Hello every one, I was fed up with my old dial-up modem, so I kind of dropped out from the forums and news groups for a while!! But that didn't stop me from buying Model Railroad stuff!! And one of the places I bought stuff from, was the Iron Horse Hobbies store, that I think is down in...

From this,

This is some pictures of my friends layout that we have been working on for the last couple of years. He had never turned a wheel, in HO, but knew he wanted a layout. I sat down with a pencil and paper, and drew some track. He said can we have a track over here, and one going in there? By...

Hello all, I'm considering setting up a Paypal account on my wifes website. She would only be selling low dollar items and probably not very many of them:eek: :eek: We are in Canada. Any one have some first hand experiance with the Paypal program, fees, reliability or any other issues that...

I read Casey Feedwaters post about his structure, showing the frost fence, and he mentioned the use of bridal veil. Well I mentioned it to my friend today and she came back with a piece of 'Tulle' I'm sure it was enough to do 10 miles of frost fence. Here's what I did. I cut my .020 wire...

I have been reading alot about 'Sunshine Models' lately in RMC, and haven't seen any adds for them. I googled SunshineModels.com, and before I hit the 'enter' key, I crossed my fingers that I wouldn't get bombarded with junk :mad: :mad: :curse: :curse: :oops: :oops: Believe it or not I...

and the scene is completed with a little 'shrubery', and the addition of Mom and Dad. And it's off to my friends layout for a little exposure :wave: :wave: :wave:

I built an Ash Creek Lumber Co. MoW / RIP shack with plans from T. F. I plan on giving it to a friend to put on his layout. Now I'll have a reason to bring my 'modern' McCloud boxcars out of storage. He is modelling a free lanced modern theme. (he buys what ever is new!!!) Besides, I...

The last of the link and pin skeleton cars. This last car today, has a KD#5 at the one end, with the link/pin at the other end.

I've finished both of the Red Ball, Manns Creek hoppers. They are a combination of styrene and laser cut brass parts. They go together pretty good, but a lot of imagination is required. The directions for these is allmost as bad as for their skeleton log cars. Her is a loaded one,

I don't have enough log cars, ;) ;) , so I thought I better do a couple more;) ;) . These are the MDC Twin Pak Skeleton cars.

I had never seen, or heard of them before, and with only one loco pic showing a 'link' on it, and after much thought, and a little help from Jon, I decided to finish my link and pin couplers like this. They abviously won'y couple to a standard coupler, but I'm doing a small hopper with a...

I'm still getting every thing I'll need, for the MDC two truck shay kit I'm building. I was wondering if any one has put a decoder into it and if so, what other mods would be required? It looks like the motor will need to be isolated for sure. What about the decoder, what size would fit? what...

I was just looking through the bible for the upgrade/regear kits for the MDC two truck shay kits. I found this; 53-1806 - 72-1 regear kit 53-1886 - Bull gear upgrade 53-1866 - partial regear kit So I'm not sure which I should order as I start to build my MDC kit! Also, I found...

Hello all, I bought the new Red Ball, Mann's Creek kits recently, and this is the second one that I finished now. It's a 15 ton side dump hopper. The kit was indended to be narrow gauge, but I made it standard gauge. Needless to say, the car sits a little higher than it should. The...

I have the Rivarossi McCloud River Railroad two truck Heisler, and in runs great. I have it weathered up nice and it has allready been involved in a photo shoot! But, what decoder has any one put into it and was there any problems with the instalation? Thanks, Drew

I picked up a MDC kit that I am going to put together this winter. I have heard talk of the different upgrades that you can put in the MDC unit. I've also heard that if you don't do the kit right, it won't run! Well, mine is going to run, but I want to install the upgrade gears, wheels etc...

I have been stock piling all my logging stuff for the up-coming winter months! Well, up here in Alberta, winter is just around the corner. So... I got started on the new Manns Creek log buggy. But I have a problem with the way the 'link' coupler attaches to the center sile. What I ended...
