If I upgrade, I hope to get a Super 7 or a Compact 8. I love the Unimat but it does have limits. If I get a 2nd lathe, I can just use the Unimat...
Hi Dan, Thank you much for your kind comment. I assure you, not everything I build turns out so well!
Hi Boxcab! If a British wagon had standard manual-only brakes, the undersides are pretty sparse. Those that are vacuum braked however have a load...
Hello all. Been a while since I posted over here. For the past couple years I was more active on a British train forum, as I switched over to...
Lovely stock on a lovely layout! Thank you for sharing this. 0 gauge seems perfect for British outline models; I love my Dapol panniers.
Someone was trying to make an Erie switcher I'd say. Certainly looks the part. Wanna sell it? [img]
Favorite ever? B&Os EL class 2-8-8-0s. Favorite that I have a model of in N scale? Probably my Kato Mike / C&O K3 bash.
I've removed the paint from the sides of the M26b. I left the data, as I will mask over this when I respray; as this was repainted all the time,...
We've added a pair of M26 boxcars to the freight car roster, along with a Tichy war emergency mill gondola kit which will be decorated for NYC. I...
Thanks guys. 1.4 x 4 mm. Should be able to get that from my local industry parts and supply place!
Thanks much! I have been a B&O fan since forever, and the fact I am planning the layout as a modular thing makes it easier to have more than one...
0-80! Thats it! Most tenders come with the holes drilled for the coupler boxes with two screws that go in the little ears. I just bit the bullet...
A model of a WM station that I scratched up, but never did quite complete... [img]
I think the worst, moneywise, is over. I have 8 boxcars now and 3 gondolas; I'd like perhaps 4 or 5 more gons of various types, maybe a couple of...
Thanks Akirasho. That little black and white floof was also a stray; one day, about 5 years ago, she walked in our back door, said "meow!" and has...
The locomotives have been all but completed; real coal in the tenders, headlight LEDs mounted with some white PVA. All that's needed now is a...
The screws in the tender are quite a bit smaller than the Kadee screws; half the diameter or so! I could drill and tap it for the larger ones I...
Hi all. Just a quickie; does anyone know what size the screws to mount couplers on Samhongsa / Westside tenders are? I need to mount a kadee on...
Well, the largest part of the problem is the 0-8-0s themselves. The Life-Like ones are wonderful but long out of production and now command quite...
Hi folks. I've not posted in a while, as i have been largely distracted by the bucolic tank locomotives and branchlines of Great Western country...
