The only time that a scanner is illegal in Canada is if you use it for personal gain, ie: ambulance chaser or tow truck trying to get business ahead of everyone else, with intercepting cell calls that falls under the privacy act. Radio shack in Canada does not sell scanners any more, as Siderod...

I have a lot of code 100 peco switches, buy them at swap meets and clean/fix them up, can not justify the cost of replacing them with code 83. As I handlay most of my rail, I got a fab deal at a swap meet on code 83 rail so this is what i use. I attach the code 83 rail to a short length (aprox...

Jon, It saddens me to hear of this, I went through these tough times about five years ago and again just recently. You and your family are in out thoughts and prayers..Ron and family..

About 1pm today an east bound Canadian National train consisting of two locomotoves and 101 cars was proceeding east bound just east of here. As the train came out of a curve and onto a strait portion of track it was confronted with a large boulder that was on the track. This boulder was the...

John is an excellent modeler and always had a fasination with the Kettle Valley RR, I am glad to see his layout is comming along well and still enjoying this hobby, ..Ron..

I agree with Val worth seeing, awsome movie, spectacular animation on both the train and the characters, it keeps your interest throught the whole movie. I also will be purchasing it when it comes out on dvd.. Wife is a teacher and there is a a movie theatre not too far away, wife and a couple...

Sorry have not yet seen it where they just change the trucks, seen many photos and models where they have narrow guage tracks on one side of a loading platform and standard guage tracks on the other side and they transfer the load accross. Ron

Tom, glad to hear that your son's team won the football game, must have been exciting watching. By the way Fred , I get more impaired drivers that are going slower than the speed limit than speeding. It seems as they know that they have had too much to consume so the are over causious and go...

Congrats on your son's team win Tom, your son must ,deservingly so, be very happy. Oh by the way Fred I get more impaired drivers that are going slower than the speed limit rather than speeding. They know they have had too much to drink and are way over causious. Managed to get to the layout...

Hook, my advise, for what it is worth, is that since you are at that very indecisive stage I would go and do two things. One of them is get a copy of aWalthers catologue and the second purchases I recomend is got to a local craft store or hardeware store and purchase a roll of paper. You can...

As we know CN bought out BC Rail a short time ago, I was wondering when we are going to start to see BC Rail equipment on CN lines, well was working last night and at 3:00am a CN coal train came through with a CN loco on the lead and BC Rail 4613 right behind it.. Will have to keep an eye out...

One other method to try...Dave just gave me and idea..I imagine you can get "snap track" here it comes in 18 & 22 inch radius in code 100 and 18 inch in code 83.. where your tracks join on the curve, and you require the insulator..how about taking a piece of snap track, cutting a piece that is...

Ron, It appears as though you have already identifyed the problem, I agree that the plastic rail joiners do not have sufficient strength to hold the radius of the track.. I had that occur several years ago. Gluing,& ballasting and using the hardest joiners I could locate and even gluing them did...

I have four of the modules that are going to make up part of the layout I have in the basement. I used 1/2 inch plywood then glued the 2 1/2 foam on top so I can cut out some land forms that go below the track level. On top of the foam I put a produce similar to homosote, called natrual dona...

Steve, if you need a copy I am pretty sure I have that issue, I will have to go out to the barn and check. Let me know if you want the article copied or require the whole book. I can mail it on Monday..Ron..

Looking good trains1972.. with the weather being bad got some indoor chores done. Between going to the woodworking show and being involved with the local train show, which went over very well, I managed to get some work on the layout. Got the back two modules built and up with some paper on the...
