    Is this a possability??

    :thumb: White, blue, pink, yellow..... Styrofoam. They all do the same thing. :D But the grade is different and the cost. I'm using 2" white, blue and pink for the hot tub plus sprayed insulation. For my mountain back drops I used 2" blue. For ground scenery usually use 4" white with some 2"...

    The Third gauge Layout Party!!! :) :) :)

    Hey Tom. I don't know the type of weights you use, modelers use so many different types. But I use the square 1/2 oz. metal weight. Usually I cement my weights on or in my cars. But you can also use velcro strips attached to the weights. So when you want 4oz you can easily add the weight or...

    Decoders in cheap locos - worthwhile?

    Hi Jim. You won't go wrong in installing decoders in your older locos. When DCC first came out thats what I had to do. The wiring is not that difficult.

    June-July Track Planning Contest

    Okay here is my entry. This is a track plan for my future layout. http://railery.tripod.com/railsite/id1.html Unfortunately I have changed my mind again so I will be doing a new layout design in the up coming months. Looks like it will just go around the wall with a sitting area...

    New to the Guage, and armed with some questions!

    Hi Case. Sounds like you have a point to point shelf plan and want to add a turntable at one end. You will need to have a couple of legs on the front of your shelf unit to support the TT and round house. I like those RHs and I have two atlas turntables, one heljan and the super duper...

    What to use for glue

    :thumb: I use the white glue too. It takes overnight to dry but it sticks good. I also put weight on the piece to make sure the contact does not lift. :wave:

    how far should track be from the edge of the table?

    Horizon Hobbies buys MDC/Roundhouse!

    I sort of feel the same way. Horizon is buying up all they can. Hmmm they will soon be the biggest producer of model train gear. Hope it works out. Hate to see higher prices, or the loss of certain model lines.
