Hi !!! Feel goofy tonight ? Me too ... :) As I mentioned when I join The-Gauge, the main reason I left rec.models.railroad is that I was tired of all the insults, flame wars, namecalling ... I still check some posts from time to time, just to find that it hasn't stopped. If you look...

Sorry, forgot to attach the file :)

And here's an N scale plate girder made by Atlas, kitbashed to become a "diesel service" bridge :)

Hi !! Probably an easy one ... but I'm not into electronics, so I must ask before I do something stupid ... I'm preparing to do some control panel wiring. I have some bi-colored leds that are gonna show to switches positions (feedback comes from a micro-switch mechanically connected to the...

I love this idea !!! If other folks agree, it would be cool to register a chat room (is that how Yahoo chat works?) and send us the URL ...

I stumble across this post yesterday on Google ... and I laught for more than an hour reading it's many replies ... It's called "Your favorite Hobby Injury story" ... I seriously recommend getting your diaper before starting to read it ... Here it is...

Hum ... now THAT'S interesting ... Could you tell us a little bit more about thoses PIC ? I know about them, what they are and what they do (programmable chips) but what do I need to build this kind of circuit using a PIC ? What I like is the idea of "programming" the chip ... I am myself...

Thanks David !!! This is too cool !!! Thanks a lot David, I can't wait to get home to try this ! The shame is, I wont be home until saturday night ... I'm not sure if i'll be able to resist all this time ... Have a nice weekend everyone !!! Alexandre

And for the breadboard, yes I have that too :D You see, I love electronics, but I just can't find the right book to learn all this stuff. I can figure out the basic things, current flow, resistors, diodes, basic chips (timers, AND, OR...) but connecting all these togeter is a complete...

This is great !! Thanks for your quick response ! I look foward seeing a plan ! For the components, I already have many 555, the decade counters, diodes and resistors. I have all this stuff because I've built the traffic light controler designed by rob paisley. All I need is the capacitors...

Humm ... let me think ... First, the flickering should be random, or at least "look" random ... the duration of the fliskering (and pause) should also be random. A good cycle would be: Random flickering for (1 to 10) seconds Pause for (5 to 15) seconds Some welder simulator out there...

Hi ! On my N-scale layout there's a locomotive repair shop. I'd love to have a blue led blink randomly to simluate arc welding .. but I can't find on the Internet any circuits I could build (must have complete circuit, I can follow a plan but can't understand them). I've seen some for...

LOL !!! You're lucky ... thoses little plastic guys heal pretty fast ... just a little dab of plastic cement and they're ready for another crash ! As long as they don't melt ... they're pretty much eternal :D

Hi ! Very soon, grass (woodland scenics turf) will grow on my N scake layout ... but before it starts to grow I'd like tu "unflatten" the terrain ... wich is way to horizontal :) I read about using ground goop in some Kalmbach books ... I looked at the receipe and wondered if I could still...

Hi !!! Well the video camera was around ... I tought I could have fun mixing the layout (the AxD R&R), the video camera, some sound from the internet and adobe première ... Here's the result: http://www.mrrkb.com/videos/axdrr/axdrr1.zip (AVI file zipped to 3.87 Megs) Yes, the...

No it's really easy to do theses ... The road itself is simply foamcore. I stops about 1/4" from the outside of the rail. The remaining gap is filled with sparkling, sanded smooth (when dried!) and painted (then paint is removed from rail heads). The paved part *inside* the rail is the...

That's a great looking waterfal Dan !!! Could you tell us a little bit about how you did it ?

Re: Fast work Thanks :) :) :) Here are some more shots of the finished look: And here's some grade corssings I made : And finally a double-track team track that has been asphalted for easier loading:

We have a Winner !!!!

Three words: IT'S PERFECT !!! THANKS !!! Gee why didn't I think of that ? I like the final result, I just gotta fill that little void that formed under the road but sparkling compund will do the job just fine ! Thanks a lot 60103 !!! P.S. Are you friend with 90210 ? :)
