G'day,Could someone tell me who makes good looking signals/control boxes? I'm not looking for the ones that work,just look realistic,I'm four hours from the nearest hobby shop so I can't go look,so I have to know what to ask for. I'm modeling CN,early/mid '60s,Nova Scotia. Thanks a bunch

G'day,as i've said before,all my stuff is "previously owned"and obtained from train shows.I now have to admit that my five dollar,train set controllers are not up to the task.They work ok with one engine at a time,or even two old Bachman F's,but two Athearns on a hill{and I have a couple of...

Yessir,nearly gave up. I'm not knacky when it comes to computers at the best of times,so when I came accross the new zealot home page and found it had no access to index I nearly quit,wasn't on for almost two weeks{Iwas going through my "bookmark",then I tried googeling "the Gauge" and walla...

I could have called it "outa luck" Bought a Kato RSC3 at a show on the weekend,all my engines {10} are from shows and I;ve had good luck,they all seem to run pretty well,till now. Put it on the layout,by itself,and it made about two laps{about 55 ft} then started to slow down,went another 5...

Would anyone have a photo or link to photos of side loading log trucks? I could wing it but then I'd hate it every time I looked at it. Thanks in advance.

Here there should be a photo{my sandard crappy photo}of my swap-meet F,that I practice on.You can't see them all but I was doing grab irons,aside from the ones on the side,there are some on the hood,beside the front door and on either side of the front coupler.These are not "store bought"grabs...

All my switches are Atlas snap switches ,they work ok but there's a few places that the "motor" looks bad,since I can't afford turtles I simply burried the "motor" beside the switch.I used the little tube that comes with WD40{heated,bent and cut to fit}for an actuating rod and made a balasted...

Well sorry,I don't actuall have the photos or the ability to give you a link,but if you go to Rapido's website,they have come out with PRE-WIRED telegraph poles! How cool is that? {I won't be able to aford them,but it's too bleepin' cool for words.

S bin a long time but that poll about scenry materials got me to dig out the tripod again. I also wanted to show off my new{?}RDC's NONE of the scenery is from a store,all natural and homade,the buildings are mapboard,some have sandpaper shingles,the windows are celofane from...

It's a good thing I'm lenient about details.I went to show on the weekend{17th}and was lucky enough to find two RDC's in my price range{nearly free}looked on my favorite site for CN photo's only to find out that the windows are wrong on both,I didn't notice this detail 'till I'd painted them...

Made my monthly trip to town today{ I live out in the sticks}and my first stop was Walmart toy section. There were some really nice 1/2 tons,a couple of mack junior's and a '56 ford, nice detail,opening doors and hoods only one thing ,they were 1:64. I talked to the manager once and he said...

I know what you'er all thinkin' and while that's right I don't mean that kind of touched {got new meds ] What I'm talking about is the message telling me I haven't posted for a while. I'm on quite a few forums,railway and motorcycle and they only notice when I say something not PC {can you...

All my engines were bought at shows and are "previously owned" none of them have any writing ,so how do I tell who made them? so ,say I wanted parts, I'm guessing they'er Athearn ,

I'm turning out to be a right slow learner when it comes to computers. My question is:how come some posts are kinda off to the side and you can't see the whole thing? I know what your gonna say ,just run it sideways with the little arrows at the bottom. Well I have little arrows at the side but...

With a bit of luck{good} March 31 should be a first for me,I have been saving my bottle/can money for nearly a year{the only RR money I have}and on Mar 31 I hope to attend the Cole Harbour{NS}show and buy stuff I WANT not just what I need. This.will be a "detail run". So unless I run accross a...

Every so often I take a peek at this forum 'cause I have an old mill on my empire. It's an old "turn down" mill that I worked in off and on for nearly twenty years.Very crude piece of gear,run by a Detriot deisel it could be heard for miles,and the noise inside ,with what seemed like miles of...

Word is,on a yahoo model site, that CN workers voted 96% in favor of strike, if I got it right they could go out to morrow

I would like to wish all my new virtual friends a Merry Christmas/Happy holliday whatever way you look at it.I hope you all at least enjoy good health and have a roof over your head.

I feel compelled to warn those of you that have been tolerant for so long. I'm getting a tripod for my birthday! Hopefully this will mean an end to fuzzy photos.

Amherst N.S Wallymart has train sets CN , F7 eight wheel drive. Two kankee cars, a hopper {green} and I think the other was a tank {too many head injuries} and a CN van. Knuckle couplers although I'm not sure who's $ 49.99 CDN. I'd make a poor witness.
