Thanks guys Thanks Catt and Greg, I won't be buying the Porter just yet, (disposable funds are not to hand here). I was thinking of scratching a body for perhaps my 44 tonner, SW7 or one of my MDC Shays, that's why I asked about typical widths and coupler heights. Like Charlie, I'm dreaming...

Steve, I agree with Glen, I've airbrushed with Floquil onto zinc castings and brass but not onto plastic as I hate cleaning airbrushes twice (once for the barrier and then for the Floquil paint). Eventually, I just just settled for using brushes for both Floquil and Polly S. The results are...

Silly HP personnel ..... hehehe Them highway patrolmen aren't the smartest LPS by a long shot. :rolleyes: The contraband liquor is in all the 300 hollowed out and sealed nails in the Box !!!!!!!! :p :p Box shippers are the sneakiest sort of characters, no telling what we get up to. :D...

I'm loosing my will to resist assimilation. I first became interested in On30 when I came across Laurie Green's "Old Ophir" modified (with scenery) "timesaver" which is actually On3. He has since changed his URL so I won't post his obsolete one here. What fascinated me was that he had (in my...

Wow! Super modelling and crystal clear photos Shamus .. me luvs 'em. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Oh dear!!! ... I feel that "you will be assimilated" feeling, especially after surfing On30 sites during the last 1 1/2 hrs. (I'm weakening to such influences, will I ever recover?). Errol

Now I'm confused! I've stayed well clear of On30 for space reasons but am absolutely fascinated with it, especially after seeing Gauger's photos in here. :thumb: :thumb: I just misread Philip's question as being "can an HO scale CAR can be used on On30?" I ran into problems converting...

I salute you guys As I'm not into conversion kits (without knowing exactly what's in the kit) I have only today read this thread right through. My Keystone Shay was bought about 20 yrs ago and I remember at the time what a gem of a loco it is. At that time there were no insulated spoked...

I was keeping this for June contest I thought June contest was to be "Scatchbuilt Bridges" and was going to enter this next month. I scratched both the Warren Truss and the foreground bridge from a combo of balsa and basswood strips. The trees are also scratched ,let's hear it for the wife's...

You chose well Welcome to The Gauge family Cod. We all learn from each other in here. The range of experience within the minds of our members is quite staggering. It matters not to us if you think the subject of your questions are elementary, they warrant an answer and you will get it...

Garden RR rule That's a fabulous garden layout RaiderCTE, The 5th picture down shows the amount of effort that went into it. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Now that's what I call "an empire". I would love to see more pics of it. Beautifully thought out and excellent ordnance surveying to make...

Many happy returns of the day Robin. Did the "Box" of my single malt get delivered in time for your birthday? Last I heard it was on the Rock Island tracks :D :D :D :D If it doesn't turn up by midnight tonight I'll reluctantly ship my last packet of peanuts to you. :eek: Hope you...

Good idea! I go for the SCART connectors myself Mikee, the solder tags on them are big so I don't get my fingers burnt :thumb: . They're a lot easier to connect and disconnect too. Errol

Guess what I got? Happy birthday Ed, I'm inviting you to join me with in Ezra's parlour car for drinkie poos ..... (after we take in that strip show :D :D :D ) Thank you all for those good wishes. I wanted a brass C21 in HOn3 and my wife gave me a ............ wait for it! A...

I to am glad you reposted it Good on you Charlie, I just love the setting you put that old steamer in. Those old ladies have real class and caught on a timber trestle, couldn't be better. It's good to see Autumn folliage in models, it lends atmosphere and you sure caught that. :thumb...

Ferric Chloride might just give you the perfect finish Fred. Paint a streak here and there to get discolouration then a bit more in a few places to let it eat through. but I think you will still need to weather big bits with a diluted grey paint coz it's rare to see totally rusted corrugated...

Good stuff You did a good job of making the gantry operational Fred :thumb: :thumb: Block control is only for drivers who sleep! If they can't see a red then they become DLPB's :D :D Thomas the tank can do whatever he likes ... he has awareness and citizenship! He don't need no...

Looking Good! It's coming along very nicely Nalmeida :thumb: but gosh, it's tiny!!! The pics you say aren't yours sure look like yours to me. You must tell us how you propose to get LPB's to fill in those utility trenches, maybe yours are more work motivated than mine :) . Errol
