We were talking about N scale here not the whole of Life-Like. Based on what Walthers has re-run/re-released from Life-Like, it's been the Proto...
Ultimately, the overall commentary HAS been about Walthers as a retailer. My opinion: if you don't like 'em, just leave them behind, don't...
It's still a non-issue to me since they've never been that useful an N-scale source for me. Still, is this policy no longer in force?:...
Duhhhhh, yupyup, switch lists. This is what happens when I post in the dead of night (west coast time).
Well done! Good of you to note the details of problems encountered. I've always liked timetable/train order systems vs. car...
So we gotta ask: 1) Which railroad [if not your own)? 2) What time period are you modeling (if any?) 3) Is the MOW train going to get any bigger?...
Compare with comments in this thread: http://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?threads/steam-frames-and-mechanisms-isms.90631/ I don't think...

I would be interested in the USRA 40' outside braced boxcar with the small herald from steam/transition days. If 3 numbers were available, I'd...
The Model Master acrylic line is IMO as good as Polly Scale was, except there is no railroad color line. But the selection is still very large,...
Most definitely. And these weren't just for transporting racehorses; the stall frames were removable. Just like the boxcars marked AUTOMOBILE were...
The "weld" is an important step when you build any M/T couplers. A little spit or a speck of lube grease on the spring ends helps hold the spring...
The melting/welding the case sides business is key to avoiding future frustration.
Since Kato deemed the Daylight artic chair car worthy, then maybe they could think about 2-packs of sleepers (at least) or chair cars. RR-specific...
Why not use the basics of FreemoN or NTRAK module standards? Both groups just clamp modules together; you can bolt yours together. FreemoN has...
The spiders may be getting big indoors because they are eating well there, just like many of us. Take a look at their trash; they could be chowing...
Be glad you don't do G scale ... :eek:
