Rob, The Stargate and the trains are located at the Southern end of my "N" scale layout, which is on the West Coast of Florida.:)

Spitfire, the track crew did shut the gate when they returned to earth as the photo taken at 3:00 AM attests to, someone else must have figured out the address and opened the gate creating a worm hole for that alien. It looks as if he is to large to fit thru the opening which is a perfect 20'...

Suspense is over, the track crew just returned to earth, comming thru the Stargate now. Seems they decided to see which planet that wormhole was connected to, and they were lucky, it was planet Number PL119RR, "The Off World Home of Old Steam Locomotives", they managed to take one photo of an...

Now the crew is trying to decide if they should keep on working track or see where the Stargate goes to?

Engine and tender= 8.5", I run mine on 11.5" rad. without a problem.

Scott, That's a nice looking snow scene photo. My question is, since baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, about 7%salt and the powder is very fine, what was the result of running your trains in the powder, seems it would cause problems with motors, trucks, wheels, gears and the track eventually.

As a follow up to my first post I use a USB card reader, what I like about it is that I can view all the photos on a card and transfer only the ones that I like to my hard drive, this way my drive is not loaded up with photos that I will never use. I have 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 MB cards and I...
