Does anyone know where I might get instructions in English for the 1/25 scale angraf model GAZ AA? Thanks Cheers Will

Not certain where to post this but. Alice papermodel stores is selling pirated what are free down load models elsewhere. Was just advised over on paperhobby that his free download TSR 2 British fighter is being sold at the subject site. He acknowledged they are very good with PhotoShop as they...

I am not certain if this is the place to ask this question, but.:confused: Can anyone tell me when and what happened to Vintage Reproductions who used to make the excellent snow modelling products? Can anyone tell me what material they used to make things like their slushy snow and wet snow...

Okay my main modelling inability is trying to build, modify, or sometimes run/operate electrically powered model locomotives and their mechanisims. I am in posession of three unbuilt Grandt line "O" scale 3 foot gauge Porter kits complete with motors. At the time of acquisition I modelled in HO...

On an extremely long (intergalactic proportioned) shot. Does anyone happen to know or know of a source that shows the cross section/profile of the lengthwise horizontal top rail of a 1919 Gregg Company Confluente model export railway car? Cheers from the Heart of the Continent MT Hopper

Can anyone tell me the width and lengths corrugated iron siding was available in during the 1930's and 1940's? Even the Corrugated Iron Club (Yes there was such a club) didn't post width and length dimensions. I am guessing that the siding during the time period I'm looking at would have been...

Can anyone tell me what width and length corrugated sheet metal came in during the 1930's, 1940"s? Thanks MT Hopper

Does anyone have a technique for modelling the actual sugar cane plants in O scale? Cheers MT Hopper

No one including the LHS uses or carries On30 equipment. It is therefore hard for me to check out any detailed info. Would anyone happen to know the Diameter of the wheels on the Bman 2-8-0? Also what is the distance from axle centre to axle centre? I ask because I am hoping the 2-8-0- can serve...

Hooray! I don't have to reinvent the wheel!! Thanks to dedicated hard working folks my "O" scale figure journey is over!! At Yahoo!s' groups there is one ONG_REFERENCE. Back in 2003 a chap photographed and measured many of the popular manufacturers figure products. About the only thing that is...

It was a dark and cold December night 30 years ago. Chilled by the prarie howler and stung by the snow I welcomed the warmth of the Hobby shop as I stepped through the door into the dim light my breath sending up a plume of steam that would have done justice to a 2-10-0.Two of the regulars were...

I am just curious. Is anyone here going to try the new Japanese "T" scale (1/450 scale 3 mm gauge) railways models? Cheers from the Heart of the Continent MT Hopper

Can anyone tell me if Vintage Reproductions snow kits are still available? Cheers MT Hopper

THE BACKROUND: While perusing some of the other forums and some other websites it suddenly occurred to me. I used to envy the On2 equipment I would see in the magazines but I was a kid and couldn't afford it. Then as a teen, girls and cars were the prime target for fund expenditures and I didn't...

Chainhauls and ponds are prototypical for timber/lumber operations. All the sources I've encountered to date suggest that for pulp & paper mills, only trucks or pulpwood cars are used to haul the wood out.That's fine BUT they all appear to simply dump the pulpwood logs into piles on the...

If an item is advertised as being "O" scale AND it comes out of North America (say Baltimore Maryland), then it would be reasonable to accept it as "O" scale, 1/4" = 1 foot, 1/48 proportion. This is NOT TRUE. I am a newbie to North American "O" scale. I bought a pack of Life Like "O" scale...

Being a newbie to On30, and to therefore try to plan a layout, I would like to know if folks use On3 gauge or O standard gauge clearances when laying out their track plans? I am running three Grandt Line Porter 0-4-0 's a B-man Forney, and a B-man Shay so far. I would like to run a B-man 2-8-0...

Has anyone acquired and used one of Bachmans On30 2-4-4 Forneys? What is the minimum practical radius for these units? I am guessing 24" minimum with 30" minimum preferred? Cheers Will

What distances are folks using for track centre seperation on linear and on curved track in On30? Cheers Will
