Thanks allot Dan, something else for me to want! The look great, I'll bet you just can't stop lookin' at them.

SmolderZ, I thought static ship models in 1/700 and 1/1200 scale were crazy (and I build them occasionally). Z scale operating trains must be completely over the top. It's so cool that you are modeling Z and doing it seriously. I do BIG SCALE (well compared to your stuff) I do N scale!

Arlaghan is absolutely correct, this is the best way to do it. Also, a trip to the hobby shop is in order. Get youself some Tamiya masking tape. It comes in a little plastic case (that keeps the edges from getting fuzy). It may seem a little pricey, but it is worth every penny. It is low tack so...

Steam power will never return to the rails because GE and GM don't make steam locos. Period. Near the end of the steam era, some company (the name escapes me) developed a steam turbine / electric locomotive. It burned powdered coal which is highly efficient and burns completely leaving almost no...

Great work, are you using poly urathane resin?

Here is a link to the Con-cor website. They sell trucks and couplers there, the shipping may be a bit steep so you may want to order a few things. When you first get on, hit the "roundhouse" link and then the "N scale parts" link. Tha passenger car trucks are near the bottom of the page. They...

Here is the link to the auction. Erie USRA 0-8-0 auction

Nice work, and welcome to the gauge. I see you have joined us despite your experience on the chat last night :D :D :D You asked for suggestions, here is one, keep doing what you are doing! Your bridges are absolutely great and your execution of the entire railroad is well organized and focused...

Just finished up my Alco Models brass Erie USRA 0-8-0. She has a new motor and runs very well now. I'll be listing it on Ebay tonight and will post the URL here later. Here are some photos. And some more: Erie 0-8-0 #6 Erie 0-8-0 #7 Erie 0-8-0 #8 Erie 0-8-0 #9 Erie...

Oh, and by the way, for the pixelating, try waving a pixie stick over the camera!!:D :D :D Actually, check the resolution setting.

Are you kidding Gary, it came out great! Must be the airbrush!! You get a hold of a Badger 360 Universal and whooooosh, excellent results!!:D :D :D

I have had success using solvaset and then a pencil eraser. Use the pencil eraser very lightly. Also (and this could be risky) dab a small amout of Scale Coat Wash Away (a great stripper to use on plastic). Let it set for a few seconds then wipe it off. However, use these methods at your own...

2053?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think so Val! (Blake* looks at his watch) I was thinking more like tomorrow morning!!!:D :D :D :D

Nice work, looks great!

North West Short Line used to exclusively carry Sigami motors. They started having many quality problems with them, so many that the returns were ridiculous. NWSL no longer carries the Sagimi motors but rather, makes their own. Perhaps the Sagami motors aren't what they used to be.

As you know Val, I'm rebuilding my small N scale railroad so I am going through the same thing. There is something about new slabs of plywood that stirs something inside every model rairoader. It's a very exciting time and a frustrating time all at once. I LOVE it. Looks like it's coming along...

Get an A-line motor for the Athearn locos, I think it's a kit with everything you need. A-Line / Proto Power West Website

Was this clear stuff Aero-car conducta lube / track cleaner? If so, how well does it work?

It's funny, I hear allot of bad things about purchases on Ebay but I have done quite well. In fact, I just got an EL N scale trainmaster with MTL couplers installed for a total of $28.
