Josh, lookin' good, as usual! A couple of questions, if I may: I know I'm old and confused, but is airsoft the same as paintball???? and: I don't suppose you would be willing to come out to Virginia, and help me build my layout would you??sign1

shear nonsense Maybe, if the pc board isn't too thick, a heavy duty paper cutter might work...then again maybe not. It would have to be able to cut at least the thickness of the material you are cutting. And be sure to keep your fingers out of the way!!!:eek::eek:

Model Railroader Mags On my original post,I failed to mention that among the goodies my wife bought, was a large box of old Model Railroader Magazines. They probably aren't in any sort of order, or sequence, but I have found several dating back to 1958! What's cool is that in looking at the...

Deckroid, WOW!! Congrats!! WTG!! Now, if you ever decide to sell some of that stuff....:mrgreen::mrgreen:

If you are going to be soldering on PC board, don't forget to use heatsinks. Wooden pincer type clothes pins, with the spring, work best.

I have always admired your work! You are definetly detail oriented! Keep up the excellent work! :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

I worked with a young man in SoCal who left the parts store, and went to work for PG & E. (Pacific Gas and Electric.) While working as a "meter man," he designed a new type wrench that would enable repairmen to more easily turn off gas valves that were located in underground boxes, (similar to...

Well, now, I saw a very old photograph of one in a book, that refered to it as an "Alligator." And since the alligator is now refered to as an American Crocodile... or is it the other way around??? Anyway, I apologize for the error. My bad.

I have subscribed to Open Office.org, and really enjoy using it. If I found a code that I thought I could modify to make money, I'd certainly make sure I had everyone's permission before I'd try to do it. I've had friends that wrote computer code while they were working for someone ealse. Then...

they're gr-r-r-reat! Jeffrey, Thanks so much for the pictures!! You not only are a great modeler, you're an excellent photographer!! How large is your layout? It looks huge! I particularly enjoyed the night photos. And the backgrounds on the wall, and...well, I just enjoyed everything about...

Train Show Redux I don't know if they are weathered, or just dusty. I think they may have been weathered, but I don't know if they were run, or just displayed. Any way, here's some more pics! I hope y'all enjoy them! More pics later. The crane car has a broken string, so the boom won't...

Train Show Photos (I hope) So...y'all want photos, huh? Well, I hope I can do this correctly. Here are some photos of the rolling stock thas was in the "box of 15 cars for $10.00." There are only 3 boxcars, but they all have different illustrations on one side of them. Hope...

'gators One of the items my wife saw for sale at the show, was an alligator electric loco. They must be rare, because the seller was asking $1500 for it. It looked in mint condition, tho. When I see items like that, I don't look at them for too long. Otherwise my poor feeble brain says, "Oooh...

m-m-m- tasty brakie, so you have great taste in boxcars...how do you like them, bar b qued or oven roasted?? :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

cool epaw: I once worked as a DJ. We had two commercial large reel to reels, that had pre-recorded messages, etc. on them. I discovered that if I recorded a record, and played it back simultaneously, I could get a really cool echo.

laying it all down Well, I know I'm a cheapskate, but I plan to use old doors for my top surfaces. If you have a "Habitat for Humanity" Store nearby, you can always pick up some used hollowcore doors for a couple of bucks, each. I have a bunch of old bi-fold closet doors that I plan to use...

WOW!! What an exciting day! My beautiful wife and I went to the train show in Lynchburg, Va last Saturday. That was our first train show. We frove over on Friday evening, and got back Saturday. The announcer said that at noon, there were already more visitors than what they had for the whole...

How high? redux Thanks, 90MAC II. I appreciate your comment. BTW, welcome to the forum! :wave:

basket case I'm a basket case, and I don't look that good! Great looking loco!!! Congrats!

33 1/3 cd roms?? Uh, if I recollect properly, they were refered to as "records." They were vinyl, and you played 'em on a record player. I still got quite a few of them. I also got 8 trks, reel to...uh,never mind.
