
After doing a bit more research, I'm going to press ahead and make an attempt on building a locomotive kit. Thanks pjb for the site. I'll email...
After the comments on my earlier "European HO Models" thread and visiting Wolfgang's website, I'm on the brink of purchasing an HO steam...
Jean-Edouard, are you located in France or Italy? Do you have a layout or do you just collect at this time? Thanks Chris
Jean-Edouard, yes I was in the US Air Force, but I was never stationed in Europe. I spent a few days in Ireland, England, Germany, and Italy at...
Good points all! I'm looking at doing an locomotive service area switching layout in HO with small equipment (0-6-0, 4-6-0s, 36ft rolling stock)....
Jean-Edouard, Most of the European rail fans I've met in the US are military or ex-military who had been stationed in Germany, the UK, or Italy....
Wolfgang, My German is not what it used to be, but your modeling is amazing in any language. I especially like the weathering you've done on the...
Out of curiousity, what are the European equivalents of Atlas, LL P2K, Stewart, etc. locomotives? Are these locomotives as quiet and smooth...
Was heating the reason for using steam on passenger trains or was there some other use? If it's only for heat, would a passenger train need a...
Loco1999, Just some food for thought FWIW: The thing that jumps out at me with what you've laid out is the 36" reach (minimum). That seems like...
I hope these are done. SAL and SOU are my main modeling roads. ACLer -- one of the models I told Jim I'd like to see produced is the ACL M-3 or...
For any interested in Southern Rwy models in N scale, I received this from a mailing list. Jim King of Smokey Mountain Model Works is exploring...
