I'm looking for the above coach cars in the Illinois central roadname. I see a set on ebay right now but the seller for some silly reason broke up the set into single auctions. My question does MDC still exsist? Walthers doesn't seem to list them. I went to Roundhouses web sight and...

Illinois Central.... Not fond of the orange and white but the black and white always hid the dirt of the rails. :)

Just a minor update to this little project. I put in a big order with my favorite online dealer and wouldn't you know it I forgot to order a few things. :( hate that. Paying another $8 to ship it via UPS stinks. One of the things I needed was a Xuron rail cutter. Local hobby shop wanted...

Oh yeah, and a slight operators screw-up on an RC plane can take out months of work and ruin a few thousand-dollar aircraft. Derail a train once in a while and.... so, big deal...:D :D Sorry not to derail the topic but... Eghhh go out to east Mesa, Az to see the annual Model Jet Rally...

My grandpa used to pull out the old Lionel when I would visist. Kept me quietly playing in the laundry room for hours. I think we had an old Marx engine that never ran!

Ahhh Looked and looked and I finally found the link. I've heard some awsome things about there kits. http://www.blackbearcc.com/n_kits.htm Wish my wife would let me use our seldom used formal dining room. :( I'm in the garage....at least until it gets hot again.

here you go. http://www.thortrains.net/yuledx1a.html I'm doing ho scale but I suspect they have other plans.

Ahh it begins. Here's my non-serious layout. I think it wil allow me to practice some landscaping techniques. :) I bought woodland scenics snow and about 50 feet of Atlas flex track and some roadbed. pgandw I like the idea of the 1x3 pine. And the foam base will make it easy to make...

Small 4 x4 around the tree layout question I'm working on a small around the tree layout that is about 4x4. It has a small mountain and a tunnel. I plan to cover the layout with Woodland scenics snow. My question...should I ballast all of the track or just small sections? Should I be...

Any Arizonians going to Railfair this weekend? Any chance you could take some pictures for me? Specifically the GCSMR setup. It will be a large HO layout. I'll be in Illinois visiting family etc. Anyone recommend some cool train shop up near Rockford?

I too have this same plan to put a layout in the garage. (Before I found out I have another baby on the way.) Check out Harken Garage Hoist Systems. Just do a google search. There used to lift camper shells off trucks etc.

I've used the foam brushes sometimes used for staining. Seems to work well and no brush marks.

Any doctors here? How in the world do I get a cold when it's 105 + degrees out. I had such plans this weekend and now I fear I'm laid up in bed. Everyone else have a great weekend.

I have an unknown manufacture frieght car that is missing some parts. I'm having the most trouble finding a replacement for is a pin that holds the truck to the frame. I could use a screw with some modification but I'd like to keep it somewhat uniform and avoid scratchbuilding something...

Yea the bailey yard via Satellite is amazing.
