I am in need of some help, designing alot. i have been a member here for almost 3 years. And after a few of my first post, i was told by some members here it took them a long time to come up with a design they liked. I never taught it would have taken so long. But, for me, it has. I had...

They are the same size. I had done a few test. i took some of the trucks that weren't connectted to my boxcar yet. I put a new set of lp wheels on. And they rolled smooth and free on the rails. Forgot to mention in above post, i had painted my wheels :oops:. Must have gotton paint on were i...

Need some help please. I will be using Atlas n scale code 55 track. I had purchase the MT00310041 (MT1035-10) Barber Roller Bearing Trucks w/short extension (10 pack) , but not from Fifer hobby. To replace my Atlas trucks on some of my Atlas rolling stock. I also purchased a package of the...

Real nice progress there Jim. I wish i could be that productive on my layout. Is the water done yet? When doing the water, will it be done in sections, or do you need to mix enough solution for the whole thing? CAS

Mike, really nice job on the structure. will look real nice on your layout. Do you know where you 're gonna put it yet? I do beleive i have room for it on mine. :mrgreen: CAS

Heading up to Fargo, ND to watch my nephews team play against Illinois State in football. The game is Saturday night (11-0307). He's not playing yet, he is redshirting his freshmen year. I was wondering if there is a good n scale hobby shop in the area, i can go and kill some time, and spend...

doctorwayne, i am very glad you took the time to repost these photo's. I was starting to miss all your work after the change from the Gauge. Your all around work is just so inspiring to me. I have copied and saved some of, or most of your photo's of scenery :mrgreen: . I hope you don't...

WOW, very nicely done. I really like your weathering you have done. The extra fine details is a great touch. But, the concrete base is to new looking. I think you need to dirty it up a little to match the building. Great job over all. CAS

I strongly agree with everyone here. I am still very new to MRRing. I like to read and reread all my books i have. There were several times i skipped sections thinking i won't be doing that on my layout. But guess what, the came when i was doing it on my layout. So back to reading that...

I changed my couplers to MT's almost right away. Atlas couplers and MT couplers don't operate very well together, IMO. So all my loco's and rolling stock get MT's couplers before the go onto the layout. I'll have to check my wheel distance with the MT guage one of thesse days, then. But i...

it just slid in. i had bought mine from TCS, from n scale supplies. N Scale Supply - TCS CAS

Yep, thats what it looks like,:lol: . I'm glad i was able to help you out. When the time comes for you to install the decoder. It's not very hard to either. For a person of my background (which is not a handyman), it was easy for me to do. CAS

Hey Biased turkey, I removed the shell by, remove the wheels, they will just pop out. I did both sets of them. remove the plastic fuel tank, that also pops off. after you remove the 3 parts from above, you will see the aluminum casting (mainframe) that is in 2 halves. disconnect the rails...

my green came out way to dark :( , also. Maybe next batch will be more water, less dye. Now my brown, well i used a tan color, it looks ok. It's still drying outside. CAS

Nice photo's. I didn't know they used mu's for switching. I guess i learn something new everyday. CAS

Nice video, brakie. Your layout looks life-like, and the weathering is great :-D . LoL

I just want to know if anyone else used or try useing sawdust for there grass, or ground cover? I had just bought a box of Rit dye(fabric dye), tan and green. Added some water to my dye powder, mixed it for a while. Added some of my sawdust. Now i'm just waiting for the sawdust to dry, been...

Real nice tower. ALso like the weathering you did. CAS

I know what your talking about. Just seen a photo recently in a past post, but i can't find it now. I will keep looking for the post. I will be buying one soon too. I am gonna try a office supply store (perfing wheel), or a fabric store. Im gonna also check out Wal-mart today, in the sewing...

Thought the same. Had to take another look. It looks cool, though. What size ballast are you useing? It does look a little to big. CAS
