[GWMS] Awesome News
I did post this in our club topic but I couldn't help putting it here to. I will be receiving for me a NCE cup, hat and shirt along with for the club an NCE Power Cab System I can't wait to try this thing out. Also with that they sent 4 decoders which is a perfect start for our club.
[GMWS] Cheap Water
Does anyone know of cheap water for model railroads since our club had little to no budget. If you know of a source or how to make some yourself please let me know. Thanks for your help and don't forget to check our club topic page- http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/22436
Short cicuit protection for the NCE Powercab
This is my first post, having just been introduced to this great magazine by a fellow model railroader.
I am 72 and my son 38, and together we are building a shoulder height double track mainline layout around the walls of an average sized room. The layout will feature a mainline in Philadelphia between 1935 and 1950.The layout will be running three loco's maximum at any one time, one of which is a 1970's brass model of the Pennsylvania L6 electric loco.
A walk down Bear Creek.... to South Jackson
Due to scheduling (I have entirely too much of one), I haven't been back to operate on Charlie Comstock's Bear Creek & South Jackson in about a year. He's been running some form of Timetable and Train Order operations now for about two years, and I think I've made it to three op sessions in that time. It's interesting seeing how the TT&TO progresses as the layout gets ever larger and closer to completion.
As you duck under the rails crossing the entrance, all the new construction hits you in the face:
Speakers for DCC Sound Decoders
Hello Everyone,
I would like tio introduce a new and awesome speaker to all of my fellow molders. I have a friend that owns a computer repair shop here in Dallas, TX. he gave me a couple of different pairs of speakers from lap tops that are no longer upgrade able. These speakers are both very small, compact and have a very large range of sound. If you think about that volume and every thing that you can play on a lap top then why not.
Stripping Acrylic Paint
What would you use to strip acrylic paint from heavyweight passenger cars without harming the plastic?
Merit Badge Academy - Scouting Paychecks
In scouting, we typically get a few grumbles, and a few Scouts that say something nice, but today was a first for me.
In the mail today, I received a thank you card from a Scout for doing the Railroading Merit badge at Merit Badge Academy this past Saturday. The scout got my address from the blue card, as he was the 1 scout from out of council in Saturday's classes. (My classes typically fill up fast and the way the council structures sign-up, in council gets a week head start on out of council Scouts, so I don't see many out of council scouts).
LED color question
Hi I am back with another question this one about the color you recommend for LED lighting. I will most likely get the rolls and am not sure what the best color is. If you could share your opinions below that would be great. Thanks again to all of you.
TICHY KITS
Who has built tichy's cement car and found that this kit is a kitbached kit with no help in explaining the exit hatch doors (brass wire ???) and wire hangers to the bottom edge of body under the doors? And I can't find a proto type photo. I found the finished model photos (3) in kit so grainy and dark that they are useless! Tichy stuff is wonderful BUT this seems to be a bump in the road. I consider myself a good craftsmen. Years of building as realistic as possible BOY COULD I USE YOUR HELP! JIM
