Can anyone help? I have old dry transfers that will not stick to the model. Is there any way to rejuvenate them?

JJL Models Status

Folks -

Being that Joe Lofland, owner of JJL Models, passed away in March 2014, does any know if any other company will pick up his products & offer them to the model community? He had great Erie caboose kits, but what I really liked was that he produced a locomotive that you rarely see in HO Scale: the Lima LS-1200 switcher (& yes, Alco Models had a brass version back in the 1970s, but good luck getting your hands on one today).

Athearn Plastic Handrails

Wed, 2014-10-01 07:23 — Visitor

I am having a lot of trouble keeping Athearn plastic hand rails on my locomotives.  I have an operating layout so they do get some handling.  I would like to glue them on with some type of adhesive.  Any ideas?

MTH dcc decoupling on ES44AC

Tue, 2014-09-30 18:27 — GetSmart007.5

Are there any issues involving MTH's H0 de/coupling on their ES44AC locos. 

 

Are there coupling issues dependent on the type of coupler it tries to mate to.

Thinking about buying one.

TIA

O-27 to S scale conversion

Tue, 2014-09-30 15:51 — ctxmf74

 Finally got around to finishing up my S scale Southern Pacific hy cube boxcar. It's an old Lionel O-27 car that I narrowed and replaced the O gauge trucks with S scale trucks to make an S scale Hycube.  I've always like the old red SP auto parts cars so thought this shorter version would make a neat addition to my S scale fleet. ...DaveB

Resurrection of the streamline era - scratchbuilt locos

Sun, 2014-09-28 09:16 — aerotrain

Maybe my studies and job - both dealing mainly with aerodynamics, streamlining etc. - caused my interest in streamlined rolling stock. So I scratchbuilt several prototypes of the 30's to late 50's (ok, some exceptions going into the 70's) in larger scales.

NRE Genset with MRC Sound Decoder

Fri, 2014-09-26 01:02 — Richie1295

   I have 2 NRE Gensets with MRC sound decoders. My issue is they start up way too fast going forward. Right when I get to speed step 1 its already going too fast. Reverse is fine. I tried dabbling with CV's 2 thru 4 ( Start voltage , acceleration/deceleration) but without success.

  What is kick start voltage and how can I either eliminate or prolong the time frame that the engine shuts down and restarts from idling mode ?
