    Darjeeling & Himalayan Rwy

    Andrew, Interesting info about your grand father. I've got the PBS show on tape and that's where I first saw the DH Rwy. Then I did a search on the world wild web and found the links I listed. Its certainly is a neat little railway. It would make an interesting model rwy. Dave

    winter scenery

    Peter, Nice job, I particularly like the stone bridges. What did you use for snow and is it glued down or just sprinkled on? Dave

    winter scenery

    I'm just getting back into model rr'ing after a hiatus of about 8 years. The layout I'm working on is a small switching layout in HO and I'd like to make it a winter theme. While surfing the world wild web I've come across a couple of Z scale layouts with great winter scenes. But doing...

    old MR articles

    Hey shaygetz thanks. The throttle I have on the layout right now (track just getting layed) occassionally drops voltage in one direction. I looked at the handheld component and a resistor has come loose and I'm not quite sure where to solder it back. As there's are only two components in the...
