Train Wrecks?

Thu, 2012-10-18 15:47 — Brownshoe Sailor

I just got an eMail from Kalmbach with the subject "What if something went wrong on the tracks?",  trying to sell me "Train Wrecks"  -  the 100 worst train wrecks.   But what I want to see is the "What if something went wrong with the benchwork?" when Famous Power Tool Accidents Illustrated comes out with their model railroading issue.

Kindle Fire HD and MRH forum issues.

Wed, 2012-10-17 21:01 — dkaustin

My Kindle Fire HD is trying to keep me from posting these issues with MRH. I just got kicked out right at the moment to submit! So, I have to post this again.

YouTube Videos.  I am hoping JoeF can verify this. Railbox306 post a video showing his NS diesel and two tank cars running on his lightweight modules.  That displays just fine.  Art Houston post a video of the St. Louis Gateway N scale op. That is not okay. What I see, it a big gray block with a puzzle piece in the center. A broken link? I know it is okay on my laptop.

Santa Fe Fonts?

Wed, 2012-10-17 08:47 — mrboyjrs

Does anyone know what font the Santa Fe RR used on their depots for their "SANTA FE" signs...?

I know Veranda looks similar, but I would like to know what the prototype used...

Thanks

Motive power recomendation?

Tue, 2012-10-16 19:44 — kLEROYs

I wanted to pick your minds.  Can you guys give me you recommendation on motive power, as in manufacturers?  I see, Bachman, Kato and the likes, but can you tell me what you use and why you use it, pros/cons?  I'll be working in HO modern(ish) era diesel.

Thanks,

Leroy

dropped login

Is anyone else getting dropped more frequently than usual?  My login seems to get dropped every few hours, often when I switch from one thread to another.  It's been happening for the last week or so and is becoming quite frustrating.

Removing Factory Lettering

Sun, 2012-10-14 20:01 — fecbill

I have an Atlas GP38 factory painted in Southern. I want to change the number, one to better reflect a GP38AC ( I am not into cutting fuel tanks to be correct SR GP38) and to avoid conflict with another locomotive with the same number at our club.

What is the best way to remove the factory number so I can renumber the unit? I have the SR decals to renumber the locomotive.

Thank you for any input and advice.

Blessings

Domino Staging Yards

Sun, 2012-10-14 18:35 — Visitor

I have been working on my Kansas City Southern (HO scale) layout.  I am using domino construction and as I add new sections (dominoes) to the layout, I move my Ënd of Track  staging yard.  Not only is the staging yard movable, but it can easily be re-configured.

Is it just me or............

..............is the economy of modeling (at least in O scale) picking up?

As many of you might recall, I lost my layout to a fire a couple of years back.  Prior to a move to a new location and starting on a layout, I started purchasing items including structure kits as well as some built ups and rolling stock for both O standard and On30.  Here are some examples of what I found:

Red Caboose 42 ft flats I bought a number of for between $18 and $28.  I bid on one last week but it sold for $42.
