If you look at Mockingbird Yard in Dallas (just south of I-30 and west of Mockingbird Lane, you will find the east lead to be about 2/3 the length...
It's great following the progress of this layout. You're doing great work and can't wait to see you get back to building now that the layout is...
Videos from the chase show an engineer in the lead E-9. I'm not sure they're setup for DPU slave anyway. That's what failed in the other...
Don't turn the gates, please. The gates are only angled if it's an angled crossing, not because of a bend just before. If you have that, you...
Dropped by to see if you made it through alright. I know the railroad got hit hard in places, but seeing that some of the places near you got hit...
Last time I ordered anything from Japan it was from Hasegawa, UPS then promptly went on strike, and I never got any of the kits because Hasegawa...

Just a quick note on this point - expired security certificates mean absolutely nothing as to whether a site is reputable or not. I deal a lot...
Only white anyone's talked about is the white face around the windows not extending all the way down on 2 of his 3 locomotives.
I would echo Sandro. I used to paint the real detailed parts of my 1/72 airplane models using just a toothpick, one end with paint, the other end...
While I don't have either, I think this is a perfect place to point out why the Kitbashing/aftermarket parts industry/sub-hobby is so much a part...
Hey Jerry, just insluate the work space, don't worry about anything more than a space heater while you're out there and a portable A/C that can...
