Extreme diesel weathering ...

Fri, 2013-02-15 22:47 — mikeconfalone

Hello everyone.

Hope you enjoy the following images. Hopefully the color looks right as I seem to have an issue with color profile on my end. Let me know how they look on your monitors if you don't mind. This is a sneak peak of some of the Allagash diesel roster, which has recently been weathered. I was really getting tired of looking at a roster of clean locos. it was time to get 'em dirty! I've also included a couple of pics of Atlantic Great Eastern (AGE) Alco RS11s as well. The AGE interchanges with the AGR and we have a run-through agreement.

I was doing a little searching on the google machine trying to find some go-by photos for weathering. I found this gem and thought I would ask, What are some of the more interesting rolling stock graffiti/art you have come across?

Cracked gears

Wed, 2013-02-13 06:45 — Bernd

I know many of us have had or are having this problem. Cracked gears on your axles. I'm hoping to come up with a fix that is easy to do for those that don't have a lathe or access to one.

Low Profile Wheels for N Scale Locomotives

Sun, 2013-02-10 18:45 — Consolidated Sh...

I am looking for low profile wheels for atlas VO 1000 and KATO RS-2 locomotives. I have code 40 flex track on a portion of my layout. My Kato NW-2 have no problems with this track. Can someone tell me who manufacturers low profile wheel sets for those locomotives?

Thanks

Re-gauging N Scale Bachmann 4-8-4

Fri, 2013-02-08 18:23 — Fidel Naidoo

Hello.....

I was brought here a few hours ago by the thread that had to do with a Bachmann N scale 4-8-4 not negotiating tight curves.

On further investigating, I found out that a potential problem is that of the wheels being gauged correctly. I know that this must be done GENTLY, but just don't know what to do to decrease the gauge.

Or, am I correct in thinking that the wheels must be tapped down? That sounds like "what could possibly go wrong?"

On30 Tips, Ideas, & Pictures

Wed, 2013-02-06 07:58 — Bernd

At Doug's request for some ideas, tips, and pictures I've started this thread.

I modeled both in O and HO scale for a while now and have a few months back decided I needed to stick to one scale in order to get anything finished model wise. Here are some pictures of a project I started but never finished. It's a set of nine On30 wooden boxcars.
