    Another reason to go to Micheal's craft stores

    Wow, that looks excellent! I was just at Micheal's yesterday, I cleared out their 11"x18" foam sheets, that I'm planning to use for under laying roads. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/crowley/ashphalt_roads.htm They were on sale for $.33 which is what Wal*mart used to charge for the 8"x11"...

    On Track, with Deano

    There was a SP Geep that was "messed up", if I remember right it had a basic SP bloody nose, but with UP yellow replacing the scarlet. I knew there were photos of 6344, I was commenting on how dirty she's gotten since the 2nd repaint.

    On Track, with Deano

    Sad part is you'd never be able to tell she was messed up: http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1063609

    How about a scale vehicle thread

    Saw those, bought every car! Funny thing, I've only seen them outside of CA (bought mine in Kingman AZ).

    Building and Kitbashing a Walthers Cornerstone Refinery

    Honestly, I think the setting stuff is/was a waste of my money. I've since run out (almost 4 years ago) and never looked back. The 5-15 second Insta-cure+ as worked for me. I'm sure I'll be kicking myself in a few weeks, when I find a use for it though!

    Ebay & A*&&holes !!

    Don't worry, I've been there. I now put a disclaimer that what you see is what you get. Ebay staff has "informed me" that this is the only way they will not listen to the buyer, but rather listen to the seller. Never needed to test it in the last year+. I wish there was a better option then...

    Building and Kitbashing a Walthers Cornerstone Refinery

    Hobby retailers. Check in the hobby section of Michael's, they might have some. Their website only shows Crazy Glue, though I swear they carried Zap-a-Gap in my local one. (Note "Glue & Adhestives" in general crafts section [yes it's spelled that way on their site!]) I buy mine from the...

    SD9 Conversion

    The F45/FP45, SD45, SD7, SD9 all use the same style Athearn truck. They should work the same. Later styles, such as the SD40-2, SD40T-2, ect would not work, as the pivot point is lower, and of a different style.

    1880's paycar

    Mhmm, pretty much every Copper Range car follows that profile. Funny part is both #60 & #25 began as the exact same type of car (#25 was rebuilt by Copper Range from #59!). Right now I'm using La Belle wood kits, I have #60 almost done, however she's not exact, so scratch building might be better.

    Super Glue is CA, however, CA is not Super Glue, get what I'm saying? Stick to hobby CA, not the crazy glue crap at the local retail store.

    Help me choose a color for my Blue Star Ready Mix Trucks?

    I've always wanted Spiral mixers. My current "project" company is called Inland Cement Contractors, and they run tan trucks with red drums, or red dumps. I'll be molding 4-5 separate companies, Blue Star was one idea, so I'll be interested to see what you choose.
