    Wheel Quartering

    Received my mogul in the mail yesterday, MRR has gone a long way since I left the hobby. Yes, I will have to save my pennies and get one of the metal quartering jigs, the one I have is too big for O narrow. Looking at this model I see a lot of work to space it out, not only axles and frame...

    You are so right, small prototypes, even in On3, short trains, clean equipment..... russia iron boilers, gold leaf, polished brass, etc. My era is a bit later, 1910 - 1915 because I love model 't" Fords and the like, automatic couplers and oil for fuel. As for the quartering jig, I was digging...

    Yup, but in On3 you don't have a 50 loco yard. I thunk of something I ran across the other day... and they come in HO, S, O scales... wagons, wagons, and more wagons! Laser cut wood kits, they look great.... so many of us love modeling the early years. Grizzly Mountain Engineering has a slew...

    Renewed work on my On3

    nkp174 I opened boxes recently that I stored in the attic on the off chance that my frustration levels would go down and begin modeling again. There are soooo many goodies I squirreled away... hehe! I am starting again but at this point I will only do a few kits and such, as I plan to relocate...
