Sorry, Inky, I don't know the exact dimensions. I'll guess 20 x 40 feet, maybe a little less. [/b]</font> Get a bigger room or change your name...
The camera angle could be playing tricks on these old eyes, but that appears to be a short, steep grade. Grades add resistance to the trailing...

I've actually had more trouble with adults than children. One man got so nasty, profane, and confrontational after being told for the 3rd or 4th...
Well, it is not that simple. The room is just too narrow. The layout is in the center with an aisle around all 4 sides, and the entry and exit...
I've only been doing NTrak for 7 years, so I can only comment on the evolution of the public concept of respect during that time. We don't do as...
We use a blue denim "curtain" to hide the layout legs and whatever "clutter" is under the layout - tool boxes, whatever. Our skirt is also...
Good suggestions. We do have ropes up, but the aisles are so narrow the ropes are of no value. The public and the operators share the same...
So, is the GP9 Atlas announced yellow or orange on black? It looks yellow on the Atlas site: Arlas D&RGW GP9 [ September 20, 2005, 05:37 PM:...
The Old West is changing, and people seem to have no manners nor respect for other people or their property anymore. After many years of...
My care package from Feather River last week contained a D&RGW SD7 by Atlas. I had 4 of the LifeLike version, but only 2 unique cab numbers, so I...
Another way of doing it is to count the moves rather than racing the clock. It takes some of the pressure off and the operation is "a little"...
Well, it is progress, but certainly no innovation on Athearn's part: My MDC versions of the Athearn car all came with window glazing installed....
I promised y'all an update, and it is high time I put up! The CofG SD35 was out of stock, but that e-seller has found some more, and I got me one...
Well, it is your money and your railroad........ The washer method you mentioned worked on one of my cars - the SOO flat car, which had a larger,...
Why? Standardization - Everything else has truck-mounted couplers, which enables me to couple cars on the somewhat sharp (12.5" radius) curves...
Rats - the Athearn site says it has screw-mounted trucks and "magnetic" couplers. Probably comes in a paper box now, too. Time to dig through...
It appears to be the old MDC car, which I've been running for a year or two. The MDC cars are still listed on e-seller's sites with street...
TAD - You nailed it! [img] Looking good, and the results are worth it even if it did take all day & night to apply all those stripes! :D...
Before MDC started sending their shake-the-box kits offshore for assembly, the same box and nest that securely held the parts also provided the...
