Tsunami for large scale ride on
Is there a way to obtain the Tsunami sounds from their decoder to use in large, ride on scale? I use a Phoenix system now but Tsunami has better, more varied, sounds. They are, however, intended for use in HO etc. and controlled by DCC. I want to use it in 1½" scale and control without DCC. Us there a way to do this?
Glue accessories?
When speaking of accessories I am referring to vehicles. Do you glue your vehicles in place using something like the Woodland Scenic Accent Glue? This is a tacky adhesive and is not a permanent glue.
I can see when it some to keeping the layout dust free it would be better to not have to remove anything that could be sucked up by the vacuum cleaner.
N scale Diesel repair?
If anyone repairs their N scale diesel locos, where do you find parts. I'm referring to older stock, not something listed on the Mfr's website. For example, I have an Atlas that was made in Austria, that I believe has a bad motor (it hums but won't run) . It's too old for Atlas to stock, and e-bay has none listed. So my question is where do I find one?

Many of you have probably read Rob's great thread on this site on modeling water on the 8th Sub. I figured it was a "keeper" and created a PDF which I saved to my computer and with Rob's permission posted to my Richlawn Railroad website. If you would like a copy that you can download click on the link below and then right click where indicated to save the PDF to your computer.
A special thanks to Rob for sharing his excellent work and for giving permission to download the PDF.

Nothing innovative here – just a point of view and approach that may be of interest to some.
When I built my chainsaw I initially used DC and then converted to DCC to make objective comparisons. No surprise that DCC won the contest, but I was introduced to the dubious pleasure of obscure short circuit sleuthing.
One of the strangest was an intermittent short related to poor manufacturing tolerances on the built in switch of a solenoid turnout motor.
TEAR DOWN #3
GETTING IT DONE...I STARTED THIS ABOUT 6AM YESTERDAY MORNING I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS UP TO THIS POINT. STILL HAVE A BUNCH MORE TO DO & I NEED TO GET IT DONE BY TOMORROW NIGHT. I AM GOING IN FOR MINOR HAND SURGERY ON TUESDAY
THE 2 PAINT SWATCHES I SHOWED AT THE OPEN NING OF THIS VID CAN BE FOUND AT LOWES. IT'S THEIR "VALSPAR BRAND" I THINK THAT THE TEXTURE IS GOING TO BE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR MY "N" SCALE STRUCTURES TO BE ADDED TO THE EXISTING WALLS TO CREATE A STUCCO EFFECT. I TOOK A BUNCH OF EACH COLOR.
