Welcome Paul, Sounds like your off to a great start. Post some pics... I haven't done much with my layout lately. I'm in Fl. and I consider the last few months as the best outdoor weather. It will be getting hot soon and that's when I stay indoors and do the work. In the a/c of course. Have fun...

This just keeps getting better everytime I check it out. :thumb:

Question on trees Hey guys, I'm using the Woodland Scenics Tree Armatures here. Pictured below is (3) 3" trees I put together using Lichen. I was wonder how they look to you. Did I use to much Lichen or not enough? Does anyone have pics of trees you put together. Anyway, here are the pics...

Woke up early this morning and couldn't fall back to sleep. Thinking about removing the tape. I see it needs some touch up but, Most of what is white near the track will be hid by the ballast. and one more Hope to get more done today and over this 4 day weekend. Happy Holidays everyone.:thumb:

So I could disconnect the head light or add a light to the B unit. It does have a side window on each side. Maybe that would work. Thx.......

Had some time to do some work the last few days. I'm not sure how this is going to turn out. I guess thats why I'm doing this project. Just put down some paint on the hills. Tomorrow I need to remove the masking tape and make sure everything is still working ok. Then re-mask and start putting...

nolatron, it's looking real good. Hey, when you get that helix done how about throwing another video up in the post :thumb:

Well, I've been doing some work, but sometimes I think about things more than I work. I have started some of the scenery (landscape) but am not as far along as I would like to be. I wanted to tell everyone why I'm doing what I'm doing and why. My better half keeps asking me, "why did you built...

OK, just wanted to show a couple pics before the scenery starts. Below is the boxes, as I call them that I make. Also there is a set of the next boxes for the other side. I started reading in the Academy about Robin (Matthyro) and all the things he did with cerial boxes and cardboard boxes and...

I just bought a set "A & B" powered unit. Was very pleased at first. It the Proto not sure exactly what. Had a derailment by mistake on my part and the B unit completely out ran the A unit. Then I started noticing going up hill the B unit was pushing the A unit. Don't know if it's suppose to do...

Way to go..............Christmas is just around the corner. So Merry Christmas to all.

I just took some pics using 640x480 and to say the least the quality stinks. I will try the 800x600 to see how that works but that will have to wait now. I want to finish the last 2 lines at the upper end so I can start with some scenery. Thanks for the tips though.

Roger, I have a web site that there posted to. I don't know why there so big, but I notice you can move them with the arrows. Gary, I know you post pics, how do you do it?

O.K. I finally got a couple pics to post of my layout under construction. What is the best way to do it. Do I download the pics to this site or do I need to do a link to some where else????

Cool, thanks for the info guys. At least I know I can use them, if not now at least in the future. I did put a couple sets on some flat bed carrier cars and they look ok. I checked some passinger cars I have and the trucks are set in farther but there 6 wheel trucks. But I get the idea about...

Well now, that was all funnysign1 But they have to make them for some reason. If no one wants them, why would they make them? If they make them just to sell them to newbees that don't know better I would think people would get P.Oed and quit buying their stuff. I really think there must be a reason.

Just a hint, and a question also. This week I thought I had a little extra money. So after work I ran to the LHS and picked up a bulk pack of Micro Trains #1038-10 Barber Roller bearing trucks. I was having a lot of trouble with the cars I have, cause I bought most of the on evil bay. So I...

Steamhead, I was wondering if that could happen. Thank for the info. If I see it wobbling I'll know what the problem is now. Thanks...............Dennis:thumb:

ok, this is cool. I thought these were sealed units. I just realized that the top comes off. The number on the boxes are 2661, 2662 and 2664. I never been inside one of these. looks like there is a metal bar that connects to each set of wheels and then there are these white pieces connecting the...

I bought a lot "5 cars" from e-bay. Three of them are Atlas Illuminated passinger cars, and 2 are another brand. But I'm not sure if them 2 are Illuminated. The probem is only one of them lights up and that is only now and then and it seems to be in certain parts of the track. Like on a corner...
