CharlieH, Check out this link; Truck Stop Models Go to the catalog and select 'Autos & Buses' then look for the manufacturer 'Greg's Garage' they have the autos you're looking for. In fact this site has the best selection of HO Autos, Trucks and Buses available. They also have some great...

Ralph, It's not that rash, EMD drawbarred the FT locomotives in AB sets. It didn't last that way because when one unit started having problems or was due for maintenence that ment taking them both out of service, didn't go over too well! From a modellers perspective 'who cares'? You may have...

Fred, Did you see your car? Fred Miller beer, didn't know you were that famous. :thumb: :thumb: The Frothingslosh car with the suds is pretty cool wish they did a truck with that logo! 2slim

Cory, Just curious, how big is your 'train shack'? 2slim

I'm currently on the 'Lionel' diet sponsored by Trainworld, (HO UP Challenger and Turbine half price sale), been on that one now for at least 10 days thought I saw a rib in the mirror this morning!! :D :D That's one nice steamer, hope you find some nice cars for it to pull. 2slim :thumb:

They would be silly if they didn't at least extend the offer. Just glad he didn't sell out to a distributor like Athearn did. 2slim

Val, When your girlfriends ask if you've been losing weight you can tell them you're on the 'Broadway' diet, that'll drive em' nuts!!! :thumb: :thumb: 2slim

New TV show?? Not to add fuel to this fire or anything..... :p Wouldn't this make a great show like "Trading Spaces", perhaps "Trading Layouts' where 2 modelers swap layouts for 2 days, each has $1000 budget to renovate or build a layout for the other....cool huh? :rolleyes: :rolleyes...

Mike, Did you get a look at the construction of those Mod-u-rail modules? What are they made of? The WS website isn't too informative, you were right on the prices. Looks like they were marketing these for both N & HO, they seem sort of small for HO. 2slim

Hey guys! NSCALEMIKE posted some pictures of these that were on display in Las Vegas. Has anyone seen whats on their website, check it out; Website What do you think? I'd like to know what they are constructed from, one would think foam but??? If they are they will be super lightweight. The...

Trainnut There is a Yahoo group specifically for N Scale D&RGW fans, (that dabble in Nn3 as well). 2slim

Hi guys, Just got the November Model Railroader and saw this guy in the Bachmann ad: D&RGW FTA I'm going out on a limb and ordering a AB set of these because they have DCC decoders installed and they are in the Orange and Silver paint. But the real reason is I have no time to paint a set...

Hi Andy, The information about soldering is a good tip, but I learned the hard way that soldering the rail joints leaves no room for track expansion. By that I mean that the nickel silver rails in the track we use will expand and contract with temperature changes and if you don't allow for that...

Tyson, Great job man! I've been trying to come up with an idea to use a Christmas village that always gets put on our entertainment center every year :confused: I think I may have found a solution :thumb: The village is near N Scale so I will put it in the middle raised up to give the...

Val, You're doing a great job, when can I move in?? :D It took me a couple of times reading through the thread to figure out that the house on the right has an enclosed porch, I originally thought it was an addition. Did you leave the door and window casting on the main wall? Homes like this...

go-kart Shaygetz modeled this go-kart which might pass as a N-Scale dirt track car. 2slim

I always admired the fact that Dana was a modeller first and a manufacturer second. I don't know how true this is but I heard once that he was very close to producing his own line of ready to run locomotives. I heard that the only thing he had left to work out was getting Athearn to supply a...

Hi Jess, Looks like what ya got there is a good old Mantua Pacific! Did a little search on Ebay and there are a few listed there, at least 2 are in the same condition as yours and are going for $20 - $25 right now. As far as the smoke and horn go, if you can verify that yours has those it could...

Wow! I spaced that off RC, I can remember when Athearn announced the GP60, the owner of Rail Power Products is a local modeller and was going to use the Athearn shell as the basis for the 60M's. After he realized the boo boo Athearn made he just did both the shells correctly from ground zero...

Steve, Catt may be thinking of 'Rail Detail', they were making hand rail kits for 'Rail Power Products' which made shells that fit Athearn locomotives. I believe that both companies were aquired by Athearn. Another company 'Smokey Valley Model railroad products' made better quality hand rail...
