Gil, a blade from a small Bandsaw clipped to size might be easier than trying to heat and form a hacksaw blade.Ussually easy to get if you know any woodworking type guys. Wood woring guys never seem to throw away anything even if it would never be usable again it gets hung on a peg :) The...

Working on a Tree trying a new technique.its an 18-20" tall White Pine that will be a front of the layout type tree. When trying new techniques things always seem to take longer and ive got 6 hours in this so far.If things work out, doing several at a time would be more effective time wise...

Wow Dave, being in Maine I would think you would just be dying to model those wonderful lil 2' gauge RR's you had up there :) I voted steam by the way as my On30 will run 2-8-0 rod and a climax or shay and possibly a lil porter Tank at the docks. Just so ya'll could call me a liar though, i...

Damien, does that mean you are ready for me to ship you another boatload of N scale stuff?? :D Ive only got a couple hundred cars left, 1/2 dozen Engines, some track and some detail parts remain. I'll start listing on ebay again in a couple weeks so email me your needs before then and we'll...

I hope your homeowners insurance will at least cover some of the dollar value lost. Research the value of what you had and turn in a list of loss including pictures and valuations (ebay completed auctions are just 1 example for a quick summation of average selling price) It wont replace them...

Ive got some extra trains and about a ton of unsolicited books ,music cd's, discontinued video tapes, new magazines, software programs, tools from china, hair products from sri lanka, collector coins, stamps,toothpicks etc that needs repackaging and mailing back..............want the job...

Ken, Wow you really have done an awful lot of work in a very short time. It wasnt that long ago i recall a bare corner and a mock up where that mill is sitting :) (was that june or july? ) The work is first class and the pictures are great !! (one day you'll have to teach me how to set the...

Tomato plants have some good roots when dried up. pull them in the spring or very late fall. Convincing stumps for the larger gauges. Nice for trees with roots crawling over rock ledges etc ;)

OK, i actually sat down and watched the whole thing. Its not bad,its not fabulous, I enjoyed seeing George selios's layout once again and Tom lund did some nice backdrop work. It is just what model railroader is best at, a good beginners DVD and beginners will get a good jump start more than...

Great trees, there are times for those large beasties and times for the other. Huge differance between the amount of time and detail work spent for a front of the layout piece (or compliment to a particular building scene) and the Tree line in the back. A trick for that back tree line of...

They really blew it. Lots of Model railroader single guys out there and they should have done a playboy type interview and made sure they were all single. Not for me mind you, but Ive heard a few complaints in here about trying to find a good woman :D Whats next......Railmatchmaker.com or...

Tyson, I'm not touching this one again LOL (i did give a rather lengthy oratory over at Trains (kalmbachs site) I am glad that some folks have enjoyed it.I still have yet to actually watch it. I'm sure it cant possibly be as good as Lou Sassi's recent article in the magazine. Ive heard some...

Wow does that hit home.............Cub scouts, 1966, Pinewood derby regionals( i had won the local) test runs and preraces were being done and i was burying all comers. One kid got mad that he lost and the next time coming down the track he gave my car an elbow shot sending it flying off the...
