Hi Folks,

The helix instructions by ART HOUSTON

Sun, 2011-12-04 11:23 — Blue Flamer

Down the right hand side under the heading, "RECENT BLOG POSTS", is a post by "GEORGE" in regards to, "The helix instructions by Art Houston". I have tried several times to access this information in the past 1/2 hour or so but NO INFO comes up. I have had no problem accessing any of these Blogs in the past or today.

Is there a problem with this link?

Layout evolution?

Sun, 2011-12-04 08:06 — vasouthern

I noticed a change in my layout about several years ago. I have been building for almost eight. It happened when my daughter was working on "her section". She asked where the hot glue gun was, I answered " South end of Dante Yard" She looked at me and I explained " back wall near the big tunnel at the yard, middle deck"

Return loop help needed

Sat, 2011-12-03 19:10 — Ontario Eastern

Hey folks-

need some help-I am doing a return loop, and I am tight on space-I have it in at a 22" radius but wondering if I should make it a min 24" radius, as I will be running 6 axle and the odd 85' car. With the 22" rad I have about 2.5 feet approx to work with, with the 24" I have 2ft give or take a few inches -the 22" is in pink-24 is gray-it is set to go under the main island for storage- any help would be great.

repowering an old loco

Sat, 2011-12-03 09:51 — dagenham

I was at a toy show last weekend and picked up an old Atlas/Rivarossi N scale Fairbanks Morse "c" loco.

Long story short, it doesn't run. The motor is toast. All three of the wires from the windings are broke off from the area where the brushes make contact. 

I dont think I can fix the wires so I was going to look for a replacement motor for it.

Who do you guys recommend for a new motor?? Any advise would be helpful.
