Robin, all I can say is fight, don't let it get down there will be days when you want to quit but afterwards when your all better it of course will have been worth it. We need the King of cardboard to keep us mesmerized with his great models, hope to see you back very soon, Pat.

Guys I got one this AM to update my Paypal account so be on the look out for this one as well!! Pat

Ray, you CAN use your dryer w/ a regular plug as long as you get one that is rated to handle the load. Most "clip on" plugs would not do for this, they are usually only rated at about 500 Watt max. you need for today's dryer's something about 1500 watts +. You easily change a regular recp to a...

Shawn it looks like your an old pro at scenery already, the potential is really great for what you have planned. One big tip for the future water its not going to be "BLUE". Keep your eyes open and look at nature is the best way to represent realism, if you have a camera w./ all the time if you...

On a hot summers day I went for a walk along the tracks and spied a few things worth taking a picture of. I have to say by looking at the quality or lack tere of when it came to these tracks which are used by NJ Transit I,m surprised there are not more incidents of derailments, I think 1 in 5...

As long as none of the kids got hurt there will be other trains, I know thats sacralidge but honest. Pat

Guys a while back we were talking about the Marklin Museum being robbed, I'm glad to say that the police have caught the people responsible. It seems like it got all the way to Austria and Italy already. They said that the trains stolen were valued over a million dollars. This comes from the...

Clark, this is a great body of work which newbies and the more experienced will find very useful. My friend Nelson posted this link the other day about mold making, it is not about RR molds but the pics and explinations were very thorough and easy to understand, might be a nice addition to the...

Mike, thats almost as big as your layout! :D That is one great shot, do you think it was taken by helicopter or from the top of a hill/mountain? Don't we all wish we had that kind of room on our layouts? Pat
