Do you mean build a quartering jig? Sluggs

Quick question? How did you handle widening the brake gear to fit the wider wheels? Sluggs

Received my mogul in the mail yesterday, MRR has gone a long way since I left the hobby. Yes, I will have to save my pennies and get one of the metal quartering jigs, the one I have is too big for O narrow. Looking at this model I see a lot of work to space it out, not only axles and frame...

Hmmm good values? I'm a biker, and everyone knows that scooter trash have no values, I need my balet slippers for parties, I have no balence, spent it all on a new Harley.... but magic I can do POOF.... I'm gone....:wave:

I love military dioramas, but then I could go on forever about stuff I love.... thats why model railroading works for me, it can have a little of everything :cool:

You are so right, small prototypes, even in On3, short trains, clean equipment..... russia iron boilers, gold leaf, polished brass, etc. My era is a bit later, 1910 - 1915 because I love model 't" Fords and the like, automatic couplers and oil for fuel. As for the quartering jig, I was digging...

Yup, but in On3 you don't have a 50 loco yard. I thunk of something I ran across the other day... and they come in HO, S, O scales... wagons, wagons, and more wagons! Laser cut wood kits, they look great.... so many of us love modeling the early years. Grizzly Mountain Engineering has a slew...

Years ago when Edaville was a reality, me and momma had a season pass and went there very often.... get tired of it? NEVER....Miss it? Oh Yes! Good luck on your project, I can't wait to see the progress Sluggs

Thanx for starting this, I will now go to six inch gauge and you will be considered "wide gauge".... BTW, how will I keep my shtuff upright?sign1 Sluggs

San Juan Car Company sells a 70.8 to 1 Falhauber micro motor and gearbox assembly, but it aint cheap.....$198.00 The catalog numbrt is 100 Bet that mogul would d r i f t down the track.:cool: Sluggs

sumpter250 I'm good with that. It's nice to see a little more activity around here, I know I'll be interested in seeing what you've got going on. If any of the On30 guys want to stray to On3 for a project, I took thr tip on making the On30 B-mann mogul into On3, checked out Grandt Line and...

nkp274, I have a couple of Kemtron kits, On3, c-16 and 0-6-0T, one each of all the Russian River car kits, some LaBelle passenger kits, Grandt Porters and work goose, PSC stuff like logging disconnects etc, etc. This squirrel had full cheeks..... hehehe. On a serious note, until I get corneal...

Thanks, I will get a new NWSL catalog Sluggs

North West Short Line makes a quartering jig for 3mm and 1/8" axles, does anyone else make one for larger diameter axles? Sluggs

nkp174 I opened boxes recently that I stored in the attic on the off chance that my frustration levels would go down and begin modeling again. There are soooo many goodies I squirreled away... hehe! I am starting again but at this point I will only do a few kits and such, as I plan to relocate...

Pete, I will start a new thread in the narrow gauge forum, but drop by here from time to time and pick up info...... there's nothing like someone else doing a project and when I read about it my creative juices begin to flow. That is why these forums are so beneficial to all. Thanks. Sluggs

NKP174 Thanks for the info. Wheel quartering is a large pain, and if you screw up by a few thousands, it will never run smoothly. Bob Brown simply pulled the wheels out a scale 3 inches on both sides and used epoxy to fill the spaces in the wheels. I will give this some serious thought before I...

MT, At the time that I wrote the message I was uncertain as to what my options were as far as On30 vs On3. Last night I found the article in the Nov/Dec 1998 issue of the NG&SL Gazette written by BoB Brown. With this new info I have decided to go with On3, mainly because 90% of my kits are On3...

Most of the "stuff" I have been storing for years is On3, I have ordered a Bachmann 2-6-0 and was thinking of regauging to On3, is there a kit available? Trying to regauge grandt porters and a work goose might be tough..... BTW I am free lancing so (almost) anything goes. Sluggs

Hello all, my name is sluggs, I am back in to model railroading after a dozen or so years and I,m sure some of you can help me with some questions. Thanks for letting me join.
