Too Much Deatail Work To Go He Gus, personally I wouldn't post these pictures with so much fine detail work left to do, but that's a matter of personal pride.:mrgreen::mrgreen:sign1. Seriously Steamhead, your work is so "GREAT", it gives us all something to shoot for, and I have taken the...

What Again? YOUR WORK NEVER CEASES TO AMMAZE ME DOC!! Duane :thumb:

Thank's to all I WANT TO THANK ALL WHO HAVE OFFERED THEIR AND TALLENT, AND TAKEN THEIR TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTION ON THE TURNOUTS, THIS IS TRULY A GREAT HOBBY FORUM, AND FOLKS LIKE YOURSELF HAVE MADE IT SO. MAY GOD BLESS ALL. Duane Hampton :thumb:

Thank You for your input Bob, but a question comes to mind when you speak of Atlas Code 83 trunouts, are you refering to the Code 83 snap switchs, or the Atlas Custom Line turnouts? Please advise, I have never owned any of the custom line, just the cheaper snap switchs, and it is the snap...

Howdy All, since I have never owned a Shinohara or a Pico turnout, and am planning on replacing most of my Atlas Snap Switchs, I have just ordered a Pico code 83 Nr: 8 L/H turnout, I have been told that the Pico are very good, has anyone out there used the Shinohara, they look great in my...

Me TOOOOOO Hey I refurbish and sell laptop's on eBay, the worst experience I had was I sold a nice high end Dell for $467.00 plus $20.00 shipping, and $2.60 shipping insurance which is optional to a man of Russian decent, the Laptop was in like new condition, the guy opted out of the shipping...

All Three Howdy, thedowneaster, I too have all three you mentioned, but personally I favor the BlueLine Sound, Power, and just overall performance, in fact my blueline BigBoy will pull 28 Loaded Oar Cars up my 2% helix grade both as slow as it will run, or as fast, without any problems, and...

By the By Buy the way Trainnut, I noticed that one of the top portions appear to be missing, if so, are you familiar with casting resin, if not let me know and I will be happy to fill you in on how to duplicate and parts with one you have in plastic, and it's very simple...

Wow Hello Trainnut, from what I've seen of your work, it will turn out great, and what a heck of a buy, $5.00, if you ever decide to sell, contact me, I will make it worth your while. Duane :thumb:

That's it Loren, but, how do they get the sand under the engines drivers? Thanks Loren, that's exactly what I didn't understand, now that we have that cleared up, how do they get the sand under the driving wheels of the engine? Duane :confused:

No dogs or cats here but, Since my Anny (Welch Springer) passed away a few years ago, and being my age, I didn't feel right about getting another dog, as it would more than likely outlive the old man, and that can be a killer for mans best friend, so I got a Bird, "Joey" he's a Cockatiel, but...

Hello all, since I got into the hobby a few years ago, I have wondered what the sand is used for on the railroads, but have been toooo embarrassed to ask, then remembering what a school teacher once said, "the only stupid question is one that goes unasked" and I've waited long enough, hoping...

Shamus Health David, I'm sure I speak for all on the Gauge, when I say how sorry I am to hear about your fathers health condition, but on a personal note, I will pray first for Shamus, that our God and Eternal Father will take him peacefully and without suffering when his time comes, and...

Great plan Loren, and you have obviously done a fine job on the bench work, that is probably the most important part of a layout is the solid, flat bench work, keep it up, and let us see progress as you are able. :thumb:

I concur with Dr.Wayne, I have used contact cement for many uses in model railroading, and it is great, you can use a spray can, or liquid, if using liquid, you can spread it fairly evenly with a stiff card, ie. credit card or the like. :thumb:
