Off to the mine This cat is off to the local coal mine which is about 25 miles from me. They have all their equipment painted white. Does anybody know if their is a Ho model of this cat or equivilant to it.:wave:

Everytime I hear the whistle blowing, I have to look outside and see what the local RR is hauling. First time I've see anything like this going by.

I had a good laugh when I went to the link. That product has been out for about four or five years now. It was originally built for auto mechanics so they could work on pick-ups and trucks. But hey, if it works for other things too, might as well use it.

I would be interested in the items you have, if you still have them. I'll send a PM with my address, let me know what postage will be. Thank you Terrell

Just never know what will happen. A fellow member of the railroad club cut his hand when he tried to open a jar of paint. It shattered in his hand and he received six stitches. Ouch!

Yeh, I am in the middle of nowhere, but I'm only 20 miles from the LHS. Its a good thing for me and a good thing the wife doesn't know I go their everytime I'm in Bismarck.

Spoiled My little boy who is 3, is getting a six pack of Thomas the train toys, a Lionel desk lamp, its cool, makes noise and wheels spin, and his grandparents bought him a Manuta 0-6-0 ATSF switcher. Talk about being spoiledsign1

Better photos Heres some better photos, learning how to use the digital camera for close up shots.

This box car was a kit and does have metal axles and the pin is separate from the truck. I realized on my first post that the draft box cover says FRP USA not AFR USA, need to go back to 1st grade a learn to read.

I picked this box car up at a toy show. It was already built, only identafication on it is on the draft box. It says AFR USA. Also the trucks on it are put together trucks and are really sloppy. Will not stay on the track. They are just held in with a push in stud. Want to change them out. Is...

Shaygetz, sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I would be interested in one of those pads. One question is their a way to clean them or just throw them away after a few runs. Thanks Again Terrell P.S. will send PM of my address Have a Merry Christmas

Sounds like the motor needs to be lubed. Might as well take it all apartyo clean and lube the drivetrain too. Hope this helps.:wave:

I think I'm going to have problems with keeping the wheels clean on it. Upon closer inspection the wheels have casting flaws in alot of the wheels.:curse: So it will always pickup more dirt. I just cant believe that I can not remove the crud with my finger nails. Its some tough stuff. And why...

I got you all beat When I woke up it was -10 below, with the high for the day at 7 above and also the wind chill was about -30 below. And I worked outside in it.

I have a problem with an old bachmann 2-8-0 steamer. Only the left side wheels get extremely dirty and the right are practically clean. I use rubbing alcohol to clean with, but it doesn't clean the wheels completely. If I scrape on them with a hobby knife the grime comes off. But I dont want to...

I quick stepped off the length of this caboose and its approx. 35ft long. I don't know how long cabooses are, but this one seems long and high. Its as high as the hopper in front of it. Any info would be appreciated.:wave: Dakota train

In a matter of fact, I just seen one yesterday and took some pictures of a caboose I've never seen before. It was huge compared to other caboose's I've seen. Does anybody know if it was produced in HO scale by any companies. Back in early september, my family and I road in a caboose around the...

Discount coupon At my local Hobby Lobby, every other week they have a 40% off coupon on any regular priced item. Discount good on one item. They have a big supply of Woodland scenic items, track, trains, accessories. Can't pass up a deal like that. I try to take advantage of it every chance I...

That one will work for painting, if it has the charcoal filter inside of the mask, which I think it does. Most respirators with replacable prefilters do have inner charcoal filters. Outer pre-filters are to catch the paint particles, while the inner charcoal filters, filter out or absorb the...
