    Real Water Features for the model?

    Looking for a 6" (inch screen)? Look for used color PDA. Probably a Compaq 3600. It is 2.5" by 4" and it is color. Probably can find one on ebay under Computer/PDA. Just a thought. I upgraded to a axim PDA for work and I put my old unit away somewhere.:confused:

    Real Water Features for the model?

    I like the idea of an animated waterfall. With the price of plasma TV coming down fast maybe a 42" Plasma could be use with video of a waterfall running through a loop cycle. sign1

    question

    Yep. I have an n scale LL SW1200. Need to make sure that the copper leads on the body unit and trucks are in constant contact with each other. May need to pry the body leads up a little with a small screwdriver. Also, make sure all copper leads are clean. Good Luck

    Real Water Features for the model?

    May not be a good mix but....I have seen one and it was on an N Scale T-Trak module. Was a waterfall and a pond. The pond served as reservoir for the waterfall. Used a Plastic bowl with a tiny water pump that flowed over a waterfall from an Aquarium shop. It really looked great. The guys next...

    Afternoon Spankbird from SW Ohio. Home of the Flying Pigs!. I just noticed your location and started to think of the old Twilight Zone. How ironic that you are in Modeling Railroad, too. Remember that conductor walking through coach car telling everyone, " Willoughby, Next Stop Willoughby"...
