...just wanted to try it, I guess. :) Mark in Oregon
Not a "gun person" per se either; but you never know what might work... Gee, I may have to get some of the "black" stuff and try that too. :)...
I was very pleased with how well this stuff worked on that Ulrich truck frame: [ATTACH] ...so I decided to try it with something else. I have...
When I graduated from high school in 1975, my gift to myself was a Tyco Pacific kit. I paid $14.99 for it, through "Standard Hobby Supply"; they...
I should amend this slightly. I use 70% for stripping, and 99% for bathing my motors (something I learned from the slot car guys). Dunno how...

Dunno if this qualifies as "Custom"...:) Received in today's mail one of the older Ulrich tractor-trailer rigs; the trailer is in pretty nice...
You got that right: I suppose that's why I seem drawn more towards the "older stuff". Speaking of which... :) I came upon this item a while back;...
Speaking of "workbench"... This has been my to-go power supply for my work area for ages: [ATTACH] ...has always worked well, and I think it...

The odd thing about all this is there's only so much you can do with the un-powered engine, whereas I find the powered unit easier to...
...what Jeff said... Mark in Oregon
I found this issue to be particularly interesting; some mighty fine work going on in Z scale... Mark in Oregon
Nice photo...and a great link, too. Thanks! Mark in Oregon
Wow. Those look like nicely detailed O scale models... Mark in Oregon
That looks terrific: what type of powered chassis will we use? Mark in Oregon
FWIW: I just wanted a large test loop and opted for Fastrack: I like the tie spacing better than the MTH and it seems to work very well... Mark...
Sure...PM me. Mark in Oregon
