You need serious help boy!!

Thank you folks. Whoops!! Time for my Geritol!!

Thanks for reminding me. Yippee, I'm officially OLD!!

Oh, and I do, on occasion, use the flexshaft.

I use a single speed Dremel model 275 with a Dremel tabletop speed controller. The table top speed controller allows you to really fine tune the speed. I also use the Dremel brand keyless chuck (I had one of the cheaper knock offs and it was way out of balance). I also use a foot switch that is...

Here is the Mountaineer Limited in HO. I have painted it for a customer and friend of mine. It is not quite done yet, but just about. It still needs the pinstripping on the drivers, window glazing, crew, coal in the tender and the wheel tires need to be cleaned.

The best color that I have found for a graphite smoke box is Testor's Model Master metalizer called "exhaust". After it dries you can buff it and it looks nice. Also their "gunmetal" works well for Russian Iron.

Here is New York Susquehann and Western westbound container stack train NTV-9 on Starrucca Viaduct in October 1988.

That's it Val!!! Take some photos and do an article for a magazine. Your work is just too good not to.

Use an acrylic lacquer like Krylon Crystal Clear and do both sides. Spray several very light coats and rub them with fine steel wool in between coats. This will keep the parts from warping.

Here goes: 1). UP deal...huh? what is it, like 50 cents extra for a frieght car....get over it. 2). I'm an N scaler so that means......I don't care. Horizon just wants to preserve the hobby shops and frankly, what's wrong with that?

Thanks Railron, yes, new set of nerves indeed. Hey George, see the cat at the bottom of my posts, if I don't clear the workbench, he will!!:D :D :D

As far as the bogie/truck thingys, you'll have to ask Gary Pheil about that, I'm not really sure. And hey George D, about that empty desk comment.........I forgot what I was saying.:D :D :D

Thanks everyone. But will I ever escape those CLEAN WORKBENCH comments!!:D :D :D

Been working on 2 of these locos for Gary and they are moving along kind of slowly as the decaling is quite tricky. Gary had decals custom made. After 2 of these P-2's I have a T-3 to do.

John Allen had a lot of funny stuff on his railroad. Most were very subtle. Like the box car with 2 guys unloading crates marked IBM Typwriters (remember...the G&D was an 1880's layout). These cars are funny and well done though I wouldn't be buying any.

Great work but your Mom is going to flip when she finds out about that vacuum!!:D :D

Those darned HO guys have such a superior attitude!!! They never...AND I MEAN NEVER...let us N gauge guys run our equipment on their layouts. Gesh, thanks a lot guys. :D :D :D :D
