    I just received this e-mail with a totally authentic-appearing PayPal html background. I suspect it is a phishing scam; I forwarded it to PayPal's spoof address. Appears very dangerous to me. Plese do not respond to such without verification! "We recently noticed an attempt to log in to...

    Foam roadbed

    I'm working on a very small corner layout with 10" radius curves. I've got some foam roadbed, which I think will curve okay if I cut it in half. I saw mentioned in a previous thread some "latex contact cement" or "foam-safe contact cement." Has anyone used this stuff? Think I could get it...

    Decal Mania

    :wave: My sister gave me a nice little Atlas #701 Gate Tower kit. It comes with what I thought were water-slide decals, on a clear plastic sheet rather than a paper backing. Soaking in water does not loosen them.:confused: Am I extra slow this weekend? I'll try alcohol next, I guess, or...

    Marklin

    The museum in Clarksville has two layouts tended by a small volunteer group. The HO/N layout has a loop of Marklin M-track (I think) in the center. They have had considerable problems keeping the Marklin locos running. They are small 2-6-0's, IIRC (great detail memory). One was sent to Marklin...
