Very good, I'll go along with all of that. Picture might of been late '56 as they usually came out with the next year's models around Sept. I...
[IMG] In the picture that Russel posted (above) there are some other cars in the background... [IMG] [IMG] ... and trucks. Anyone want to...
A friend of mine ran ... [IMG] ... the Buick above at Bonneville. Set a number of records in different classes. The fastest at 144 mph.......
Been out of town so haven't been able to do anything physically on the layout but .... [IMG] ... have been working on the supports for the coal...
Good question. I'm somewhat selfish with my time being 78. Pretty much want to design/make items that I can use personally at this point in...
Not sure if I ever posted the rerailers I made for the layout to use for the track elevator and other places here or not. More about them...
Basically it will so the reason in my mind not to use a lower heat where the heat travels further before the solder flows. Sumner
Or start making your own. Very rewarding. Have you found the ME track? Has been out of stock most places. I personally really like it. Sumner
Yep, in the end you need to get the joint hot enough to melt solder and it has to be hot enough for the solder to flow in the solder joint. The...
A quick look on eBay I see 100 #2 3/8 inch for a little under $10 including shipping. Sumner
I moved the continuation of this build over to the 'Layout Design Discussion' area as I thought that was a more logical place for it ........
I decided that maybe I should be posting this layout build here. If not please move it.......
Yes Glenn if someone wants to print without having to do to much a FDM printer is so much easier and cleaner to deal with. Won't do quite the...
Good idea. I took the easy way out and bought an Elegoo wash/cure station. I bought it and the Photon resin printer a year ago and still haven't...
I'm sure one could use any number of drivers. This was my first experience with stepper motors and drivers. I found a video on the 6600 and also...
Not sure how this is going to turn out but willing to give it a try. I've considered many options to raise and lower it and have finally settled...
Track Elevator Part 1: Next up is the build of the track Elevator that will sit in one corner of the layout. It will hopefully move a train that...
[IMG] Here are the links to the two sketches I used on the two Arduino's. This is the first coding I've done for Arduino's so one can probably do...
I've seen them on their site in the past, not sure about now. I have two of the Kato sets of two, one lighted and the other not. You know more...
Thanks, maybe the U50's don't need the milling on the top either. I'm so use to doing it that I don't check before hand if I need to do it :(....
