Been in similar pickles myself. You might try scrubbing the turnout parts with water and a stiff brush repeatedly, and over time the water putty may soften enough that it can be worked out of the moving parts. This may take several repeat procedures. And in the end it may also take the...

Well, you're right, they are not frequently seen on manufactured rolling stock. I just wanted folks to know that they can buy replacement wheelsets that won't interfere with coupling if they want metal ones on their rolling stock.

This only happens if the axles are steel. If they are nickel or brass, there is no problem; nickel and brass are non-magnetic.

Josh-- Great-looking work! You may want to get in touch with Rick Spano, who is putting the finishing touches on his N scale Freytag Steel Mill for his Sceniced and Undecided Railway (see the Phase III photo gallery). You appear to share many of the same challenges, and are taking some...

Mystery seems to have been solved, as Mr. Day explains: David, No, you are not going crazy. We are as you can tell, in the midst of change. We've upgraded the software and with it came a few defaults that we're adjusting as we go along. You got caught in one of them, some new anti-spam...

OK, this is getting absurd. I just posted a message on the "What has everyone done this weekend?" thread, and it did not appear. I've never seen anything quite like this, except at work, where I'm behind a firewall; right now I'm at home, no firewall, and I have no trouble like this on any other...

Most of my weekend was dominated by honey-dos, but I did manage to dust off an old project, a powered N scale hi-rail. I published the details on this page: The White River and Northern Model Railroad: Clinic

Well, something very, very strange is going on. When I posted my previous comment on this thread, there were no posts from me in the other thread. Having just checked again, now there are three! It didn't matter if I refreshed my screen, cleared cache, cookies, history, etc.--the messages just...

Well, my post under "You gotta see this!" appeared yesterday evening, then this morning promptly vanished again. I guess I'm jinxed.

Well this is all very odd. I see that my post has appeared here (right away, in fact), so I posted to the other thread again, and nothing has appeared. To make matters even stranger, the thread (which is here: http://forum.zealot.com/t117400/ ) shows two pages of replies, but when I click on...

OK, folks, this will be my fourth attempt to post to this thread (perhaps it's a message from the gods that I'm not allowed to respond here). This would have been my first post at The Gauge were it not for the technical glitches. At any rate, the micro-layout seen in the videos is actually...

It will be interesting to see if this message is posted. I replied to another thread earlier today, but the message did not appear. So I replied again, still no post. A few hours later, both posts appeared, so I deleted one of them as a duplicate. Both posts promptly disappeared. So, I made a...

Hello, all, my first post here--sort of. The first time I posted, nothing showed up. A little while later, I posted again, and it still didn't show up. Came back a few hours later, and both posts were there. I deleted one of them as a duplicate, and they both disappeared! Methinks some...

Thanks, all, it was a lot of fun to make. Actually this one was the second that I made--the first, which is slightly larger, is on Rick Spano's Sceniced and Undecided. I've made a great many "micro" animation devices ove rthe years. A few of them appear on this page. Oh, by the way, hello...
