I might suggest that when you "go in the hole" take your chop saw with you. George W. has had his eye on it for some time....he thinks its a weapon of mass destruction!!!:D :D :D :D

I haven't been taking my meds:eek: Have been seeing lots of steam locos lately:thumb: :D :D

Methinks:D That perhaps that we should believe something from a Micheal Moore TV show then circumstances dictate that we should just go ahead and "nuke" Sweden:D :D :D :D :D ....with cows from Canada:D :D :D :D

Whoooooa!!!! Hey Guys, European current is + - 220 Volts @ 50 cycles. US current is + - 120 Volts @ 60 cycles. While the low voltage and frequency difference may not harm the transformer itself there will be some heat build up in the transformer and the small AC motor in the loco may not be...

Great Val:thumb: Ain't it funny:D what starts out as a mess turns into a realistic model:)

Velmo, Making another connection at the other end is not going to solve the problem at least not on a simple 4X8 oval. It sounds like to me you have one or more of these problems: 1. Dirty Track 2. Dirty pick up wheels on your loco 3. Loose rail joiners 4. A loose connection in loco's...

You Can't Do This Now I Bet QUOTE "Also, it seems to be there was some sort of lever you could use to move a car by hand, you fitted it under a wheel and lifted to move the car." That's called a carjack or a jackpole. You can start a car rolling on level track with one arm. Back in my...

Try this....go to www.google.com and click on "images" then type in atsf in the seach block and hit enter. You'll get 7500 + sites for pictures and information.

I just want to point out that a hollow core door isn't really hollow. Inside of it is a cardboard "honeycomb" that gives it its rigidity. If removed the only support left is the sides and ends which is usually held together by some staples and it will flex and skew. The sides and ends are...

Caught In The Blender My friend Mike had found several lumps of coal. One Saturday afternoon he and I were working on his layout and we began to ponder as to how this coal could be ground up to HO size. "I know", Mike said....."Ruth Ann (his wife) bought a blender last week, she's gone...

HI Errol, Here's a little tip on the fiber optic stuff....If you take a single strand of it and hold the end of it very near a heat source such as the tip of a hot soldering iron it will "Mushroom" out into sort of a lens shape. I would think that if you were very careful and held the end of the...

Well,by no means would I ever try to impose any of my standards on anyone.:) But I will stand by my statement that such foolishness as some of those cars have no place in model railroading whatsoever. Its not a matter of standards or moral values. Neither is it a matter of personal taste...

Just Another Wasteland...IMHO QUOTE....."I must say you guys might be taking the scale thing a bit to seriously." Nope!....I don't think so....considering that my entire layout is based upon mythical towns, places, characters and industries and I, as the Chief Robber Barron, own and control...

I'll second that. My feelings exactly. BTW.... Some of the auctions have closed since I posted the orginal. If you want to see the "full line" check the sellers closed auctions.

Ok Folks, This is sure to stir up something:D Check out this guy's listings for HO cars on eBay. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=rickhead&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 Is this an attempt at humor?:eek: :confused:....Has model railroading gone down...

Boooo Hoooooo QUOTE ", it was with some regret that I decided not to have the ship. I had visions of how spectacular it would look sitting in front of the the huge Canada Malting elevator - the first thing you would see as you entered the layout room." :( :( :( :( :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry...

Just A Word Of Caution In this day and time, considering all that is going on being on or near railroad property with a scanner and a camera might be a bad idea (especially around a major city). Try to get written permisson from a yardmaster or division supervisor. I know some of you...

Flanger

Phillip, Glad you found the mounts you needed. For future refference you can silicone the motor into the frame. If you do it be sure that the metal contact strip on the bottom of the motor touches the frame so you have electrical continuity. The better solution is to solder a piece of flex wire...

Horizon is a big outfit. Looks like they just made themselves the exclusive distributor of Athearn by purchasing the company. They have done this with several other hobby products, mainly in the radio control field.
