    What's the shipping to Australia, we don't have Denny's down here.
    Put em up on Ebay, I'm sure the bids will start coming in.:tb-wink:

    No Dennys?

    No Dennys? Another reason to love Australia!

    SHipping to OZ

    Im sure you would want the overnight express delivery. Only $59 delivery charge(American$ for what thats worth). But I do throw in an extra complimentary applicator.

    I forgot about this, I'd need left handed ones, sorry.

    Is that left-handed because you are left-handed? Or is it because we're Downunder? If so, then we'd need right-handed applicators - I'm left-handed too!

    for the simple pleasure of this thread alone, I hope you make enough on this product to retire and play with, I mean model your brains out.

    Hemispherical differences in applications

    The double-bited applicators eliminate any confusion.

    At train shows, we do give away the double-bited applicators (as shown at http://www.bullfrogsnot.com/pages/How_to.html) for free! Even to those who wonder why they've stopped at a table labled "BULLFROG SNOT" and then walk away shaking their heads.

    It is truly a strange world.

    I tried with a Kato NW-2.

    It used to pull 2 cars up the test hill.

    Now it pulls 8.

    I am impressed.

    Just be careful. I'm reading more and more about the worm gear on these little engines beginning to slip on the shaft after being used for a while. So the added traction of the bullfrog snot might speed up this problem.

    I can see why you fellas down-under would be interested in acquiring some North American applicators. While looking for Aussie applicators I came across this photo of one ready to be used. It appears that it may be a bit large for applying Bullfrog Snot to N scale locomotives. Though, it may be useful for 1:1 scale Bullfrog Snot application.

    Except for the boomerang, he could be one of our wranglers out on the Mojave Swamp.

    That photo was taken back in the days before it came in jars and we had to go out and catch our own frogs.

    Well, I'm convinced. I don't suppose there are any samples left at this late date six months hence?

    From the, For What It's Worth Department:

    Rumor mill has it that it didn't make much difference. With no qualifying statements or examples given. I have to wonder about that. If we can use it to replace those hard to get, traction tires, then it's a great option.

    Talking to a friend he suggested ordering out another driver, traction tire ready. Apply bull frog snot to the original and the added driver. Or better said both drivers and the traction is considerably increased. On the locomotives I've tried it on (mainly locomotives where I can't get traction tire replacements) Ie., 2 @ Rivarossi 4-6-2's, a 2-6-4 and a Mini-Trix 2-10-0 I now have four locomotives that have been returned to the active roster. Pulling power is as good or better then the original traction tires. Thanks to Bull Frog Snot they are back in service.

    My over all response to this new product is positive and I would encourage you to give it a try. Follow the directions they give you and it is relatively fail safe.

    I put some on both wheels of one axle of my LL GP20 when 'snot' first came out. I have run it well over 80 hours total. The GP20 now mostly sets in the yard (waiting for track to be laid lol) It does go out now and then (I like to run what I have). The snot has NOT shrunk, stretched, split, flaked off or deteriorated in any way that I can see. I still give 'snot' high scores...JMO.

    Same report for my Spectrum 2-6-6-2 which now pulls a similar load to Walthers Y3.

    In the latest issue of N Scale Magazine, there is a full two or three page article on the product. I THINK it is written by the manufacturer. The bottom line is that the product works.

    It's been advertised & mentioned in Model Railroader, with a trial by whoever does that sort of thing. According to this person, it does indeed do as advertised.
