Good evening from Buckeyeland, where sleet is hitting the pavement tonight. This morning, Mrs. Buckeye and I awoke and found a surprise on our blue spruce tree. We had been TPed during the night. Needless to say the kids hit the wrong house. sign1 The little high school girl next door, the...

Son-in-Law Affinity (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Is there another way I should be designating son-in-law? Jon, thanks for the white death warning. We always get it after you.

Chief - What is the name of the shrink you saw this morning? I want to write him a letter so he can help you get rid of that NS complex. :twisted: Train Show this Sunday in Springfield, Ohio at the Clark County Fairgrounds. Chief, I assume you will be there. I'll buy you lunch. aussie I...

If I were going to do my layout again, I would make a bottom loop for a subway and hidden storage tracks behind the subway. In fact due to the way I constructed the bench-work, L-Girder, it might still be possible. :confused:

Good morning from Buckeyeland...Go Oklahoma!! Still looking for a bridge for my layout. Outbid on EBay. Trying to find a Lionel Extension Bridge 6-2122. Frank53 - A suggestion, based on experience. You need to find a place to park trains. I wish I had more room just to store them...

Mornining everybody. It is 39 degrees and cloudy in Buckeyland where we are saying "Go Oklahoma". With Bachman's purchase of Williams, will we see a new type of O Scale track based upon Bachman's HO/N type of track? :?

14-3 :thumb: Another year of prosperity in Buckeyeland.

Kurt, I'll give you a reason. It is much easier to cut foam that is 1" or less. Two inch foam is very hard to cut with the hot wire cutters that are on the market. Been there, done that. I wished I had used one inch foam.

In the book, Scenery Tips and Techniques from Model Railroader Magazine, there is an article titled "Casting Rock Walls - Boheminan Style". Basically they make rock walls like a sheet cake. Has anyone ever built anything like this?

I thought about Scarlet and Grey, but after reading some postings on the other forum, I decided Lionel Orange would be more appropriate. wall1

Thanks, LAZ One orange bridge coming up!

Laz, how warm does it need to be to spray paint with latex based paint?

Chief - Maybe we should go into the MTH Switch fixing business. When they work, they really are great, but when they don't, it is very hard to tell what is wrong. Big weekend on tap in Buckeyeland. Parties and more parties. Free beer! Free food! Loose women! Doesn't get much better than...

Chief, finally found the cause of the problem. In fact it was two things. First the movable points were too long on the frog end. Ground them off. Second, inside the switch the actual piece (white plastic) that thows the points has two slots that stop the throw. I had to lengthen the slots...

Chief, I found, when I took the thing apart that under the movable points there was a connection that was really rough. I filed it smooth. The wire seems to be going all the way down. I am using track power, 18 volts, 360 watts and all of my other swithes just snap in place. I am...
