I'm convinced the flu shot is a conspiracy by the medical field to make money. Once you take it, you'll have to take it every year or you are guaranteed to get the flu.

Sounds like a bunch of chodes !! I would just tell the name of the club and get it out there. They deserve to know that what they did was unacceptable in the model railroading community.

It probably has to do with what you were reading at the time. Prayer changes things !!!!

What locos/parts did you use to kitbash the GP40-2L ??

Wayne, Those are great. A lot of inspiration in those photographs. My compliments on the weathering also, especially on the trucks. Do you airbrush those? I have a lot to learn and I'm not in any hurry. I've been armchairing it for about two years and probably will be for another couple of...

I agree about the "tedious and frustrating" I need to try the yardmaster kit. Here's my short take on the blueprint kit... http://forum.zealot.com/t156429/

Well I finished putting the model together. It was tougher than I thought it was going to be. Those parts are so fragile and so small. I guess I made the usual rookie mistakes. I broke a brake lever trying to cut aways some flashing. I broke the rung on one of the ladders, I lost some grab irons...

According to the website, it has DCC w/sound. Am I reading it wrong? They have others that are cheaper without the DCC and sound.

How good are these locomotives? Do they run smooth with good sound? I was thinking about purchasing this one Broadway Limited Imports I haven't heard much about this company. I searched around the forum and found only a few references to them. Most of them were positive. Anyone have this...

RailPictures.Net - The BEST railroad photos on the 'net! you can search by locomotive type and railroad, fallen flags and all. Best site hands down in my opinion.

I am not interested in operations. I'm interesting in realistic details, sound, lighting and the like. However, my favorite HO layouts are both shelf layouts. Lance Midheim's "East Rail Layout" Lance Mindheim Dot Com and Mike Confalone's "Hardwick and Woodbury Division" in Model Railroad...

I realize I ask a lot of questions and change my mind a lot but I always recieve a lot of good advice. I'm a continuous run kind of guy, but it seems every HO layout I really like is a shelf or around the wall type layout. I would have room for a good shelf layout on two, and part of a third...

Thanks for all the advice. I bought some sprue cutters and some testors liquid plastic cement last night. I need a#75 and #61 pin vice I think before I can put it together. Let me make a correction. It is not a Clinchfield box car it is a Gulf Mobile and Ohio.

I bought my first HO scale freight car this past weekend. It is a branchline blueprint kit, 50' Clinchfield Boxcar. I want to detail it but was told since this is my first attempt I should just use the parts that come with the kit. I was also told that i could use super glue to put it together...

Squid, Those are great. I really like the second one. I meant to call it the Turtle Creek Southern instead of Central in my first post. When I finally build a layout I just might use that second plan if you don't mind.

I was wondering if any of you track planning software junkies could turn Kent J. Johnson's Turtle Creek Central into a 4.5 x 6.5 foot layout... seen here... Amazon.com: Basic Model Railroad Track Plans: Small Starter Layouts You Can Build (Model Railroader Books): Books: Kent J. Johnson...

Do team tracks still exist? I haven't done a lot of research on the web about it yet. I just thought I would ask here first. If they are still in use, in what capacity? thanks in advance for any info.

I don't know much about what you all are talking about but I did find these pictures at railpictures.net. RailPictures.Net Photo » Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) EMD F7(A) RailPictures.Net Photo » Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) EMD F7(A)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Food processing sounds pretty interesting. I'll have to think about that. In the mean time Nievo has given me hope. Thanks. I like your set-up. Andrew, I thought about that. I don't know how good I would be at modeling flats. I'm new at this stuff and...
