    Need a little help

    Could someone please take the time to explain this to me. Yes I am new to hobby. What the difference in all the turn outs? I am curious about the numbers. What would be used in what circumstance? I have a little bit of an idea, but need a little fine tuning.

    My first built up!

    UPDATE: As I said in an earlier post. The white box is a "photo" booth that I made for my other hobby. It has two 100 watt light bulbs about 4 inches overhead........ Long story short I plugged in the power strip to power up a lamp and did not realize the lights came on. The crane was still...

    Airbrush info needed

    Hi guys, I have a very cheap Testors airbrush. I have the cheapest one you buy a few years back. It hooks to a can. For bigger projects it works good. For finer detail it really stinks. I was looking at getting a new one. I know very little abut them. I searched ebay for a little bit. I came...

    Hercman, I did not take your reply as being rude at all. I enjoyed your reply, it gave me ideas as how to make it better. The white box is a "photo booth" that I made for my other hobby.

    I bumbed the brush on the leg. I figured I might as well "weather" it while I was at it. :rolleyes: Great Ideas about the grease and soot!

    My first built up!

    Hey guys let me know what ya think. I enjoyed building models when I was younger. This was a blast. I attemted to weather it a little. Not to happy with the "weathering". I also decided to add "cables" to the kit. I thought it needed a little more realism!

    Rolling stock kits.

    Thanks for the great responses! I decided the heck with it and went to the LHS. He had a few different brands. I picked up one Accurail BN box car. Very simple to build! I would guess less then 20 parts. As far as quality go's I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. Also bought one box car from Round...

    Rolling stock kits.

    Howdy all, I am looking for the "model" kits for HO rolling stock. Every time I do a search it comes up as "model Railroading". Any ifo you can give would be great. Are there pros and cons with the kits? I enjoy the scratch build stuff, so I figured this would be right up my alley.

    Where to buy track in bulk??

    Thanks for the great replys guys! I thought there were cheaper alternatives then the LHS. I am all for supporting the local guys, but I also like to save money where I can.

    Where to buy track in bulk??

    Yeah, I am sure this has been asked 10,000 times. I even attemted a search. So where do you guys buy your HO track in bulk? I really don't like the idea of buying track $0.90 at a time.

    XTrkCad download has moved

    So far I have spent about 2 1/2 hours "playing" around with it. Let me say it's alot harder to use then I thought. I am not giving up on it though. I have read "most" of the tutorial and put down a bit of track. A few questions I do have: How do you upload buildings and such? Can you...
